CityWalk Orlando Updates & Changes General Thread

There was that trademark a little while back for an escape room. Wouldn't be surprised if that is the next addition to CityWalk.

Do you have any idea what the trademark was as it could give an indication for a theme?

Hoping so.

Movies.

It was called "Cinema Escape" or something like that.

There is a possibility of a See No More like show in some capacity. Don't know if in park or citywalk.

As far as restaurants... anyone else think Margaritaville could be next on the chopping block?

Doubtful just because if they were open to getting rid of it, Margaritaville Resort probably would've gladly bought them out in the past two years. M'ville restaurant pulls a crowd even at lunch, still feels like the one place in CW that's a destination onto itself.

I was trying to think of restaurants that are run by a third-party. As far as I know, that's only M'Ville, Hard Rock, and Cowfish.. and I can't see HR or CF going anywhere.

Of course they have the food court area too..

and I believe Universal took over management of CitiWalk Cowfish after the initial service stumbles.

I would love for Margaritaville to get updated if I'm honest...It is a great place

I actually expect the shops down below to be in trouble

Also, what the hell is going on between Hard Rock and Rip Ride Rockit...That's been walled off forever

I did not know that actually.

I've never tried Margaritaville. It's a large area that could allow potentially for an all-new restaurant and a separate all-new shop.

And I didn't even notice the walls..

We like Margaritaville. It's a nice party vibe. I can't imagine anything replacing it that I would like better. And then there's the Plane Bar. We spend many a night, after the parks close, people watching and soaking up the CitiWalk ambiance while enjoying a drink.

With as large as Fossil is, they could easily replace that with two smaller shops, right? Or am I making things up in my head? Lol.

It seems Universal is getting away from non Universal merchandise at CitiWalk. I would guess any of those outside merchandise stores will be phased out, and replaced by food/entertainment or some type of Universal IP themed shops.

I'm not sure they would make more shops or if they would add another 'experience' type restaurant.

And Bubba Gump.

I thought Cowfish Orlando is a franchise location owned by UOR? Same with VooDoo, Universal bought a franchise. Not 100% sure so don’t quote me but there’s a much bigger chance of that being the case than a small chain like Cowfish paying MASSIVE rent to be at CityWalk

You take that back!! Kidding, but not really haha I'm a huge Parrothead and could sit in there or across the way at the Lone Palm Bar all day long!!

Aesthetically, Margaritaville is a great transition from CityWalk to IOA.

Not that it is important probably, I always liked that little detail though.
