Universal's Epic Universe Construction Thread

I think a moving walkway is a bit unnecessary for a parking lot that (if everything goes well) will eventually get replaced by something else in the future.

However, I'm really hoping they add some benches and shade structures somewhere in between the palm trees. Those walks on asphalt at the Disney parks during the summer is brutal.

YES to benches and shade!!!

At least the original Universal Studios Florida parking lot had trams for the near decade it was used before switching to the garages.

This new lot does appear to be less sprawling at least, but the back of it will still be a bit of a hike, so at very least some benches would help.

When WDW took away trams I just happened to have had a minor back injury and I have never noticed when benches weren’t available more in my life. It wasn’t so bad at first when capacity was severely limited at the WDW parks, so only the closest lots were in use, but as time went on, lots for Animal Kingdom and Magic Kingdom became unrealistic for me as I couldn’t walk that far without sitting breaks.
