Wasn't aware Cartooniversal was behind walls already, when did that happen??? I really hope they make everything cohesive.

Um.... who said Cartooniversal was behind walls?... I was at the park earlier today for about 3-4 hours and I can assure you, Cartooniversal was quite operational like the 2nd Deathstar... Fully stocked with merchandise, doors wide open.. 
I didn't get a pic of it, but I did happen to notice that the Studio Store entrance closest to "NOT HoH" that is behind walls, was decorated for the holidays. So it seems like those walls WILL be coming down in the very near future otherwise, I doubt they'd decorate it.

Interested to see what comes of that space, it's gotta be the oldest building on the upper lot at the current moment and sticks out like a sore thumb to the point of almost being nostalgic. It's one of those last pieces from a time where it was less of a theme park, more of a show/exhibit area connected to the tour attraction.
Anyways, obviously it can't be expanded since next to it is the employee gate and Shrek's emergency exits, so I guess it'll just be another shop, with better themeing. Yay! Just what Universal needs, even more retail. That'll keep all the summer Potter tourists off the streets.

WW ain't goin anywhere anytime soon, so yeah, it's going to be contained within that small building.
^I find it quite funny that several years ago, we saw the Evolution plan back then (Forget the original name of the plan) and we were upset that half the backlit was getting removed for condos. Glad that couldn't be any farther from the truth!

Water World seems like a prime location for Nintendo. Especially now that some other ride is rumored to take up the stage 28 plot.
I think you could also count other areas like the CSI Soundstages as equal probabilitys for this..
We also had to take into fact that WW got a major re-tooling over last year with Action Horizon (hopefully, didn't botch that) still being a prominent figure in the park with possibly being apart of the SES Overhaul.

The rumored Mario Kart ride's show building alone will dwarf the space occupied by WW, so I think it'll probably go to the LL as well.

From Inside Universal's Twitter:
Really impressed on how the front entrance and the rest of the park is turning out. While it may not have as much attractions I think USH as a whole has USF beat theming wise.

"USH has USF beat theming wise"?... Those are fightin' words Zero56
Anyway, I went up to the park Sunday night for a bit and got a pic of the Studio Store entrance that I mentioned in my previous post above. If you look closely, you can see the interior still seems to be pretty gutted, but what is interesting is that they still decorated this entrance for the holidays even though it is behind walls. Seems kinda pointless unless these walls are going to be coming down very soon.

Surprised no one else brought this up earlier, but this is from Screamscape:
What do you guys think? Remember those Walking Dead rumors brought up a while back in the thread?
I agree. That sounds like a random fan boy rumor that was spun out of speculation from our forums.
Screamscape also thought Universal Plaza would feature a blatant identical copy of the Carthay Circle Theatre...lol
