Strange few hours

Theoretically, say they do actually get rid of the NBC Sports name altogether down the line now that the channel is done. I assume it would just change to “Peacock Sports”, right?

Just cause the channel is gone doesn’t mean they don’t have sports on NBC, right? Which is where the logo is used.

I’m just saying theoretically if they were to rebrand, especially since sports are such a big part of Peacock.

Finally, I can get a burger and fries in CityWalk

I'm just want something really quick and really easy...

The channel name is stylized as NBCSN, so this was always branded to the overall umbrella of sports across their networks and not to the channel.

I get that 100%. I'm just saying I still wouldn't be surprised one bit if they decided to rebrand, especially with how hard they're pushing Peacock.

IMO, its a shame that Hot Dog Hall of Fame never caught on more; it was a solid spot that just had a rough location and was a little higher on prices than ideal.

Bolded my biggest factor. I have a hard time justifying paying more than $5 for a Hot Dog (unless it's a footlong). For me a hot dog is a snack and I need at least 2 to make it a meal. It's just kind of a strange mental block with me like I won't pay over $20 for pasta either just in terms of the "I can make this easily at home" type of thing..

If the hot dogs on the menu were even like $6 or $7 then probably I'd give it a go more often but at $9 or $10 a hot dog (and upwards of $20 if I get 2 for a full meal) I can spend that on something better elsewhere.

New Studio Store will have Nintendo stuff, so now that wins

Hey y'all, been doing some small spring cleaning here:

Universal Legacy Store has a new thread.

We've merged and updated the new Universal Studios Store thread.

Updated the name of this thread to highly discussion on changes and updates to CityWalk in a general sense, once we have solid information we will spin that off into a new thread.

Fusion Bistro Sushi & Sake..has closed.

 

[WAJAS]

I always liked this place. Away from the crowds and good food, but I guess the former is why this is happening.

I've been to the parks a zillion times. I never noticed this place.

Me neither. I thought this was the USH thread at first.

 

[GAcoaster]

I wonder if UC has something planned for there already or if this was out of the blue? I assume that was a contractor and not run by Universal...

This place was doomed the moment they closed Cigars.

I remember Cigars. First place my brother and i stopped at in CitiWalk during my first trip to Universal in spring 2004.
