The Condition of City Walk

[Cecilia]

AmusementPics posted this photo and stated, "The round screen on the Coke bottle has been covered up." Does anyone know if this is permanent?

Man, that's disappointing, but not surprising. I can't remember the last time I watched it functioning correctly.

Its done...

While it was 'cool baby' from a distance, I will never forget how amazed I was at how loud the cooling system inside was... to the point of obnoxious. That said. The solution is equally pathetic. Is there no LED/LCD tech available to match the brightness without dimming London?

Hopefully they're working on it. I noticed it down when I was there two weeks ago and it kinda took away some of the liveliness of the area. They also weren't playing just pop music but also were playing some of the park themes in the area.

Well their are LED curtain screens they could use..much more efficient and less noisome...

Well that could mean they have switched over to a generic audio file and if your a fan of the structure that is no good.

AmusementPics posted this pic of one of the CityWalk tower things under refurb. Are they adding a lighting effect a la the Cineplex?

Nothing new to do with the physical nature of CityWalk, but this YouTube video really made me crack a smile. To see just some sort of entertainment in CityWalk in the middle of the day is truly a testament of how Uni is spreading that Potter wealth all over the resort. It's just a small thing that adds up to making a good resort a better resort! I'm probably stretching it here, but hey, it made me like Uni even more.

^ Lol! That's cute! I actually saw some kids hula-hooping yesterday in front of Bubba Gumps as I was leaving City Walk.

Universal is transforming right in front of our eyes. Things have changed so much since my last visit in 2008.

Look at those new LED lights and LED screen on the stage :drool5:

A large guitar has been added to the Hard Rock Cafe facade (from @JustMikeyHRC):

 

[JungleSkip]

That's...umm...interesting.

A crimson guitar against a warm red/coral colored building. That is such a design foul.

 

[TheMackMachine]

I guessing the guitar is replacing the pink Cadillac. Or is it getting a refurb?

 

[Bryan]

I miss the car

 

[Hatetofly]

Can't see the picture :shrug:

 

[BJCool]

^Here it is :thumbs:

It does seem like it was just thrown on there, like it wasn't part of a cohesive design scheme. :shrug:

 

[Octobers Fade]

The guitar standing straight up just seems wrong.
