Universal Orlando Resort Misc Refurbs

[Mad Dog]

Because it's a bad show? I think those who would like the whole "studio" theming to stay would like a production themed attraction that isn't bad to replace it.

Exactly.

^ That would be a much stronger point if it were still in production. But this lousy attraction has no excuse to outlive the show

But seriously I think it would be best to revitalize that area, swap in an attraction with greater appeal.

"Hmmm set enhancements near Springfield"

"Right by the Taco truck"

"Lets take a peak" (peek)

"Wider shot of the construction, the time machines are on the right"

"You can still head back behind the site past the time machines along the lagoon."

"Construction extends from the Taco truck past Expo Treats to the Amazing Pictures booth"

The area near the site does look rather shabby. There's cracks everywhere.

"See. No flag poles. :-("

"They need to get rid of Expo Treats here as well. It just doesn't fit the theming."

Thanks to @UORBuzz for the pictures. And Felipe, you still get thanks for bringing them to our attention :thumbs:

I am glad to see them continuing on this. It was UOR's downfall 5 years ago... tons of cracked concrete walkways. While it is easy to find many clean fixes in WDW concrete, it is very difficult to find ugly cracks. I swear Disney has a team that spooks around constantly looking for cracks to fix.

An update from today, courtesy of @UORBuzz. New concrete being poured in the transition area between KidZone and Springfield:

 

[DufflesMcGee]

After seeing this why do I see Kidzone refurb happening sooner than expected

I'm actually hearing the opposite but anything can happen

 

[Felipe]

Yeah, to me this says that they're trying to make what they have look its best for the Potter crowds, while KidZone is on the back burner for right now.

Their just redoing the walkway from the looks of it..we will see tiny freshening ups everywhere leading up to DA I'm sure...remember how IOA was polished before HP1?
