A few little updates from the park today for y'allllllllllllllllllllll
Workers at Super Silly Fun Land
BEHIND THE WALLS! Help Santas Little Helper!
Wild and Willy!
Eye Carumba!
And then just a little side note. They have moved Donkey over towards New York Street. In place of Donkeys old spot? DRUMROLL PLEASE! ...........................................................STROLLER PARKING! WOOOOO!
I also want to point out the tap dancing construction workers behind Donkey. I dunno if they have been around for awhile, but they're new to me!

I can work with that
And great pictures BlueJester! The games REALLY give the Simpsons area some life.
Based on the Universal Plaza rendering, it should be getting a refurb when they'll probably sort out this mess and fix the aesthetic of the entrance/queue right before Potter opens (They have to install "Palm Tree Walk" sometime).

So it looks pretty much set that FFB will open next year. It hasn't moved at all, and even if they start fast tracking it now, I agree that it looks more like a 2015 addition. This summer is gonna be a nightmare though....
Regarding this talk about having FFB being two stories, that will be great for capacity. I just won't appreciate having a two-story Moe's or Krusty Burger though as it's not accurate to the show. I hope it's just the seating area that will be two floors.
No seating on first floor. All seating on second floor. Again, this is Hollywood and we have space limitations. I think this is a great idea. It almost matches my idea of having a restaurant on top of the castle theater with a window view of the valley. I thought a great place to have a dining venue would have been overlooking the Universal City sign which faces the valley. But I guess Springfield will have to do. I look forward to the photo ops from a second level.
Funny how USH the most gorgeous views out of any theme park and they don't take advantage of it lol.
We have heard that walls have already come down for a few of the carnival games. However, games aren't open yet.

Does anybody remember how long the carnival games opened in Orlando in comparison to when their FFB opened?
Because unless the Three Broomsticks rumor is indeed correct (and it's extremely likely), this would have construction crews jumping the fences immediately. Phase 1, right now, is pretty much near complete.

I'm going to be a little more optimistic and say it'll be opened up about a year from right now in time for spring break crowds, only if the foundation is poured in the next month or two. I think the carnival games being finished might signal the start of the food court's construction.
It's sad to see that this has been pushed back, as the last I heard of this it was supposed to be opened sometime in 2014 at the latest.
