I may sound like an idiot for asking this but where was there ever a Ben and Jerry's at Universal?

It's in the NY section

and here

It took us a few years to realize there was a Ben & Jerrys in NYC. It kind of got lost next to the coffee shop. Schwab's is rarely open when we're on vacation, so that's never been a stop for us.

That’s kind of the beauty of the whole New York area, I think. It’s so meticulously designed and I notice new things every time I go through it

Honeslty...when you have Butterbeer Ice Cream in your park there is really no reason to go into Ben & Jerry's or Schwab

Yes, that's basically what happens with us. If we want ice cream, Diagon Alley, our fav area in any theme park, is our first and only choice....Though, if Schwabs was open and had a true ice cream soda fountain selection like
drug stores had when I was a kid, I'd definitely go there. Alas, those places are extinct .

With the Tokyo Olympics nearing it's start date, it seems evident that NBCU will be promoting and advertising the Olympics heavy this year, as Universal will be seemingly having something at Music Plaza.

This honestly looks like a COVID testing / vaccination site.

It would be cool if they have a Japanese food/drink tent with relevant offerings.

Maybe they’ll be international offerings all throughout the park. We’ve already got Latin flavors out. The Olympics is a world event after all.

Eh, an international food festival would never work at a theme park

Where at? Main gate or resort sides?

Right beside the TM metal detectors in the security hub area. They’re having people walk through it before using the current metal detectors

Is this like the ones at WDW where you can just walk through with your phone and stuff in your pocket and keep your backpack or whatever on?
