2015 Project?

[Viator]

I'd actauly see this come in for the Citywalk Part 2

Wonka store replacing Nascar Grill

NBA Dining replacement (Mabye ESPNZone-esque?)

Fossil Replacement

New Stage in Citywalk (With a version of Six Towers from Citywalk California)

Those would actauly be mine as it would make sense to have them.

I want another candy shop personally. I have a giant sweet tooth and I usually get a bag of candy in Seuss or production central everytime I go. I can't help myself, as said on the podcast it's easy money

 

[DufflesMcGee]

no, I do not think a candy store will come to city walk, especially one as big as nascar grill. Nascar grill brings in business and is a very popular sport. So is NBA, but that is a project in itself. I wish they keep NBA city but update the menu and bring in some new operational heads to help fix its problems. One problem of NBA however is that the menu is too similar to hardrock cafe and doesnt give citywalk the variety it needs.

Well I don't think we will get a giant candy store that'd just be a colossal waste of space. I think a tiny wonka store inbetween a couple shops would be perfect, anything more would be overkill

Both Hershey and M&M's operate stores in Vegas and Times Square that are destinations filled with tourists. Even M&M World at Florida Mall draws a crowd. Done right, it could be a great addition to CityWalk, and I have a feeling either Hershey or M&M will be doing something like that at the new Disney Springs shopping area, so whichever one signs there, the other will sign with Universal for CityWalk. M&M's has been really big on working with theme parks lately, becoming a huge sponsor for Six Flags and M&M's branded ice cream is the "Official ice cream" of SeaWorld Parks and Entertainment now. I thin they realized that the theme park crowds are their target demographic.

A Six Towers Stage will never get built in our CityWalk. It's used out there for (free) concerts and live broadcasts among things. The concerts here happen in USF, leaving very few opportunities for a stage like that to ever see use.

New Hotel

 

[Viator]

I've come back to give my roadmap on what could and would most likely work for 2015:

Febuary-April: Gardens Of Allah Museum, 5th Hotel starts breaking ground.

May-Augest: Cinematic Spectacular upgrades, Citywalk Phase II

November-December: King Kong opening.

These make sense due to the fact that Universal needs Time to fill up while Kong is being built and it really would work out more or less kinda

like how CityWalk openings for Phase I began in May and its supposed to wrap up sometime around Augest. And they also would want to spread out

the Celebration of 25 years apart from Eachother and with Halloween Horror nights.. 3 words and that's all i'll say bout it. Terra Queen

Returns...

 

[Nick]

A 25th anniversary version of CineSpec would be welcomed. It's still celebrating Uni's 100th from a few years ago.

 

[Cole]

Would the terra queen return in 2030 due to her sacrifice in 2005?

 

[Thatguyoverwhere]

One thing I'd love to see in 2015 is a new nighttime show at Islands of Adventure- I could imagine exactly what it'd be like. Unfortunately, though, I doubt it will happen any time soon, if ever.

So, I posted the article in the UOR Resort Expansion thread, but Tom Williams (president of the resort) has said they know USF's 25th is next year and are planning something special.

Sounds promising Skip:thumbs: Now over to the UOR Resort Expansion thread :bolt:

Things may have shifted here a bit.

All for the best...but shifted none the less.

timeframe wise or changes wise?

Considering the thread is about timeframe...that.

So something else coming in 2015 or Kong in 2016 and minor stuff in '15?

 

[kingcooger]

Things may have shifted here a bit.

All for the best...but shifted none the less.

The possibilities as I see them:

1. Kong is being pushed back to later in the year (it was originally stated as a Summer opening) to make sure the ride is fully operational right out of the gate.
2. Kong is being pushed up in 2015.
3. Kong is being pushed to 2016 with Kidzone or JP taking the 2015 spot.

The problem is determining what 'All for the best' means. Each person will obviously have a different definition of what is best. While I want a Kong ride badly, I do not want it to be glitchy/buggy and I think Universal may be of the same mind given what is going on with EFG. As to whether that means they are pushing it back a year or to the end of 2015, I have no idea.

 

[UK-Trigg]

Maybe Star Trek is coming into play or there is also that Disaster rumour :shrug:

hmm interesting, If kong is pushed back to 2016 I won't be too bummed. I'm perfectly satisfied with diagon for atleast 2 years
