Also I must commend Universal on their clean up crew. As I'm posting this update most of the damage I took pictures of is already gone or being removed.
And that's why I wasn't considering it major at all.

Hmm... a small example of why I offered last July that 18 months was the absolute latest that something could open. The 18 month max came from within UC. Imagine if this had happened 5 months ago... just imagine it. How is the gringotts partial siding holding up?
Is there any significant damage in Islands of Adventure?
Seems the extent of the damage was in the Studios. Thanks for all of the pictures! :thumbs:I never checked so I have no idea.
IOA was just a bit messy from all the leaves and small branches. The only significant things were that netting for the Hulk was all torn up and wrapped around the pole and the new tree by the new ticket kiosks fell over.

The Rockit banner is missing... High winds tore it apart yesterday.
Definitely, I wonder if the banner is going to be a different design or are they going to keep the design like the one that got torn in the storm.
It may remain the same at this point, as they have bigger fish to fry. A few here remember that that the original banner was ripped to shreds within weeks or a month after the grand opening by a similar storm. As I recall... that took about a month or two to replace.
I remember that! But I don't remember it being open yet, but I could be wrong. Wasn't it a tornado that tore it off?

Edit: I found it! This is where the first picture of Rockit post tornado was shown, funny read.
