Springfield Expansion

[Hatetofly]

The possibilities are pretty endless whichever way they go.

I just hope they bring their A game with the theming.

They will, it's an area that desperately needs a makeover and considering how much time and effort they put into some games I think it's a no brainer.

Oh, I know. And looking at how well a simple retheme like Spongebob Storepants came out, I have to assume this will be even better considering there's demolition involved.

An English beer company already makes Duff as a Germany Pilsner. I don't know if that would complicate or simplify things.

Wow, I wonder if they have a contract with Groening to be allowed to use that kind of labeling and color scheme

Nope. It's without Groening's or Fox's permission.

I wonder if they will have buzz cola or do they already sell that

I don't know if it's in USF, but when the did the movie promotion with the 7-Elevens turned Kwiki-Marts they sold it and it was pretty awful.

They selling Flaming Moe's and Duff's, they're both energy drinks that are pretty decent, but way too expensive.

Idk when the construction was expected to start (?) but the IFF was open as well as the restrooms, no walls just the restaraunt.

Won't be until after the Christmas rush IMO.

Possibly related update from AmusmentPics.....

Across from International Film & Food Festival planters and benches have been removed along the walkway.

I expected things to start happening after HHN, but I could be wrong...

All those green tents where the street vendors are located are moving down to the new ones they have built in front of Animal Actors. :thumbs:

Hello I had a nice long talk with a employee today who worked at the kwig e mart we had a short conversation but then I asked why is the squsihey kart gone and she told me that they just decided to get rid of it for now. I also talked to her about the ifff closing and she told me its closing literally this week permenatly. After I talked to her I went and sat in the ifff outdoor seating for a while but after aminute a realized it was closed for a second day in arow and it was about lunch time I took a pic I will upload tommorow. But it did open later that day.

Kind of sad. That was one of my favorite places to eat at UOR. Not really quality wise but atmosphere and tradition more than anything. It was always a stop on the meal deal for me. I understand how outdated it is though.

 

[jh32488]

damn. i was hoping to get tons of pictures of the inside/outside before it closed to remember it by.

i hope cafe la bamba opens to make up for it.

Get out your grain of salt, but Jim Hill says Krustyburger, Moes, and a Ferris Wheel.

So DCA gets a ferris wheel with a big Mickey head on it and we may get a ferris wheel with a big Krusty the Clown head on it at USF

I'd be okay with all of that, but a ferris wheel is going to be an odd fit over there. A Mickey's Fun Wheel sized ride could fit over by the water where the temporary stands are now, but the question is where do they put the queue.
