Dec 12th Media Event Predictions

[JungleSkip]

Where on property is this announcement being held? Is there a little stage?

It's inside Rising Star from the looks of it.

Hope its more but I only heard that they were announcing info about 5 new citywalk establishments ...hoping theres park info too

 

[martymcflyy85]

Not trying to be a debbie downer, but I'm not gonna set myself up for disappointment. I'm only expecting the Citiwalk stuff. Been burnt too many times by the hype train before.

Kudos to the PR team. There is usually a leak of some sort before these things.

8 new establishments, though I've been told that includes Red Oven.

So, do the local news stations even show up for these announcements, or is it just the theme park websites? Will Skubersky be there?

I'm sure he said on another thread he wouldn't be attending as he was out of town this week.

 

[JokerMan0925]

Nevermind. Wrong site posted.

 

[StarTrekGeek]

I think they will announce:
*Diagon Alley's Rides/Attractions
*2014 campaign
*CityWalk expansion
*MAYBE: Jurassic Park additions (kinda doubt it though)

 

[PourJudgment]

Lack of leaks and lack of "media" attendees, make me think this will be a lack of reveals. Still hopeful!

It would be great if they were. I mean its no headline grabber like Transformers breaks down for a couple hours, but it would be nice to see.

 

[ThemeParks4Life]

The site that shall not be named has the 8 new venues: Red Oven, Antojitos, Hot Dog Hall of Fame, Cowfish, an Italian Pastamore replacement, Bread Box, Menchies, and Coldstone, plus a new facade for the Universal Store and Starbucks's new location

 

[martymcflyy85]

Hopefully this will mean more choices for their food plan.

 

[Hockeyman55]

Im hoping we get an announcement for the all new Bill Paxton signature drink ound:

 

[PourJudgment]

Potter! Yes!

Awesome news. Like someone else said.. food porn galore.

 

[grizzlybarely]

Can I just say, I love that half of these new restaurants are original ideas. Not to mention the fact that they are all unique offerings.

EDIT: So the Italian restaurant is called Pranzo? Why didn't it give the name in the press release?
