Here's a rundown of the individual games going from left to right. Dunk or Flunk is a basketball-type game that is not actually attached to the ride's queue. Whac-A-Rat is a Whac-A-Mole type game where you hit little Itchies with a mallot and the scoreboards are themed to his tombstones. Mr. Burns' Radioactive Rings is a ring toss game. Eye Carumba! is another basketball-type game. Help Santa’s Little Helper is a water gun game where you shoot to make the corresponding dog move across the game. Sideshow You is a game where you pop balloons with little bean bags. Wild and Willie is a game where you throw balls at cutouts of Willie. Thar She Throws has you throw balls into plastic bins. Lastly, at Strike 3, you launch a ball out of a wooden bat-themed cannon in hopes of knocking over a stack of Duff Beer cans.

Witty tombstones? Oh geez, how utterly original Universal Creative. I wonder where they came up with that stroke of genius.....EXCEPT MAYBE THE HAUNTED MANSION!!

Gah. I mean finally, 42 years later we're seeing Universal's response to the Haunted Mansion, and it's like they're not even trying.

You can blame the tombstones on Simpsons Treehouse of horrors over the last two decades by the way.

I'm not sure whether this is new or not, but Orlando Informer noticed that the photo spots in Jurassic Park with the dinos and jeeps are behind rope fences (presumably to prevent guests from getting too close?).

Additionally, Orlando Theme Park News posted a CityWalk photo update.

The resort director now includes the Minions:

Here's how the Cigarz and Hart and Huntington signs on the direction post looked a few weeks ago:

Here's how they look now after being fixed:

Lastly, some minor work was going on at the mini-golf:

the length of that new fence has got to be related to that... it goes all the way from turkey lake down to the I-4 ramp... in other news a traffic light that was never turned on fully is turned on... my guess for the construction workers to enter the property...

Some general updates from Orlando Theme Park News. The roof work on Confisco that had been going on for months finally looks to be complete.

Water has returned to this area in Seuss, but it apparently didn't receive much visible work to make it look better.

Not so much refurbishment as it is a shoot that was going on. First thing my mind went to was a new commercial...? Who knows, it could just be a random production.

Getting ready for Grinchmas? Or are you referring to bare concrete that is being prepped for new paint? Either way sounds like a win!

Seems like the latter. Interesting that the concrete itself is tinted different "colors" so its not all the same grey when lacking paint.
