It might just be temp and its nothing but apparently; but Hate noticed that Barney has been closed and cleaned up. Might be nothing, but its something to bring up.

Hmmm... I am surprised that its closure is so mum. It is the height of the season after all.

I'm more wondering; Why would they make this closure so sudden? And more importantly for the case of HHN, where will the new entrance be for Insidious as it usally cuts into the Barney theatre.

If I was in charge, i'd close it just because i'd be embarrassed to still have a Barney show running in my park...

THIS JUST IN!!!!!

The Nintendo partnership was really just about retheming the Barney show to Mario.

I don't care what replaces Barney as long as something replaces Barney. Hello Kitty should have gone in there, but the fact that she didn't probably confirms that Nintendo will take that whole space.

Yea, Nintendo is taking over everything at KidZone except for ET.

I received some clarification on this and it seems Barney is not closed at all but merely using a different entrance; the doors over near Curious George. Apparently the walls are for some quick pavement work only.

I am so relieved! Party in the park with Barney is my favorite attraction at USF. I usually do it at least 3 times whenever I'm in the park.

What? Different Barney, different party?

Tower 2, Floors 5-7 at Royal Pacific will be receiving their renovations shortly.

I don't think there was a thread for this project and it probably doesn't deserve its own.

Project 263, which we assume to be a renovation of the owl building in Diagon, has received its Notice of Commencement and work should begin immediately.

Is the former queue for Madame Malkin's the owl building? It's my understanding that that space is due for some work to turn it into a revenue generator.

Yes. There were pics in the past two days on twitter that the building is closed and under construction

I really need to spend more time in Diagon. I have no clue which building's y'all's is talking about.

Owl Room is the building/area to the left of Florean's. Used as a queue to Madame Malkin's. Hopefully they re-purpose to be queue for Florean's.

It's in between the robe shop and the ice cream shop. It was originally going to be the queue for the robe fitting, but the robe fitting was not very popular

That or add a new shop. Either one works for me

You might want to get your last pictures with the Simpson's couch and the Robo-Oasis. Their days are likely numbered.

Really? Surprised the couch is going.

And yes, Robo-Oasis is getting quite the significant upgrade.

 

[Nick]

Yeah, the couch just went in less than 2 years ago.

 

[ThreePack Shagur]

It's not even a comfortable couch.
