Forgot to post these

Suess is getting love pretty much all the time now which is great! That paint fades fast over there.

Work is wrapping up here

And last but not least work on the Simpsons area

 

[Andy]

Almost forgot

^^^^Que?

HTF, what the heck am I looking at? :inquisitive:

 

[Andy]

Markers in between Rockit and Hard Rock cafe. Probably utility work but something to share none the less.

Forgot to add this as well. During my visit the other day when I walked into the Studios I was shocked to see the amount of characters on the streets. Just within 150ft of the main gate their roughly 20.

Shrek
The Lorax
Popeye
Olive
Marge
Lisa
Bart
Marilyn Monroe and her Escort
Scooby
Shaggy
Dora and roughly 7-8 other actors with her

Did the hat ever get re-painted?

 

[Teebin]

Odd that the one building in portafino is being partially re-sheathed.

Theme Park Review posted that this store now sells some big name brand merch.

One of the shops in the park recently underwent a slight transformation to allow it to sell Oakley, RayBan and Gucci accessories.

For those of you who frequent the parks, what is the status of the multiple decks in CityWalk? The last time I saw pictures, it seemed like two or three were completed, with work ongoing on the others. Are they finished yet?

I only ask because I'm looking forward to having some post-HHN drinks at one of these locations in a few weeks. :thumbs:

I believe that all of them are open for business.

Good to hear. Now for my next question: What are they all serving? I seem to remember that one of them had frozen drink mixing machines, while another seemed to sell pastries or breakfast foods or something of that nature. Oh yeah, and how many are there?

3 decks. One has the frozen drinks, one has a bar that also serves some sandwiches and appetizers, and one serves donuts and the like.

Thats because they lost the sunglasses shop in Amity.

i guess they've combined what was there with the shop that was in amity.

Amusement Pics got some great photos from around Uni today.

The side of Shrek is now lacking the promo posters for various NBC shows.

Simpsons midway games progress.

The relocated Pearl Factory is now open for business.

Areas of Seuss are being refurbed.

Hatetofly, those markers were probably for some new tents. One is where the markers in front of BMG were and an additional one was set up at Hard Rock's entrance.

Good call BJC on the tents, still don't know wtf they are there for though Also forgot to mention they are keeping several lifts and loads of paint supplies behind the Cat. Really happy to see continuous love for Suess.
