Universal Goes Back in Time and Jumps Forward

[Jon Fu]

Adriana has this month's report, with news on the NBCUniversal Evolution Plan, General Electric/Comcast and the Central Park area. Check it out: http://insideuniversal.net/2013/02/whats-hot-in-hollywood-universal-goes-back-in-time-and-jumps-forward/

Also interesting to note this:

Since the picnic area seems to be able to be rented out will, the whole central park be enclosed?

 

[Allen The Actor]

^ Totally agree. No way is the upcoming central park going to he a PRIVATE picnic area, they're most likely talking about the other employee picnic area, especially considering they wouldn't advertise a picnic area on a current advertisement that isn't ready.

Otherwise, great article

Thanks for reading it guys, I appreciate it.

As for the picnicking - I'd be interested in having one for all of us in whatever space they're talking about, but getting a day and enough people would be tough.

^ yeah Adri, and we can perform a little Wicked for everyone

I can sing a really high falsetto, so maybe you can be Fiyero and I'll be the others

Speaking of (boy we've went off topic haha), Adri, i think you'd appreciate this

Oh wow, I'm gonna have to watch that when I'm not in a room full of people...

Back on subject though - I don't exactly know who that flyer is getting sent to? Is that getting mailed out to companies or passed around or what? Since that's clearly aimed at businesses and not the general public. Do they even offer picnic packages to the general public? I don't recall ever seeing any.

 

[Allen The Actor]

Ok, tell me watcha think when you do

And yeah, im curious if they offer it for the general public, the flyer said for groups of 500...

Hate to rain on theories, but:

2. The private picnic area, while yes CP will be one as well, is probably referring to the one they currently now use: the area just outside the Gibson amphitheater.

No need to worry. You provide excellent insight into the parks, which I always look forward to reading.

But your second point is valid. We were more thinking along the times of, "Universal seems committed to this picnic idea - especially when you factor in the construction that's going to take place at the Gibson. There must be other locations on the lot for them to use."

I'm not sure how disruptive the Harry Potter construction is going to be, but I'm guessing it could affect any possible picnic area already in use within that area. Hence the notion that Universal could use the proposed "Central Park" area as a second place. Then again, I'm sure there are more picnic areas I'm not aware of. We just thought it was an interesting flyer.

I've amended the post to include your post. Thanks, Schmosby!
