Toothsome Chocolate Emporium

I am still baffled at why I have never met or communicated with anyone involved with these Citywalk projects. I don't understand how these and the hotels are handled.

Does anyone, ANYONE here secretly know how, who, where these are designed, managed and contracted?

Double Post: But here is something else odd I noticed:

 

[BJCool]

The entrance stair rail walls the lampposts sit on are no longer red. They've been painted white. Seen in the second half of this video...

I talked with the show designer back in Feb. I don't recall his name, but he is with UC.

I know an engineer who has been involved in several Universal projects, including Toothsomes. He told me that Universal hired an architecture firm as the prime on Toothsomes and his company was hired as a sub. Other projects have been contracted in different ways, but he says architect as prime seems to be Universal's preferred method currently.

With UC? Wow, there must be divisions or something like that? It seems reasonable they leave it to outside firms to design and answer to MW. I can't hold half of what they are up to in my brain. How does MW do it?

So glad those steps are no longer red.

 

[Galaxy Defender]

I will be down there next week. I am putting them on notice they have one week to open.

I'm assuming UC = Universal Creative, but I can't come up with what MW means.

Regardless, this guy is employed by a consulting engineering company. The engineering consulting company has a contract as a subconsultant to the prime consultant (an architect) who has a contract with Universal. Universal came up with the concept and hired the prime consultant to turn it into reality. There are a lot of components that go into designing buildings and structures that the general public forgets about—HVAC design, electrical design, kitchen ventilation design, lighting design, structural engineering, permitting—that Universal probably does not have full-time staff to complete. But thankfully there is someone somewhere who is able to a wind load analysis of Toothsome's smoke stacks to assure that they won't fall over next time a hurricane passes over central Florida.

I think they mean MW is an abbreviation of Mark Woodbury, President of Universal Creative.

hey kids = re: temporary sign = remember there's a nice large square hole behind the current sign that is waiting for something

 

[ThreePack Shagur]

Yep. Temp sign. In ConvolutedFrippery's up close photos, you can see where the two pieces of plywood were butted together.

As for who handles these projects, I don't know either.

I do know graphics/signage is handled by the same team as the parks.
