Alicia said in her latest video that it's expected that the hub will double as a Citywalk like of area after 6pm like I predicted when this tread started. Very excited for that.

The logistics of this fascinate me.Alicia said in her latest video that it's expected that the hub will double as a Citywalk like of area after 6pm like I predicted when this tread started. Very excited for that.
It’s a big venue, I can see them saving a sizable section for theme park guests. Fantasmic & WOC at DLR require a virtual queue to enter the viewing areas (and before that a fastpass).The logistics of this fascinate me.
Especially when it comes to the nightly fountain show spectacular. Imagine being a paying day guest who gets a less than stellar view while someone who didn’t pay just stakes out a bunch of spots for themselves and their friends.
They had plenty of other stuff to do all day. I'm sure they'll be fine.The logistics of this fascinate me.

and there's only a cheap pizza/theme park burger place to eat at!"
Yes. Most often we'll eat dinner at CityWalk or one of the other hotel resorts. The food and value are better there, and it's convenient.Three full service restaurants with bars, plus additional bars, but street food vendors, a party atmosphere, and nightly fireworks. Plus, later, an entertainment flex space. It’s not just a cheap pizza/burger place to eat.
It may very well end up offering Universal’s fanciest restaurants, and perhaps that’ll be draw enough, the same way I’ve gone to Hard Rock or Portofino just for a nice meal. But we shall see.
Right- but even still- 3 TS doesn’t sound nearly enough to sustain the park goers + non ticket holders.Three full service restaurants with bars, plus additional bars, but street food vendors, a party atmosphere, and nightly fireworks.

Rumors are just rumorsI’m curious what made them revive this plan even if it’s not the same as the original rumors.
You are oversimplifying the hub....Think of it like going to a city park that has restaurants with the park area.It's an operations nightmare waiting to happen... and how exactly do you market "Come to our brand-new theme park for free after 6PM, but you can't go on any rides, and there's only a cheap pizza/theme park burger place to eat at!"
Maybe I could see it work as an onsite hotel perk.
I don't think people scan into the lands, I think they just close the lands at 6 and let outside visitors come in at 6. If somebody buys out a land, then you would be screened if you're a member of that party.I really hate the open hub concept. It's not like the park is gonna be starving for visitors when it opens. Also, why make guests have to keep scanning into each land throughout the day?
If the lands are still open, facial recognition at portals will keep out the non-paying guests. The old open hub plans would still apply, just not all day according to this rumor.I don't think people scan into the lands, I think they just close the lands at 6 and let outside visitors come in at 6.
