CityWalk Orlando Updates & Changes General Thread

[Imperius]

I'm not expecting anything more detailed than the tribute stores, I could see this opening for summer.

The Escape Game in Orlando has some fantastic rooms which Universal better beat.

Minions could be fun if you wanted to make something like The Escape Game's playground escape

For sure - Playground is my personal favorite game at TEG Orlando.

Yes. I'm cautiously optimistic.

Great addition to City Walk, fun activity for adults and families at night.

Hope they keep the classic movie / new movie pairing going. Hitchcock next, hopefully.

It would be funny if this where to be apartments and not escape rooms, Universal Studios variation of Disney's Storyliving, Epicliving.

Oh, man, I would kill for a Hitchcock escape room.

I hope the Back to the Future version stays around for a long time because it will be a while before I will be able to go back to Florida again. And I want to show my family SOMETHING Back to the Future related at Universal. They keep hearing me talk about how awesome the ride was.

Any visible construction progress on the escape rooms?

Any dinosaurs or flux capacitors installed, ha.

Are we thinking the Escape Rooms would be this year? I feel there isn’t much discussion around this. I’m hyped for these.

Haven't seen any construction updates since the rumor was put out there.

Maybe the usual park update reporters forgot about it - since it's sort of in a low traffic area of City Walk, ha.

Nothing visually has changed outside. And since we can’t see what is happening inside there isn’t much to say.

The latest permits did say phase 2 construction was starting though, so interior work is happening.

Well I'm finally able to get back down in September - has there been any rumors of the Legacy store going away any time soon? I really want to see that.

I doubt it as they just added a really cool model from Kongfrontation.

Yup.

Sometimes I forget how ambitious the Kong ride was

look at that dagum model, that was all done practically and almost in full scale in real life

Finally finishing up.

Somehow I completely missed this was happening - where have the resort shuttles been dropping off guests while this is being done?

Just underneath the security hub or all the way in the back for Endless resorts. The new shelters are already being used, so no need to worry about walking all the way to the back. Thankfully this project seems to be wrapping up as it should have been done pre-Endless Summer

 

[therock]

Yup.

This is the kind of stuff I want them to build on a ride again. People assume when we ask for practical attractions that we mean animatronics only. It doesn't even have to be that. Just give us full scale sets like this with explosions and stuff.

Now that the summer tribute store has opened featuring Back to the Future, ET, and Jaws (along with small references to other USF classics), I wonder how thematically it might compare to the rumored Escape Rooms, especially for the highly rumored Back to the Future themed room.

I'm interested to see when these Escape Rooms actually open. The tribute store looks cool but I hope the rooms are a little more themed than the store.
