^^ That looks like its going to be the coffee shop from the first movie.
Got to wonder, will it serve Starbucks?

Similar, but not exact. It could very well be made to look like the coffee shop in the film. How cool would it be to have Freeze-Rayed sculptures inside.
Yeahhh, me too. I'm sure I'll have fun from Despicable Me. But I'll always miss T23D. Highly superior overall experience.
I love Despicable Me and I'm happy it's getting an attraction. I just wish it wasn't such a simple ol' simulator :/
Right across from another simulator of almost the same theme
The simulator idea seems to be the only thing Universal is interested in, unfortunately.
God knows I love Universal, very much, but every time I visit Disneyland, I can't help but wish Universal would take a lead from Disney. Disney isn't perfect, but they do some things better, such as theme and a variety of different types of rides. I just went to Disneyland last Saturday with a newbie originally born in Oregon and now lives with us in SoCal. She had only ever been to Universal (my brother works there and gets free tickets). After maybe 30 minutes of walking in Disneyland, she immediately noticed the difference, specifically with the theming. "This is WAY better than Universal!", she said.
If I had it my way, I'd get the Team Members new uniforms, especially the merchandise Team Members. All of their uniforms look the same! It should be different, according to the store they work in. The attraction uniforms for Mummy and Simpsons have got to go. The Simpsons one looks so generic and Mummy Team Members remind me of ninjas. Jurassic Park TMs look decent and the Transformers uniform is awesome, so no complaint there.
The simulator rides are fun, no doubt, but they shouldn't dominate the park, especially when we have space for only a few rides. Universal needs to get more creative. I think they're trying to do better with the transitioning of themes in the park (new Simpsons expansion, Despicable Me "land", Potter), but it could definitely better. I just wish we had the space. That was the main thing I noticed when I first visited Universal three years ago. The transitioning of theme was seriously lacking. I also think Waterworld needs to go. That show is amazing, but every time I watch it, I feel like I jumped into a time machine, taking me back to the 90's. We need new things.
I hope Universal can get a leader in the future who cares more about these things. I love the park and I have no plans on discontinuing my visits, but I believe some things should be done.
Sorry for ranting haha.

Facade is moving quickly. Gru's neighbor's houses (on the left) have siding on them. Roofing shingles on the last house on the left went up today. Gru's house is done frame-wise and the house is basically waiting for shingles and brick facing. Miss Hattie's got a door installed and the show building is being painted blue (sky most likely).
Yeah they're definitely going hit their proposed mid-March soft opening date looking at this. Not sure if SSFL will, however.
Just saw Miss Hattie's last night. Impressive! Couldn't really see Gru's house or his neighbors' since it was so dark, but it's nice to see it all coming along so nicely.
I'm hoping that they're painting it sky blue and putting clouds over it, like Vector's house in the first film. I love the hiding in plain sight gag and would be perfect for DM:MM.
That's what I thought they'd be doing, but wouldn't that look too cheesy? I don't think most guests would get the reference.
It does look cheesy but it's kinda funny. It's probably what they're doing anyway, as a reference to the first movie or not. I mean, what ELSE could they do, you know?
(If it was up to me, I'd project moving clouds. But...hey, that's just me

In direct sunlight? I don't think that would ever work.(If it was up to me, I'd project moving clouds. But...hey, that's just me
I know but a guy can dream, right? I just like when there's more movement and energy. I just hope it'll look nice.

Haha, the day they can create a projector that can work in broad daylight is the day that many A/V contractors rejoice!

Amen brutha haha.
But yeah, I hope it's gonna be more than just a painted sky, but I'm not gonna he surprised if it's not.
