CityWalk Hollywood General Discussion

I'm always a little puzzled how a "soft opening" for an escape room facility even works. "Hey, come on in and pay $50 for something that isn't officially open yet?"

"As this is the soft opening, you may or may not escape. No guarantees."

As for the Nintendo store... it's arguably in Nintendo's best interest to open a standalone location somewhere other than Universal property, as they're already well-represented there between the land itself and the heavy merch presence throughout the park and Citywalk. It's in Universal's best interest to open a Nintendo World location in Citywalk to drive traffic to their shopping district. Make of that what you will.

And that's without mentioning the caveat that the SNW merch is all Mario Bros

The raiders store is becoming a team member store called take 2 or something like that apparently

I'm assuming it means they're open, but it isn't fully advertised, so crowd levels are lower and more manageable.

It would be insane if they could somehow bring it to little Tokyo

Little Tokyo needs it at least as bad as Citywalk tbh, I’d be really happy with that
