CityWalk Orlando Updates & Changes General Thread

[Alicia]

Yeah. They were extremely interested in broadway shows. So expecting something like that to come soon.

I'm wondering if a large theater venue might be included in the Wet n Wild hotel off I-Drive. I believe they said a public attraction will be included.

I don't believe they have the space for something like that in CityWalk as it is now. Maybe CityWalk 2.0 at Site B, but my money's on Dry n Tame plot.

Yeah really don't see it coming to City Walk, but like you said the new sites are likely.

From looking at the plans for the WnW hotels, there doesn't seem to be a place for a large theater unless it is in the large lobby building in the resort going in the east side (WnW parking lot). It does have an adjacent parking garage that could be used by theater goers, but it doesn't really look like an "attraction" type entrance from the plans.

This post like's to say hi to that.

Another rumor for the mill

RUMOR: Voodoo Doughnuts coming to Universal CityWalk

RUMOR: Voodoo Doughnuts coming to Universal CityWalk

I believe in that, but for a different reason. That reason being, how slammed it has been for the Hollywood Location. I am honestly surprised that this wasn't a rumour once the shop opened.

Considering Universal's paltry options for breakfast on property, I'm pretty excited about this

 

[Imperius]

I'm excited because it makes it list easier to stop on the way out for a snack. Getting a Cinnabon and walking out with it after HHN is a pain.

Now if they could get the old shop shut and Voodoo opened by the 1st Oct that would be great

Another rumor for the mill

RUMOR: Voodoo Doughnuts coming to Universal CityWalk

I'm basically ready to call this a lock. All that's left to confirm this is a going-out-of-business sale at Element and a construction sign. It's a no-brainer for Universal and a great exclusive to have to compete with Disney Springs.

 

[Disneyhead]

I thought we talked about this a while back and were just waiting for confirmation.

Anyway, "hand crafted artisan fried dough" is Instagram ready and hipster approved!

Is Element the ideal spot for this? Why not the tattoo shop?

To say this, Voodoo had a small location for Hollywood; one that I wish took over Menchies when Yogurt Land went down over there. It gets PACKED, and that the more space for a brand as large for donuts like Voodoo; the better so that they can not only handle capacity, but to also allow more $$$ for Universal & Voodoo.

O great a donut shop, the fried, sugar coated treat America was build on. And (as always) this one is actually worth the queue, until the next one comes around to tickle the beaten to death "taste" buds. I was hoping for something... different but I think is an good guess.

I'm still angry the Whopper bar is neither a buffet with burger stuffs nor a bar with alcohol.

Someone fix that.

Yes, huge mis-opportunity...Should have been called Burger King Express or Diet Burger King

I just call it gross.

If Universal insists on keeping a fast food place up there, they should replace the Whopper Bar with a Taco Bell Cantina. The whole Whopper Bar concept seems to have failed (because Shake Shack and Five Guys did it better?) and the Taco Bell Cantina seems pretty hip and popular.

I believe Panda Express is starting a Coffee and Tea ad on...Perhaps they could try that too

I just heard that supposedly Cinnabon is about to expand, and is taking over the "wave" photo op area. I wonder if the whole surf shop is going away?
