Hello Kitty Store USF (CLOSED)

[Disneyhead]

I don't think it will be Nintendo.

I'd prefer your idea also, since I couldn't care less about Nintendo merchandise. But, if I'm Universal, I'm putting Nintendo into that Prime location.

Definitely, Nintendo should go somewhere at USF, it just feels weird to have it front and center there. Preferably it'd just move into the bakery/sweets section and then relocate that stuff across the street to the On Location shop.

The entire USF front area just needs a face lift.

Spoiler: USF Front

Expand Universal Studios Store into the sweets shop (put Nintendo here)
Relocate sweets shop to On Location photo shop
Relocate On Location photo shop to the discount/exit shop at the turnstiles
Move out the retro Universal line into new Universal - A Tribute store

So with the rumors of simpsons becoming Pokémon, what if a Pokémon center replaces this?

Its not that.

Its not that.

well, that was my wild guess, please dont say its more minions

I’m no Hello Kitty fan by ANY means but closing the store with no warning at all or news about a replacement is Wicked for any fans out there

Might be time to update the thread title to “Hello Kitty Going from Universal”

I can't see them doing a Nintendo store if they're putting one out in Citywalk too.

While more than likely it'll be Nintendo, I am still hoping for a permanent Universal - A Tribute store with photo ops and props of classic/legacy Universal films. Maybe a small section dedicated to the park as well, but this prime location should be home to something Universal, not a third party IP IMO.

Will feel weird to walk into a studio-themed park and see Nintendo first... but no proper Nintendo attraction (yet) at the park.

This is epic. Please consider this, Universal.

Don't see why they'd turn half of the store into Minions on the side that doesn't sit within Minion Land.

IDK, maybe it has something to do with this...(second to last paragraph).

Pretty crazy how sudden this closure was, but as long as whatever comes next is popular, I think it will be okay.

I wonder, is Hello Kitty as an IP at USF gone for good? The statue is still up outside as of HHN tonight. I wonder if you will still be able to meet with Kitty at all past this. Call me sentimental but it'd be a shame to lose a character as big as them without any fanfare.

Maybe it will be a store promoting Epic Universe

This makes a ton of sense. I really hope one day they add Defying Gravity to Cinesational somehow, too.
