Springfield

[Imdbman]

Double like on this one.  Looks even more like a street than Orlando's!  Way to go Universal!

Moe's windows and doors have actually been installed for awhile now, but just haven't been that noticeable.

Great photos!

Is it safe to assume I'll be able to have a Krusty Burger is March?

 

[Allen The Actor]

It honestly can't open soon enough!

 

[Alexshow.]

With DL out and instead Universal in June, it can't come sooner enough..

 

[William]

I would say that late March is a fair soft opening date for the main food court at the very least. Paving is nearly complete, so it won't be long before the walls will be pushed back alongside the new structures and we can walk on the new "road."

One more time.........lol

Tillman postulated on the podcast that the last major weekend with Springfield walls will be Presidents Day, and it seems like he'll be definitely on mark. I think walls will be either down or pushed straight to the facades by the end of the month, with the food court debuting late next month.

I hope on presidents day weekend they get the street paved and let guests walk down the street not through the special effects stage queue

 

[ItsAtrap]

That's what I heard, Bover. The walls will be pushed back over the PD weekend and then back where they are now for another 2 weeks.

King Toot's façade is moving along nicely, as well as the rest of Springfield. From Westcoaster:

I just went to Universal and took a survey, and the employee leading the survey said that the Springfield food court will likely be open next month, with the Taco Truck, Phineas Q Butterfat's and the Duff Brewery to open probably later in the Spring.  Btw, the top of Cletus' Chicken Shack is coming along with one of the Springfield crosswalks now revealed!  Taco truck's also fully covered and I think it's Phineas Q. Butterfat's that's now being wrapped in housewrap.

It looks like they're already forming walls inside the current set-up so a wall adjustment is probably coming up for this weekend.

Yup, I think you're right about that-  some pavement is already done

Any update on Barney's bowlarama. I know they still have time left. But all buildings are looking like they did in the concept art. Can anyone get pictures of that building?

Good question.  I was really confused myself.  I did see a blank facade to the left of the Police Station where Barney's Bowl-A-Rama is in the concept art, but I'm not sure if that'll still be the Bowl-A-Rama or not.  On the other hand, I love the thematic transition from Springfield to the Wizarding World right behind it as you can see in the second photo.

 

[William]

The building doesn't resemble Barney's Bowlarama whatsoever, but that doesn't necessarily mean the idea was scrapped.

 

[raffman]

Yeah true. It's just that the rest of buildings are instantly recognizable and this one is not. Yet again there is plenty of time. My guess is that since the building has a huge neon sign .it won't be put up until a few weeks before opening .same goes for Aztec theater.

 

[Alexshow.]

That's been my guess since January. Its probably a large Neon piece which is causing that not to be here yet.

Springfield should be open by early to mid March, I'm hearing.
