The new Lankershim marquee is working! It looks 100 times better than the old one!  ;)

New trees going in.  I expect a lot of projects around the property will be completed before spring break crowds.

Big, unattractive mess of stuff happening around it but the sign looks great.  There's a new traffic signal halfway up the hill at the Sheraton driveway.  Above that just about everything looks done.  The bottom half still has a ways to go.

New traffic light at Sheraton Drive installed.  Most of the work is done from that point up.  Plenty still happening from there to bottom.

This was my fourth day in a row visiting and there have been lots of workers and equipment each day on this project.  Gotta be ready for those spring break crowds.  There's some big pieces of steel getting attention there.  Hmm.


Five more palm trees planted since yesterday.  These things pop up as quickly as ticket kiosks.  ;-)

Looks like space is ready for more palm trees.

Interesting that the road, signage and landscaping going up the hill has all been completely redone for big crowds all of whom will be passing through these same four parking windows under that untouched sign.  Not that it's bad, but knowing how much has changed elsewhere this spot seems quaintly untouched.

That sounds like the Orlando deal.  You have to purchase your ticket with an AMEX card and the word American Express will be printed on the back of the ticket.  Kind of odd to me when you will have to have the door staffed all day for a very few amount of guests.


I understand needing a company to sponsor the free snacks, water and lounge area, but when it doesn't turn revenue, I doubt if this will last long.  Sad, because I want a lounge idea to work in the park and not only in the Studio Center.

Did anyone get more info on the American Express lounge?  Curious what benefits it could offer.  I'll try to remember to ask at the American Express counter in CityWalk.

It offers light snacks and free bottled water.  Plus a lounge area where you can charge your mobile device and look at a few display cases along with Universal films playing on a television.  Its not super exciting and only truly beneficial on super crowded, hot summer days.

^ I have a hunch we'll be seeing that photo opportunity removed soon.

What makes you say that? And why place it in front of Cartooniversal?

Thee bridge looks like it will be completed very soon! I like the futuristic and modern design of it!

The walls are down on the new security bag check.

Looks pretty good! My question is how they will put everyone "behind" the bag check. Will they set up a queue line that wraps around toward the Universal Studios Store?

With the way the security screening is placed, it really make me wonder what the future holds for this part of CityWalk:





If you remove that portion of CityWalk, then you do have enough room for Diagon Alley including Gringotts.

I honestly think they aren't going to do anything with that section. Those are all administration offices in that section of CityWalk, not to mention the amount of business that the Park and CityWalk would lose if they did, in fact, remove that area. 

I'd say Saddle Ranch would go long before that area of CityWalk would even be considered for the chopping block.

The area in red has no administration offices, its all retail.


The administration building is the yellow building in the upper right.

There are offices up there. CityWalk and some park management is all up there as well as the greenish yellow building.

I don't see that part of CityWalk leaving any time soon (if not at all...).
