TODAY Cafe

The reaction to this on Facebook has proved to me that people will never like what Universal does regardless of what they do

They add a new dark ride, people say add a coaster...They add a coaster, people say add a dark ride
They refurbish an ugly cafe...people get oddly butthurt because it's replaced by the Today show...The most happy go lucky news show on TV

I can't wait to see how they complain about the new park honestly, it's entertaining

The previous cafe was ugly? I thought it looked good

The old cafe was actually pretty good. We ate breakfast there one morning I think. But a refresh is always welcome. I just wonder if it will throw off the Old Hollywood look of the street since it’s the first thing you come upon rounding that corner.

The Today Cafe may well be the most advertised 'small' theme park quick service food location ever. From the many sweep stake Orlando Universal vacation ads I've been seeing on the NBC Today Show, it almost has new ride attraction status. They are really getting blood out of a stone here, squeezing it for every ounce......Marketing for Tangled bathrooms has finally met it's marketing match. ......Universal may actually end up selling some vacation packages with this marketing lead, to the astonishment of us all.

I don’t understand why Universal won’t make the proposed MIB Restaurant that was supposed to be built next to the ride. The park could have an additional restaurant, as the other ones often get overcrowded/lines out the door.

Anyone have anymore info about that proposal? Was it even real?

Was it real? Yes.

It didn't get built because the recession hit, which slowed all investments in the park. It won't get built now because it's a dated IP and the expansion pad for it earmarked for other things.

Hell I’d bet the ride itself is earmarked for other things in the next 10 years

Which recession? Also, a lot of people, including myself and my friends, aren’t really into the newer IPs. I guess I’m an old soul.

That would be awful. Enough attractions have been slaughtered for downgraded replacements. Also, a new MIB movie is coming out, and, wouldn’t it be great to market the new film somehow?

Universal isn’t really interested in marketing other people’s films, generally

Except Warner Bros’ The Wizarding World and Disney’s Marvel Comics. Why can’t Universal cater to all thrill seekers? I feel like I’m not being treated fair.
Also, themed attractions are meant to last forever.

Wait... what?

So much to unpack there

Sir this is a Wendy's.

Forgot on mentioning in regards to TODAY Cafe, and the menu looks great.

Wait... what?

They market the crap out of everything that I’m not interested in, and, it makes me depressed...

Indeed

Sir this is a Wendy's.

Can I order French fries?

They absolutely are not. They all have some sort of lifespan, it's just a matter of whether or not the parks decide to maintain/update the attractions. Disaster was allegedly falling apart before it was replaced.

"Recession" wasn't the right word on my part. I was referring to when tourism tanked (2001-2008). Universal was lucky to get through that period without shuttering.

Not to sound disrespectfully flippant, but that's a you problem. Not a Universal problem.
