I hope we get something like this at USH

I don't know if they can...but if they have the rights I would also love Meet and Greets.

Yes, something similar is coming. Working on article now.

I think its cool to have a dedicated retail experience like this front and center in the park. I wonder if this will stay around for a while or they will rotate it with big tentpole releases

 

[Brian G.]

they will rotate it with big tentpole releases

I believe that's the plan.

 

[Cup_Of_Coffee]

I actually love that plan, outside seems nice and enticing. Tribute stores have been a major success for this resort and it’s really nice to see that ideology transition here. Much better use of space longterm.

Now for the theater show in Fear Factor theater

 

[Mad Dog]

With a two part film, they could conceivably keep it open, under Wicked, for two years or so.....Synergy plus.

Give us a wicked stage show

Replacing Hello Kitty with Wicked is like Disney replacing the Haunted Mansion gift shop with a Hamilton store.

Wicked now, Jurassic World Rebirth in summer? (One can dream)

I mentioned this to people at work and they were REALLY excited for it. This may actually be a real draw for the park…

 

[Mad Dog]

I'm looking forward to it. It's kind of comparable to a B ticket attraction. Anything that gives some balance to the park, that occupies some of your time in an entertaining way, is a plus. ...I always enjoyed the Lucy display in that building. I saw it a zillion times, but I'd still spend a good 15 to 30 minutes looking at that every vacation trip.

Hopefully if it's good enough we may one day see a full Broadway adaptation

 

[Jerroddragon]

I'd take a sing along with song from the film on a screen...lol

 

[GAcoaster]

I’m a little disappointed the costume display will be at the AMC Citywalk in Hollywood instead of here. I agree that the Lucy Tribute Store was a great attraction and is really the kind of thing that would be great to have again. I always enjoy seeing stuff like costumes and props from the films on display.

While Hello Kitty is received very well out in Hollywood, it never moved the needle in Orlando.

Also, is... "Hello Kitty" really analogous to the Haunted Mansion?

Excited for this addition and agree this building should take on the role as a flex space to promote new blockbuster Universal films. Basically what the old Soundstage 44 (I think that was the number? Maybe 40?) was back in the 90s/early 2000s.
