CityWalk Hollywood General Discussion

[Allia]

I wonder why AMC still hasn't brought "Fork and Screen" to this theater.

Universal is starting to hire for Margaritaville. According to USHjobs.com, training will being Januray/February 2017. Maybe late February/early March soft open?

On a related note, anyone know of any updates for VooDoo Donuts?

A few weeks ago, they were filming something on CityWalk and using VooDoo for a Dressing Room/Green Room. Didn't look like any construction had been done. I think they're doing Menchie's first, then VooDoo.

Looks like construction walls are down at Universal Cinema:

And up at Voodoo Doughnuts:

Seeing as Downtown Disney has a Rainforest Cafe, I'd find that highly unlikely.

The RFC at DTD is not operated or owned by Disney. Unless they have some bonding contract to Disney, there's no reason they can't open another one at CityWalk, though I also think the food is meh, the environment is what people go for.

Yup, it's the same with me. I've never had too much interest for the food itself, but would eat there just to be able to see everything.

Hmm, don't know. But I believe there was already smaller barriers there, right? (By the way, when inserting a tweet or Youtube video on the forums, all you need to do is copy and paste its like )

 

[ush.hacker]

I copied and pasted it I swear. It was a glitch....

I was just down at Disneyland today and saw they are ripping out the old House of Blues building to put in a bowling alley. City Walk takes one out and Downtown Disney adds one. Go figure.

 

[SofaKing381222]

Anyone know why the barriers?

 

[chris.g]

Had to just say - the new Universal Cinemas are a much welcomed upgrade - so worth the price I paid, comfortable and a true theatre experience. Might just be my new favorite theatre.

Yeah! It's called "Splitsville," I believe. According to the DisneyDish Podcast with Jim Hill, it is one of the best restaurants at Disney Springs! (They got their data from guest surveys sent out to TP readers) I'm excited to try it for myself! 

Anyone know why the barriers?

Probably just a general safety precaution. At the Disneyland Resort, almost all employee/service gates have poles that rise out of the ground, acting as a barrier.

And finally, I know right! Seats are so comfy!! 

 

[SnideRemarksDept]

Saw something beautiful as I was leaving Universal Cinemas! I am so excited for this to open!

The clock at the 5 O'clock Somewhere Bar is weird. Every few minutes, it tries to tick forward, struggles for a few seconds, gets as far as 5:03, and then settles back to 5:00 on the dot. I understand the intention, but the green color of the lime just makes it look spooky/haunted.

The last one is around the back, towards iFly. I will probably spend all of my time at this restaurant.

Anyone know why the barriers?

To stop any possibly of a truck/car making its way onto the CityWalk floor. Near the Universal Studios Hollywood fountain they have placed planters and increased security. They are really upping there game in terms of safety to its guests.

From RyanThemePark, it seems that with the recent survey coming out that pretty much confirms the nighttime Hogwarts show; he was also asked about if he'd be interested to see these restaurants potentially come to Citywalk..




It seems they are interested to bring of some of the Orlando concepts to Hollywood (and while I'm not going to say anything else, the interest has peaked for me in the future of Citywalk)..

 

[foodstampsFTW]

I'd be happy with any of those coming to citywalk. I'd be most excited for toothsome though

 

[HereWeGo]

Where do you think they would fit those in? Which stores/ restaurants would bite the dust to make room?

 

[Ryan]

Grill/Brew would be a perfect fit for Johnny Rockets, Toothsome can go in Karl Strauss or possibly Tony Roma's linked to former Infusion. Cowfish could go in many places. I think with CityWalk, Universal is very interested in aligning both coasts somewhat together in main dining options.
