CityWalk Waterfront Redesign

[Cecilia]

Looking very good. Seems like the worrying about the loss of greenspace was unwarranted.

It really was. When I stopped by this weekend I took a glimpse across from the Hard Rock, and there is still a lot of green space. The grass needs some help, though... it's turning brown, and it definitely won't flatter the decks if they don't try to fix that.

If anything, the new areas are more lush than before.

I'm just talking about some of the grass surrounding the finished deck. The rest of the landscaping is fine for now.

Oh, I was responding to the grass comment. I'm sure that'll be sorted out. Not an easy time to grow grass.

Wait, so is the first one now open or close to it? :inquisitive:

It's open.

 

[Cecilia]

Yes, it's open. Nothing too special going on there, though. Just a pretty little addition.

Going to be very good for beverage sales during the summer evenings I assure you. Wait until HHN when everyone is in Citywalk getting fueled up on some liquid courage These added open spaces to give the consumer a more "adequate" place to relax after buying that 6 dollar beer.

I'm definitely hanging out there before HHN!:thumbs:

Just in case people were wondering where they keep those extra palm trees handy,

Great pics. Is there an opening date for the bar at the first terrace?

The tipped trees could also be viewed in the 'new hotel' thread pictures from the opposite direction. Did any grading work seem to be continuing there?

 

[Hatetofly]

Funny you mention the bar as those frozen concoction makers are on and filled. Is was not open last night nor this past Thursday either. As for the new hotel, nothing going on except a new PCL School Bus is now on the lot. But thats just for carrying workers from there to the construction zone in Amity.

I'm guessing the Fat Tuesday is running those frozen drink stands. Since the slushes are Fat Tuesday flavors.

 

[JungleSkip]

I'm pretty sure that's the case.

Seems they were testing them or had them open tonight. Looks great!

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Looks good, just disappointed their selection of alcohol is the generic, Vegas slushies and not an actual bar. (A bar that doesn't loudly blast music or play Jimmy Buffet non-stop might I add).

 

[Hatetofly]

I would imagine different decks will have different options.

^ Like a full bar of top shelf and beer? Those 7-Eleven mixers are pathetic. Premixed frozen alcoholic drinkys... the alcohol in them is probably bottom rung gut-rot. I prefer my gut stays happy and the only thing ruined is my liver and kidneys. Only sensible right?
