CityWalk Orlando Updates & Changes General Thread

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

Nothing to really worry about. It’s just like any other escape room. Book online and if it’s filled it’s filled.

But this may be super difficult to book I feel. Nice that Citywalk has an “attraction” though, especially outside of Hard Rock Live.

The mini golf is low capacity too, but it’s a nice option to have.

Not sure where else to ask this but are restaurants at universal only accepting reservations now (or rather, if so is that in contrast to before the past month)?

I was able to walk up and get in line/a reservation for an hour later at Margaritaville during Christmas break. If you want to eat at Toothsome's, Antijitos, or BigFire, I recommend getting a reservation, but walk ups are a thing again

Antojitos was allowing you to walk up and put your name on the list the week before Christmas. It was easier to just get on the website and make a reservation though.

I'm glad you are able to walk up and go in

But at the same time, I've made a habit of reserving basically all of them when I go and then just choosing when I get there lol

Plus a generic movie set themed one

Back To The Future is a PERFECT property for an escape room imo.

 

[Alicia]

They can have revolving concepts swapped out over time. These are just what are expected at opening.

 

[Imperius]

So excited for this. Think JW and BTTF are the best opening options at Universals disposal outside of HP.

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

Is there any expected opening date along with the rumor?

The Rugrats version was great in Vegas. Minions could world.

Since they've already moved onto "Phase 2" construction according to permits last month, I'd say it is a safe bet this could open this year, maybe as soon as the summer. We shall see.

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

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

I've been watching some vids of escape rooms online to figure out what could be happening and I think it'll be a little more involved than a Tribute Store, it probably has already been play tested. I'm hoping they involve some actors too (which maybe where these leaks are coming from) to help with the play space and maybe interactions.

I can totally see this opening in May or June.
