Universal Orlando Resort Misc Refurbs

[Skold]

The other side of the alley has scrims up, but you can still walk through while they’re working on it, for now.

There is a little doorway in the scrim (at least there was earlier this week), and I looked inside to see just a bunch of scaffolding. Maybe this is for projections for the lagoon show?

There’s a lot of scaffolding on the roofs for sure, so maybe. Maybe more lasers! Yay!

Saw a bunch of important types pointing at everything in the New York alley. One was a safety person, not sure who the rest were. Snapped a couple quick pics.

There's a lot going on in that little alley this year...

Maybe it's just me, but whenever I hear about alleys in New York City all I think of is muggings.

This area by Blue Man Group has been fenced off.

Not sure if this is something old or not, but I don’t recall ever seeing it.

Hmmm that's interesting

Scrims have been taken down from the building next to Mummy’s entrace.

They’ve been down close to a month now. I think for whatever reason it just wasn’t really posted on the forums.

Intriguing. Maybe they finally decided to expand the walkway to BMG to not make it so hidden.

This isn't Globy right? Maybe the set piece in minigolf? It rotates? If they are doing the BG sign maybe its a twofer?

Wish I had a map of the numbers.

Pretty sure it's Bubba Gump. There were some NoC's filed for it last week as well.

Makes sense. That big round sign on the wall was not there today. Maybe getting updated logos. Perhaps a slightly less creepy mascot?

Now you are being overly optimistic.

Not sure if this counts as a refurb but part of Rock it pull chain snapped and hit a guest. So it’s going to be down for a couple of days.

Wait WhAt?! The lift hill chain on RRR snapped??

The lift hill chain luckily their wasn’t a coaster going up at the time

It stopped and was evac'd the day I was there...I wonder if that was the reason

I don't see any news on it though, so that seems kind of fishy

The app says that the ride is down currently but I'm a bit skeptical. But at the same time I wouldn't be surprised if it did happen because Maurer is Maurer.

Knowing Universal's knack for safety, I wonder when they look at replacing RRR
