NBC Media Center

Past tense?

Sharp of you to catch that. No one else did! :sneak:

When Teebin looks into his crystal ball, that's when Teebin knows all.

My biggest fear is that this will turn out to be like the CBS Research Center in the Las Vegas MGM Grand. NBC does something similar in the hallway between Paris and Bally's but not with an official sign or anything. It's where they bring in people to watch some crappy show and then ask them how much they liked the crappy show. If this is what they think is adding a "major attraction", they are horribly incorrect!

I actually like who nicely landscaped the area is and the building looks pretty nice... I just don't really care for the giant NBC peacock logo in the middle of the park.

But seeing as it's there, i'd actually rather the Garden of Allah sign to go. It clashes with everything a bit too much now imo.

No one ever said this would be a major attraction, not even Universal is talking about it yet.

Asking people to watch pilot episodes has been going on for a long time at Uni if I'm correct. Not sure where that is and if that location could become something else if this would be the replacement of that.

Universal has said zip about this place..It probably wont even be on the park map..

I'm thinking it's going to be much like the old Preview Center, which is now the Film Vault store, but fancier..

Even if it is just a replacement for the Preview Center, actually having it be branded and a nice exterior goes a long way to them getting participants. There was something off putting about being asked to do something for money and then being taken into a back alley.

That's just real big-city immersion!

I mean honestly, whatever it is, they did a nice job landscaping it. Visually appealing to look at.

There's very prominent signage though... People are naturally going to try and go in.

Someone might want to fix the title of the thread. NBC not NBA..

Its a lot easier to get people to take surveys and demo products if they come to you unknowingly. One of the only times I've been part of a focus groups was because I walked into someplace without knowing what it was, heard I could get some money for 15 minutes of pushing buttons. Figured I walked in there on my own accord and asked what it was all about, I kind of owed it to them at that point.

Could present a problem if they're looking for specific demos. Don't want a bunch of curious young midwesterners showing up when you're looking for older New Yorkers.

Just seeing the pics now. They did a great job shoehorning this in. Is it open to guests already?

You might want to nix that idea, unless you are quietly invited in by a TM.

So it won't be a guest accessible area? Lame.

 

[ThemeParks4Life]

This is possibly the biggest WTF project Universal has ever done

Agreed, and glad I'm not the only one who appreciates the landscaping effort... @Drew @BriMan

It's just a new preview center. Unfortunate.
