Universal Orlando Resort Misc Refurbs

[BJCool]

From AmusementPics' October 29th update......

The three roof structures in the Expo circle have the hardware for roll down "walls" on all four sides so they can be closed off. I have to wonder if these will be temporary food stands to make up for a closure of the International Food & Film Festival for remodeling?

The second row of benches was removed.

From AmusementPics' most recent update......

The day after HHN all of the decorations on the gates are down.

The pavilions now have their roll down walls in place.

Most of the wood on the bridge has been replaced with fresh timber.

Across from International Film & Food Festival planters and benches have been removed along the walkway.

All the temporary games have been removed.

They were filming something in front of IOA this afternoon.

On the way out we noticed the light is still out on the Lighthouse (after several weeks), but the mirror is still rotating up there in the dark.

Random X-Mas decorations/merch going up all over the resort.....

Grinch merch at the former HHN CityWalk booth:

Seuss Landing decorations:

Islands Trading Company decorations:

The food and merch stands by the stage now have decorations up (and the merch stands sells Grinch stuff):

I think all the World Expo stuff is directly related to Springfield project.

Wood on the bridge was replaced about two weeks ago and sooooo glad it did.

Was all the wood replaced? I noticed that some was new but I'm not sure they replaced it all. The above photo was from Thursday, November 1st.

Poseidon's Fury is having it's entire catwalk system redone.

Also, all of Marvel's attractions are getting new air compressors.

Is parts of PF being redone a sign that it is here to stay, at least for a while?

 

[Spideyfreak]

^The catwalk replacement could just be to meet new OSHA standards.

Work being done around including some Christmas deliveries,

 

[JungleSkip]

I hope you told someone about the dead rat.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

I hope you told someone about the dead rat.

Yeah I hope so too. Damn outdoors!

 

[Cecilia]

That dead rat made me sadface. But, I'm stoked to see Seuss Landing getting decked out. The atmosphere during the holidays there is just incredible.
