CityWalk Orlando Updates & Changes General Thread

[Jake S]

Robert Niles over at Theme Park Insider posed an interesting question: Can y'all think of a really good theme park burger, whether it's in the park or at an adjoining shopping district? Burgers are on my list of foods that I can cook much more cost effectively (and often, much better) at home so I couldn't even tell you the last time I bought a burger at a theme park.

I’ll go to bat for Cowfish, which has been consistently strong for me since they’ve opened.

Back when my culinary palette was a bit more, ahem, boring, I did get the Mythos burger every now and again and recall it being very solid. Haven’t had it in years, though, so can’t speak to where it stands now.

Robert Niles? The Mythos Banner Guy?




But on a serious note:

There's only 3 places I'll get a burger from at Universal. Finnegan's Red Dragon, Hard Rock Legendary, and Cowfish (when I'm not having sushi).

you should try the Kitchen sometime.

you should try the Kitchen sometime.

I have! And have had the burger.

But if I’m going to any of the hotel restaurants, I’m usually not gonna get a burger.

Oh man do I feel this in my soul . I missed out on it last time, hope I can catch it this time.

I've gotta imagine if you tell them, "I'm here for the $20 cocktails. I tip 20 percent" you're good to go.

This happende to me once in the dressingroom of a fitness center. The computer gave you a code and I forgot it. After training I went for a swim and then I decided to forget it so I had to walk in my speedo's to reception. The lady went with me, tons of naked men commenting and she was like "there is here nothing I haven't seen before". After that I had a water proof pen with me so there is your tip.

I'll also go to bat for Cowfish - the service is pretty bad and always has been, but the burgers have always been very good.

Yeah Cowfish service is quite abysmal, but at least the food is great (crab dip, etc.)

Burgers at Toothsome used to be good, but it's lost its interest

Expansion?

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Expansion?

Maybe? I haven no idea. Just really odd!

I'd imagine it's just a refurb, but it's fun to imagine -

I've always imagined in my mind what a Citywalk expansion could look like, and where it would go. This probably makes the most sense.

(Before Rip Ride Rockit died, I always thought they could fit something in the Blue Man Group plaza area - but it looks like F&F is taking up that space!)

My opinion: They should build a private party pavilion, so they don't have to shut down the bar/restaurant area for their zillion "Private Parties". Those numerous 'Private Parties', that are largely unannounced until the walls pop up, are 'very' inconvenient to the on site hotel guests that want to enjoy CityWalk bars/restaurants.

 

[Captain Spaulding]

I am on record: I absolutely hate carrying those things around

Besides, there's beer and water to drink in the theme park! By the time I get to CityWalk, it's time to change things up.

If you put your Beer or mixed drink in the Freestyle you don't have to chug to enter the house if you have a short wait. I used to chug all the time, now I'm too old!
