Universal Orlando Resort Misc Refurbs

It's park-wide IT upgrades, most likely.

I think that's exactly what it is considering the massive amounts of utility work behind the scenes.

Wifi will happen at some point soon, I'm sure.

When you're competitor rolls out WiFi in their flag ship park, you respond to that, and the most logical way to respond to that is roll it out resort wide for yours.

Well, all of WDW will probably have it by the end of the year. Necessary for NextGen

I just read they were shooting for 2013 in all parks and DTD

So Trowbridge is listed under one of the patents but it's dated 8/2010. Does that mean its an old patent from when he was with Universal or is his name just associated with an original patent. I will be the first to admit this patent stuff loses me on the first turn.

The following is from @OrlandoInformer


A little snack cart has taken up residence in front of the bridge from LC to JP.

Survey kiosks are now in this spot at Port of Entry.

Work is ongoing at this Lost Continent shop.

Exterior work of some sort is going on at one of the courtyards at Portofino Bay.

The locomotive from BTTF is now behind MIB next to the pyro bunker.

That makes sense as the Train Tracks look just about finished in the Central Park World Expo area. Guessing it will be making its move there any day now.

Train and Delorean in their new home!

 

[Cecilia]

I lovelovelove their new placement. I'm not big on photo-ops, but I'll be sure to grab a picture next month when I finally get to return.

Orlando Rocks has taken a look at the new home of the famous BTTF vehicles. It's great that their new placement in the park is much more prominent than the deadzone formerly known as Sound Stage 44.

from what i understand the DeLorean is the actual DeLorean from the scene where it was being pushed along the tracks. is this true? what about the train?

I don't know. I saw a picture of them filming that scene but they were using scale models.
