CityWalk Orlando Updates & Changes General Thread

If they want a burger chain, "The Habit" has been the best burger place I've been to. (Better than Five Guys, Fuddruckers...)

Personally I think they could use a good fast casual burger place. I could see them maybe doing an original concept though.

I would really like to see an Arbys....I love Arbys....I don't actually eat there, I just enjoy ringing the "service was good" bell

They removed the bell from my location. I still haven't gotten over it.

Funniest thing I've read all day.

No haha, I'm being silly...Everybody was naming their favorite restaurants, I figured I'd name the most ridiculous one I could think of

I agree that a better burger chain like five guys would be great. I was simply picking a substitute for a large fast food chain like Burger King.

Ah yes, Five Guys. The fast food burger place that's just around the corner of anywhere you go in Orlando.

That's why I said LIKE Five Guys. Concept is a proven one. I would prefer it be an original design by Universal.

Just let Teaks Grille come in...their burgers beat all of the above.

I don’t think a burger place could replace Emeril’s. That restaurant is too big for a fast-casual place.

I’d love to see them rip out the second floor food court and put in a couple unique fast-casual places there. The “Whopper Bar” is just a normal BK and there’s nothing special about Moe’s SW whatever.

I have a small dream of them redoing that space and expanding it some.

I honestly don’t understand why they haven’t. There’s no real reason for anybody to ever venture to that part of CityWalk.

The Whopper Bar was supposed to be BK’s cool new concept and Universal was one of their flagship locations. That was like 10 years ago. A lot has changed since then.

Rip down all of that and put in a Shake Shack (or In-N-Out, but that’s never happening) and a Chic-fil-a.

Here's my idea, Universal isn't great at counter service at CityWalk so outsource this and have Universal focus on the sit down locations.

Gut the place and expand it with more seating. Keep Panda Express, replace BK Bar with a fast casual burger concept like Five Guys, and then replace Moe's with Raising Cane's (better food and open on Sundays).

Just to build on that thought quickly.

I personally don’t think Universal is great at counter service, period. The newer places are quite good, but I don’t think that’s trickled down to the pre-Potter counter services restaurants at all.

There was a “incubator food court” I once heard about. Basically, there was a food court somewhere that catered towards new restaurants (mostly counter service). They’d give you some money and a booth at a food hall that had a full kitchen. A restaurant would stay there for 6-12 months or so and basically perfect their operations. Eventually, the expectation was that the restaurant would leave and get a real storefront so that a new restaurant could take their booth.

The crowds got a constantly rotating selection of restaurants and the community would get some new restaurants over time.

I’d love to see Universal use some version of this concept. Maybe just a rotating counter-service storefront? It could let them test out new foods easily and help them improve their counter service operations by trying out new experiments. Guests would know this was a test kitchen, so there would be less pressure to get everything exactly perfect.

Cool concept indeed. $12 whopper.......:think:

I’m pretty sure that Whopper Bar has been there before the Five Guys/Shake Shack/fast-casual burger explosion. I’m sure it made sense at the time and I’m sure it felt more high-end at the time
