Daaaaang, that Pier 41 looks really purty.

Figure I'd venture down to Portifino Hotel since I haven't been in a while. Nothing really going on just some touching up around the hotel.

Has there been any progress on the Universal Store?

Has there been any progress on the Universal Store?

Yes, but it's covered. They should be fully open by the time Transformers grand opens, and it should double the size of the store.

Not sure where to put this, but I noticed a couple of things for Despicable Me 2. You can take your picture and have it E-mailed to you outside of ride, they have a few styles to pick from. Also down by the make up show, they changed that curved sign that you can take photos in:





We had great weather this weekend and the family had a wonderful vacation. Thanks as always Universal!

Good, I always thought that store was too small to be the emporium of USF...

It is always nice to see painting, especially remembering how everything in IOA looked in 2011... :Shivers:

Thanks for the update, HTF!

Do you think the FFL roof is being re-done for the normal maintenance reasons, or do you think it could be undergoing some upgrading for another reason, like holding fireworks, etc.?


PS: Again, guys, can we not quote the entire photo updates and cause unnecessary scrolling? Thanks! :thumbs:

I think it's normal maintenance reasons. nothing I saw on the permits stuck out as anything substantial.

It's routine maintenance. But the building already has 5 pyro launch sites on it.

Cool, thanks for the info guys! :thumbs:

Thanks for that. I cannot wait to see it.

I really appreciate it.

I am going to UNI for a big trip this Thanksgiving. Havent been since 2007....so excited for the new stuff. Is FFL a seasonal show, or is it open year-round?
