I only know who Lucy is because of the Lucy convention goers Cuba Gooding Jr runs into in Rat Race http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rat_Race_(film)

Was never a fan of Lucy but I did see the appeal. It seems we are being slowly weened off of the classic attractions though. If Nintendo is taking over kid zone (rumored) there goes ET and horror make up show needs a re work or it's being taken out as well. Do I want this to happen? No but in the name of progress I can suck it up. Bring on the merch.
Production Central will be more or less the same still--just a minor facelift of the existing building and some changes inside.

Yes. And probably a good amount of foreigners.
And creeps...

E.T. isn't going anywhere. When KidZone finally goes down to start Nintendo work, E.T. is going to likely get a refurb and a new entrance to make it part of the Hollywood section of the park.
Man Spieldberg just won't let it die but hey I won't complain. It could use a nice refurb and such but this is news to me. Was this mentioned in the other threads because I didn't see it.
Really hope they make it part of hollywood. Besides T2 theres nothing else really there. That reroute would be perfect
If they did the new entrance would have to replace the Garden of Allah restaurant. Having it directly on the the main Hollywood block would involve rerouting the parade's backstage route as the walkway to the show building would have to go over a current road.
Anyways... :focus:

I wonder if this could be replacing Lucy? Seems like the perfect space. Character meet & greet where the displays are and then the giftshop.

Hello Kitty had its very first convention in the US just last year and it was a mega success; the attendance numbers far exceeded expectations.
I wonder if Universal will be allowed to create a few unique Hello Kitty drinks. I searched strawberry milk and happened on this train wreck. Asians are freakin bonkers...
Strawberry milkshakes and pink soft serve ice cream are two things that might be taken advantage of with unique packaging.
(please know that I loath the franchise and I am only being pragmatic)

I think a lot of people are missing the fact that this is aimed at a demographic that is more or less ignored at the Studios. The Disney Princess crowd has little incentive to buy any of the existing merch. This could capture some of that money when their brothers and families drag them to UOR.
Yea, it's not for us, but I assume UOR will make it look nice and it'll fill a need.

Oh no.. I think Universal got the wrong message as to what we wanted from USJ. IT'S SPACE FANTASY.
