There are going to be tons of these little projects popping up all over the resort until the Holiday rush. Gotta spend that money before 2012 is out!

 

[Octobers Fade]

thats some serious framing just to wrap a beam, unless they are mounting something heavy up there, seems like they didn't need to do all that painting either.

From this evening,

These now play promotional spots as well as park info such as being green

Looking Good,

Springfield is coming lookout Pooh :sneaky:

 

[Felipe]

Woah, what's with all that framing going on around Simpsons?

Midway games are getting a new home. ;D

Oh, right... But, RIGHT ON (or around, technically, but attached to) the entrance to Simpsons' queue?? Congestion danger...

In front of. Essentially turning what were the "fake" carnival game booths in front of the ride that served no purpose other than decoration into actual, playable midway games. The reason for these is to replace the games that were in Amity but are now demolished.

Yeah Krustyland getting more involved! If we must have carnival games, putting them in Krustyland is genius. Wonder when that lightbulb went off? Why don't we just make the fake midway games, real midway games!? Hope they bring back all the funny phrases too.

So, are there only three major parks in CF that over these cheesy tacky carnival games; IOA, US, AK? I cannot recall any other park playing in the gutter with these. Too, I wonder how many people demand to play for free as it is a 'park attraction' and not a store.

 

[Andy]

BGT and SWO as well Teebs.

Thanks. Never been to BGT and haven't been to SWO in over a decade. That said, I did receive a few videos from designers on some SW seasonal projects today. I love being able to discuss execution with them. Yesterday, I was all "twisted up" over how they made the fabric do what it does and how they knew to do it the way they did. :wave:

I've heard it walking by once or twice.

Construction walls are gone at the @UniversalORL Poseidon gift shop and the Pearl Factory is moving in

Been a while since I peaked back here at FJ. They added a second shack.

Amusement Pics was also out at the parks today and posted a great update of things going on all over the park.

Work at the Simpsons carnival games:

The Fear Factor sign is behind scaffolding and scrims:

The window displays in Hollywood have been decked out with Emmy memorabilia and nominee listings:

Not to derail the thread, but couldn't this queue have been used as a house location?

It is much to small, and people could not enter the attraction without going through the house in that area.

In theory it could be used, it would be an execution Nightmare though. They would end up not having to use a tent and have the que in the tents location. Ultimately they're going to chose the location with AC for the actors.

wait, there's working AC in the tents? never noticed....

Hmmmm... two Home Depot style storage buildings under the Hogwarts courtyard. This is interesting because I was told recently that the "open space" area known as 107 was being used for storage.

 

[universal_fanatic]

I remember walking around in that area a year or 2 ago and wondered why it was even accesible to the public.
Shouldn't they rope it off or put up something to shield it from view?
