BJ, thanks for sharing the new updates but 2 things.

1. The Shrek sign was posted already last week by KingEric.

2. When linking an update, you aren't supposed to post the whole update.

Sorry :doh:

Only tried to pick the photos pertinent to this thread. Lesson learned! :thumbs:

Attractions Magazine snapped a pic of the Hard Rock's current state:

The Hard Rock Cafe in CityWalk is undergoing some exterior changes. First the car that was suspended in the rocks outside was removed, now they’re doing some painting. We heard they’re trying to update to a new look.

^ Did I forget to post my photos of this from like 10 days ago? I could of swore I uploaded them on here somewhere. Its a new color scheme and its being tested on vendor carts in city walk as well as parts of NBA City and Nascar Cafe.

 

[Brian G.]

Yup, it's on the main page.

 

[BJCool]

^Ahhhh, ok.

I don't know how everyone feels about this but seeing it in person is a little different. While I don't know what to say about it on photos I love the new look in person.

The new look is amazing. Personally the beige just made it blend in with UO's entrance. Now it is striking, and it sticks out and it seems a bit more exciting.

I do agree that pictures don't do it justice.

I love the new look in person.

Which is all that matters IMO

100% agree, just throwing it out there for some who don't have the pleasure of being local.

 

[BJCool]

Yeah, for only seeing online pics, it does look a like a weird "red-orange" like color palette.

Now that the painting is done I hope the Cadillac makes a return.

 

[Hatetofly]

^Its not 100% yet, but after looking today I'm not so sure about the Caddy... :shrug:

Update time from today,

This store is getting gutted, I mean all the way down to the columns and those too.

A coke free style machine has shown up here

Spidey is gone, and parts of the facade and queue have already been painted.

The new sealer and coat on the asphault gives the park such a better look

Didn't take long for this to break

The updates to the vendor carts I reported last month are nearly complete. Its apart of a new updated color scheme in Citywalk.

This is almost done as well.

Your St Paddy day head quarters is back in full swing

Games have been moved

As of right now those ugly barricades are gone and it really cleans the area up.

New umbrellas at a lot of tables as well by the way

Great photos, hatetofly! Very happy to see that new Coke Freestyle machine lol.
