CityWalk Orlando Updates & Changes General Thread

[AlexanderMBush]

I agree that it can be improved. Take out all non-Universal retail and replace with more activities.. for kids and adults. Bowling alley (the night club-style kind with music, lights, projectors, etc.) Change AMC to iPic style theater.. more restaurants

Personally speaking when it comes to the AMC, I expect that in the next few years that it'll get changes that makes it more like what Hollywood has.

Is Hollywood's a dine in?

They converted our local AMC in Ft. Lauderdale to a dine-in about 2 years ago and we f'n love it.

Hollywood's in the process of putting new director level padded leather seats in their theaters. That will cut down the seating capacity since the seats are significantly larger, but they look very very comfortable.

They also redid the lobby (and other holding rooms outside the theaters), added Christie projectors to all the theaters and upgraded the sound design to be using Dolby Atmos.

They invested a lot into upgrading everything about the theater, as they also renamed it to the Universal Cinemas branding..

Sounds like they did a Dolby upgrade to their auditoriums. I have a Dolby screen at my local AMC and it's amazing.

First post here...:wave:

Is there any expandable land currently in CW? I would love bowling, lazer tag, ropes course, more dining options, etc...even if most of the current retail is booted, would there be space for some of these larger entertainment venues? There's just so many "great" ideas in the survey, they could fill CW 2.0, 3.0 and beyond.

Welcome to OU. :thumbsup:.....There's probably going to be another City Walk type venue, either at Wet & Wild site or the new park on the Lockheed property. Plenty of opportunity to implement some of those survey concepts.

I'm totally down for Bubba Gump getting the axe for something better.

I wouldn't be surprised if Universal's AMC got upgraded with recliners because it's the less popular of the two AMCs in Orlando. My nearby AMC recently upgraded to them and they are absolutely amazing.

But - but the "creepy shrimp" would go away?

No way, they have the best garlic bread. Plus they're one of only like two restaurants that have Pepsi products.

Yes, our local AMC has upgraded as well. I actually like their setup better than the upgraded UA/Regal one in my area. The loveseat feature (foldup armrest between two adjoining seats) is very cool

Welcome!
A ropes course would be tons of fun...Maybe where the splash pad is? I also wouldn't mind an escape room

Well there are 4 AMC movie theatres in the immediate Orlando Area. West Oaks surely being the least popular. By technical terms citywalk is the only AMC in "Orlando"

What's up with the power outage at Citywalk tonight?

What's up with the power outage at Citywalk tonight?

The power was also out at Royal Pacific so were some traffic lights on Universal Blvd, everything seems to be up and running now

 

[JoeCamel]

What's up with the power outage at Citywalk tonight?

Lots of contagion spreading through Florida. Did it catch what Epcot had? Or was it just a launch of The Hulk?

 

[UniversalRBLX]

Turns out TapuTapu requires more power than thought of...

 

[Mad Dog]

The Grizwalds were hanging their Christmas Vacation lights so Citiwalk could fill the void created by the destruction of Streets of America. :bolt:

 

[UniversalRBLX]

I know the parks have their own separate connections to power, but i didn't think the hotels AND CityWalk were tied together.
