Universal's Epic Universe Construction Thread

[JungleSkip]

We do still have Panda Express in both Universal Studios Hollywood and Knott's Berry Farm! I think Johnny Rockets also appears in both Six Flags and Cedar Fair parks, including Magic Mountain and Knott's currently.

(I have no issues with Starbucks being in these parks, FWIW, though I appreciate them more when their interiors are tailored to the specific theme.)

Chic Fil A is in a ton of parks now too (unfortunately)

I wonder if Cinnabon will make an appearance?

I don't have an issue, either, though I do find it interesting that they've essentially cornered the theme park market and are basically an expected element of the food and beverage lineup at any major destination.

I would find it refreshing if other coffee companies could get a more prominent foot in the door (as Joffrey's has at WDW) just for the sake of variety!

Can't have a theme park without Starbucks

That brings up any interesting question. Is Starbucks the only in-park "fast food" chain consistently within a major theme park (not counting Disney Springs or CityWalk).

Auntie Anne’s pretzels.

Hopefully it's a themed Starbucks.

Hopefully it's a themed Starbucks.

It matches most of the other freestanding smaller quick service locations within the hub, so certainly following the same themed design.

It’ll be similiar to IOA in terms of being cohesive I’m sure.

I heard that the Today Cafe has some very good coffee.

It’s not my personal favorite, but I also don’t care for Starbucks regular coffee, so take that however you like.

I will take the Today Cafe food over Starbucks any day.

Still hoping we get an expanded crepes place in HP with some French pastries to boot.

Hotel tiles are starting to look better now that more are up and we aren't right up against the wall.

I wonder what the job prerequisite stated, must like putting together 1k puzzles or better lol.

I just hope that they are secured to the side of the building well enough. A strong hurricane and southeast Orlando will look like it got hit with a glitter bomb.

Another cool shot from Bio

I genuinely think these will be GORGEOUS.


I worry they’re a safety hazard from the roadways because they’re so eye catching.

It’s like a combo of an oil spill and one of those sequins pillows that you rub.

It seems like a lot of effort is going into the exterior of what is going to be considered a value hotel right?

It reminds me of the Harry Styles pillow

This is interesting...



I suppose it's just a mock up for a detail in the pavement, but it's interesting. I wonder if the pathways will have embedded lighting at intervals, and if this is for some sort of lighted/glowing starburst in the pavement?
