Work to the right of the IOA entrance . . .

Does anyone have a clue as to what this work is for?

Color me curious...

could it just be utilities since IOA is adding a whole new band of automated ticket machines like USF just got?

I think that's a good guess, automated ticket machines for IoA. I was thinking maybe a store, but that'd be weird placement right next to the park's entrance.

Expanding the basketball courts for NBA Cafe, perhaps?

Expanding the basketball courts for NBA Cafe, perhaps?

Are they that popular though?

No clue.

Just thought it could be another possibility. But utilities work makes a little more sense.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Looks like they're adding or expanding something level to the pathway. My gut was either widening the pathway into IoA, adjustments to HR dept infront, or something with Potter.

They seem to be doing a lot of utilities work lately, so that would be my first guess. I hope they finish with the water line they've been working with in the Rockit queue soon. I wouldn't be surprised if they also took the opportunity to access other lines running under there as well, though.

Don't think anyone has taken a picture of it. But the Hollywood Rip, Ride Rockit Overflow Queue is being torn up. I was told by a TM that the reasoning is because there are utility pipes that run under the queue that go to Transformers that need to be re-routed and such.

Both to be done during downtime I assume

Corrosion mitigation? Popeye isn't rusty

Per Orlando Theme Park News' latest update, it seems a new snack stand has popped up in KidZone:

Universal is really pushing the snack sales, and stepping it up with the look of their stands, huh? :thumbs:

 

[King_K.]

All these new snack stands are really exceptionally themed.

Somewhere in IoA is getting "panelling" from this company:http://www.iastage.com InterAmerica Stage, Inc.

Looking at their portfolio, they do acoustic paneling in dark rides to help with noise. So FJ, Cat, or Spidey. I guess Poseidon as well.

A little birdie told me the RotM building bathrooms are now re opened.
