There will most likely be a "media" preview. Legitimate media (local news stations) first, then the online guys will get their shot.

The Legitimate Media portion will be short. They will get the 30 shots they need and the 3 question interview. Done.

The online guys portion will be much longer. They each need at least 257 shots of the model, and a rambling 15 question interview.

That said, I won't be watching the Legitimate Media stuff nor the online guys interviews. But I will delight in the 2742 cumulative shots from all the online guys.

I wonder if they plan on adding a Mario/Nintendo figure outside? Would imagine they want to prioritize this is "the" Nintendo park.

Mario and Donkey Kong being on the massive TV screen above the store will probably do more than enough. Not to mention the whole Nintendo World store a few shops away.

Had a feeling-- Bio is posting new aerials!

Shoutout to Hard Rock for doing the only CityWalk 25th anniversary related thing- repainting to look like they did when they opened!

The screens don't work Ironic for a screen heavy park.

Epic fail! Didn't see anyone mention it here but did anyone else notice the sign was damaged?



They're still putting the finishing to the store front including merch displays!

And it's the exact same letter too.

Of course! Not surprised, I'm not on Twitter so not really aware of the discussions there. I'm here in person so I only noticed it now.

Wonder if it happened when they were installed the screens? I'm assuming it'll be fixed before opening.

Like dropping the wedding cake before the reception on a $90 million wedding.

Might be late on this again but good news! The sign's all fixed up and they even colored up the Universal name so it wouldn't be the same gold background color. Looks great!



The screen's also just about synced and working. There was some mismatch on one of the panels and a small green strip was visible at times during the Celestial Park footage but it's almost there.



The queue is being set up too. We're super close now!! There's more of the stanchions tucked near the window waiting to be placed.



They also added some more signage behind the shirts with the land names since I was here Friday.



All in all it looks incredible in person and I can't wait until we're able to get inside!

EDIT: just saw the other thread lol. Oh well.

Holy moley you ain’t kidding. This page alone in this thread is just 257 shots of the portal entrance…
