It's one of those things where I vaguely remember it but because it was so inconsequential, it has left my "necessary" memory bank. LOL
I think that was what the Cinnabon replaced? I remember seeing it, but I don't have a solid memory of its existence. For some reason that corner is a black hole in my mind even today so it feels like it would make sense that it was there to me?

I believe Ocean Trader Market (the shop just outside of IOA Trading Co.) replaced it in 2000.

Surprised it hasn’t been mentioned here, but the entire playlist has been uploaded to music streaming services. Jurassic Calypso seems to be an alternate version though, is it a totally originally track and not based off one from the movies like the version on Youtube?

Wanted to pop back in here because I just had a thought - I wonder if this could be our Summer/early Fall tribute store.

Has anybody heard anything about any possible plans to celebrate this anniversary?
I’ve heard rumblings of plans for CityWalk.. I’d assume IOA would have to get something
25th anniversary overlay of Coconut for CityWalk? Each night themed to a different club/bar.. groove night, city jazz night, Motown, Latin quarter, etc
I'd imagine at the very least we get some sort of IOA-specific apparel at the very least. The Epic Universe shirts are selling well... some genius has to realize they can sell IOA merch lol

I don’t know about next year with the opening of Epic Universe, but I do hope that maybe they can do the IoA tribute as a belated anniversary celebration kinda like what happened in 2022 with its summer tribute store.
This can't be all they're doing to acknowledge this, right?
Spotted a TM this past weekend wearing an IOA 25th lanyard with the retro logo. Couldn't see the opposite side to see if it was just a UOTM-specific lanyard... but at least they're aware of the anniversary lol
I know Universal wants all the focus on Epic... but it wouldn't hurt to at least celebrate IOA's birthday with a quiet merchandise release.

Yeah it's disappointing when you see how Hollywood is celebrating the anniversary of the Studio Tour, wish we would get that kind of love for IoA but it is what it is
IOA's 20th wasn't really acknowledged by Universal in any meaningful way, either.
Baffling they have so little apparent interest. I had hoped the 30th push that USF got (at least in merchandise) represented them turning a corner on this kind of stuff.
