Here are some shots of progress around the lagoon at Universal Studios.

Example of Before, notice the wood and railings.

Now here is the new railings and new wooden planks installed. Its a huge improvement! Notice this will probably be spread out over the next 4-6 months as well.

More random refurbs and updates abroad. Also I want to point out that I noticed stuff most of us would never realize.
-Some new benches around lagoon at USF.
-The area the Superheros park there new vehicles is now roped off once they park.
-A new gate has been installed on the walkway about half way back to Blue Man parallel to HRRR.
-Temporary drink stands were all around the resort, about 10-12 more than the high point of summer from what I recall.
-Monsters Cafe was closed and appeared to be receiving a little cleaning on the inside.

Yeah, forgot to post these.

-P&B is getting some love all over as is Me Ship the Olive
-Seemed like Twisters facade has been cleaned up and the sprayers more active. But I really don't pay attention to it.
-Plumbing work near Richters is done for now but I have to think it will resume soon as the final product looks worse then before work started there.
-Also in case you missed it the SS's up front are being painted. I would expect before DM opens new graphics to be installed on both sides.

-The theater is getting some work outside the box office
-P&B looks sweet, the refurb is going GREAT!
-The Universal store front is getting some love in preparation for HHN
-I posted the HPFJ queue work here as well because there is some work coming to the JP side as well. Hmmm....

A few random happenings from today,

Still testing snow machines or bubbles whatever.

Things are back to normal here and actually look very nice and clean.

Dude wheres my car? Wheres your car dude?

Aren't these new?

These are popping up every where and look great!

The audio dialogue was on today, I honestly do not remember the last time I heard it on while visiting IOA! Very nice to see its return.

A few picture of Richter's Burger from yesterday. Work may be tied into the new lagoon show . . .

You know I walked by the Hard Rock the other day and I was going to take a photo.. cause my brain was trying to tell me something was missing and I though about the car... and I didn't trust myself just saying the car is only inside.. glad you caught it

 

[bobwadd]

Hard Rock Orlando's Pink Cadillac is definitely missing! Also a shot of some exterior work being done . . .

There's audio dialogue for this? What's it say?

I believe I recall it as echoey sounds of people working inside the sub. There are hammering sounds too.

Also I don't have a photo on me but the Exit turn styles are walled off at USF
