Hello Kitty Store USF (CLOSED)

Looks like Building 14 (Lucy - A Tribute) will be changing in the near future.

Yeah and it's gonna be arguably worse than what was there before.

Could that not mean the store that is in that same building?

 

[OrlandoGuy]

^Yes, thats coming out too, don't know if that requires a separate permit or not tho

They're the same building, wouldn't require two permits.

Jimmy Fallon store???

I actually wouldn't mind seeing a store selling Jimmy Fallon stuff as long as it came with other cool NBC-related merch. I once went to a store that sold a bunch of retro SNL stuff and it was actually stuff worth buying.

Well, Universal is trying to get rid of anything that is old and under-attended, so this is no shocker. I'm sure, whatever is put in this smallish building, will have a lot more marketability and merchandising opportunities as that seems to be the way Comcast is trying to go with things.

I'm pretty sure Teebin said we're getting an NBC Store with the Fallon attraction.

You seem to suggest that you know what is replacing Lucy and the store? If so, what is it?

Jimmy Fallon store???

That seems a little too far away to be a Jimmy Fallon store.

Out of curiosity, is this going to be another store or a new attraction?

I just know that a large store is being planned for the twister building. I only assume it will be an NBC Store as Rock is the location of their flagship store.

Thanks... Not to worry, I wouldn't want to be caught rumoring that! Yeeeesh. :wave:

Do you think what you know could potentially be a red herring

I hope so. I'm not really an "insider", just kinda heard about it and then this thread was created so I figured there's a good chance it's true.

In any case, Teebin and JungleSkip know, they're the ones who are good about knowing what to spill and when. All I wanted to say is that expectations ought to be almost nonexistent if the rumor is right lol.

What is interesting, I received some background on the whole Lucy thing at Universal a few years back and I was told that it and the characters were highly coveted by the company. That they were fine losing almost every character except her. A change of heart perhaps?

 

[Jwhee]

Will it still be a walkthrough looking at old stuff?

Well, they still have her walking around as a face character for meet and greets.

Right, I just caught the impression that ripping out her attraction would incense the family and it would be all or nothing with the license.

Could be the case. It would be sad to see her go, the performers do a great job, and seeing her wandering around the Cabana Bay lobby during the M&G hours there was kind of surreal. But in reality, there are definitely things that can make the park more money
