CityWalk Expansion

[Andy]

Thanks for the shots Seth!

So is everyone just guessing Nascar and NBA are out or was there some news I missed?

 

[Disneyhead]

Not guessing. But deals are not finalized. And I hear that WWE Hall of Fame is most likely NOT going to happen.

 

[Skubersky]

I've heard that WWE was nixed because they wanted to keep TNA out. But TNA is having some corporate trouble now:

Anyone else feel that calling this an "expansion" is misleading? I mean, you could feed me some schlock about expanding brands or horizons or some cheese like that, but, really, is CW expanding?

.... That's like saying Fantasyland 2.0 isn't MK's biggest "expansion" because you're not actually setting foot outside area previously available in the Magic Kingdom.

We are losing Latin Q, Pastamore, Pastamore Market, Endangered Species, Cigarz, TCBY, Galaxy & Katie's (8 venues).
We are gaining Antojitos, Red Oven, Pranzo, Cowfish, Menchies, Cold Stone, Hot Dog, & Breadbox (8 Venues) plus a rebuilt Starbucks.
To be fair, I'd call it more an upgrade or enhancement than an "expansion," which I think requires a larger footprint and/or and increased number of venues.

 

[UNIrd]

Awesome. That means it should be opening up soon. I'm excited to see the Antojitos menu, although personally I'm not really a fan of Tapas. I end up spending more but eating less.

I still feel CityWalk needs a good pub like Todd English's PUB in Vegas. Also needs a proper sports bar like ESPN Club, but better food/atmosphere. Tada.

I took a photo today of Antojitos.

The doors were open and you could see inside but it was a little dark so I didn't take a photo of the inside.

I got a few pics of CityWalk last night. First up, here's the temporary Universal Store tent that they'e setting up for when the official Universal Store closes for renovation.

And here are some shots of Antojitos:

 

[Andy]

Awesome shots Felipe!!

Here are a few I took today, with one possible change to watch out for

 

[Felipe]

Thanks for the pics, HTF! :thumbs: And very interesting last pic! :look:

 

[Disneyhead]

Why is Fossil included? Hmmmmm.

 

[bobwadd]

Great shots guys, thanks! :wave:

 

[Teebin]

If that sign doesn't look like the lowest bid... I'll bet the FOSSIL sign cost more.

 

[Sideshow Mike]

Fossil is being replaced by Los Pollos Hermanos!:rofl:

 

[Felipe]

I think a tech and media store would be pretty interesting for CityWalk. I wonder if it's in the cards.
