Parking Garage "Hub" Construction

[TubaGeek]

So where the two parking garages meet, there's been some construction to the right of the security checkpoint.
It seems to involve a large monitor, speakers, some American Express ads, and booth windows.
Anyone know what we're looking at here?

I would guess they are renewing their push for their Universal AmEx cards

If that's all it is, that's a super invasive ad... but I guess Uni can do what they want with their space.

At least the super invasive ad is outside of the parks. They should move the Timeshare OPCs there too. :thumbs:

Huge Jumbotron as part of it.

In a way, I like it. It reminds me of the old days at universal that I'm still nostalgic about.

Ahh good times, when folks used to yell at you to get a credit card on your way to the parks...such a warm welcome

God, I hope not. I mean, obviously advertisers help to pay for new experiences at the parks, but I don't much feel like being accosted.

Yeah, I saw it yesterday. There was a family of 4 standing in front of it and a spaceship flew over them and beamed one of the kids up and then flew off. It is pretty cool.

As I walked in around 9:30 this morning, the screen was active, but ignored by the crowds rushing in. There were reps at tables ready to make their pitch, but they respectfully kept to themselves unless approached.
