Fossil isn't huge, but the corner location there would be a great spot for something. I just wonder why Fossil is still there? Does anyone buy anything from there? I haven't had anything from Fossil in 20 years...
Should we expect anything else new to come here prior to EU?
I know lol just wasn’t sure if there’s many/any long-standing or new rumors about.4 years is a long time so I'd say yes.
I’d love to see a preview center for Epic Universe somewhere in CityWalk.4 years is a long time so I'd say yes.
It'd make no sense to NOT do this at some point. Gotta get people aware and hyped somehow. The Epcot preview center seems pretty nice so honestly I could see it. I really do think we don't hear anything about EU specifics until SNW in Hollywood is opened. Then, preview center in CW around late 2021 makes sense to me. Id hope we get 1 more restaurant in City Walk honestly.I’d love to see a preview center for Epic Universe somewhere in CityWalk.

That is true. Completely forgot about that resort. Thats a massive space to work with thats one of the fist restaurants guests see when exiting IOA. Could be fun if they re do that space although I do love it there.I can’t see Margaritaville staying around with the new resort open.

Especially since CityWalk will always generate more business than the middle of nowhere, Kissimmee.I can see the logic but I think there's enough business to keep both going.

I don’t think it’s about business as much as Universal not having a need to license out the brand.

I think if it was going to go, the resort would've ponied up the money 2 years ago to make it happen. They really needed it more, and could not get the rights. Also, anecdotal, but CityWalk M'ville always at least moderately busy when I stop by. Only other places I can say that about are Hard Rock and Toothsome.
The real problem with CityWalk seems to be upstairs. Went to Pat O's Thursday--the night half this town gets paid remember--maybe 10 people watching football in the sports bar, not even that many in the piano bar. Didn't go in Red Coconut, but it looked empty from outside, guys were leaving in touristy t-shirt attire and host was cajoling them to stay (so much for being the new Blue Martini). No line at Rising Star. I'd expect an overhaul here before any of the mass tourist loaders get touched--either reinvented nightlife or a move toward restaurants like Springs. Tho how many more restaurants can CityWalk truly support?
These are aimed at the "value" guest though, so will those staying here be willing to pony up for bigger meals that include tip? They need something that isn't mostly a Burgers and fries place if they are to add more restaurants, though. Too many of those types of places already.I'd answer that once Endless Summer is fully open.
Current resort had 5800 rooms. Dockside and Surfside are adding nearly 3000 more rooms. That's a lot more mouths to feed for people who will be encouraged to visit for longer and more often.
