Universal Orlando Resort Misc Refurbs

Do the hotels have any kind of metal detectors? It seems like you maximize the utility of that security if every single entrance to CityWalk (hotels, garage, busses) have to go through security.

The walkways from the hotels are staffed with TMs and metal detectors, yes.

In addition to the security on the walkways from the hotels the water taxi's have a security station at the hotels that you pass through before boarding.

Are you referring to the Roboasis renovation that's happening, or is it something else? Because if it's Roboasis; perhaps that should go to it's designated thread?

Yeah, the Roboasis. Forgot it had its own thread.

canopy over IOA exit is still missing, can't tell whether they're planning on replacing it. I kind of like it as is, looks ruin-esque

as we saw the Hard Rock sign sparkly things got re-done, they look really great now:

I agree. I like it better this way. I'd guess they're replacing it though.

I think if they were going to keep this then they would have drilled the concrete for the umbrellas. I don't think there has been a NOC for this though

what did it look like before? I'd like to compare.

The beams went all the way across and had a roof on it. Like the entrance side but not as elaborate "The Adventure Begins".

I just received a survey asking me about my preference in the style of the universal traffic directional signs. Looks like they are wondering how to best include Sapphire Falls and Volcano Bay on signs, such as where to park for Volcano Bay even though its not where the park is. I prefer the more detailed one when you enter the parking plaza while the simpler design works for the approach.

It was not marked confidential by the way. Here are the options they gave me for a few questions (If an admin knows how to make these images less obtrusive please do):

For those wondering, the survey was not confidential.

That's a funny survey. I noticed they were struggling squeezing in the new hotel names on the current signs.
