^Yeah I know. I'm just being selfish
I just can't wait for all that stuff to be over with.

You may be waiting about 20 years - lol

^ "all that stuff" is making all the other stuff possible.

AmusementPics posted some more pics of the new HP section in the Universal Studios Store....

Still some work going on at the Toon Lagoon fountains/entrance

Is RockIt still banner-less? If so, when will they be replacing it? Or will it just remain that way?

There looking into a long term fix, those banners are stupid expensive and not holding up. It's possible it stays just like it is.

Id like to see a big light up sign for it.

I vote for something like this. (With better animations that tie into music, and the HRRR logo)

The LEDs can be spaced out, and allow wind to pass straight through the structure. It would be quite expensive to start though.

:iagree: nailed it.

Think of the vibe around the park (especially at night) if they replaced the banner with an LED screen. I'm all for that (although I don't see it happening) :fist:

 

[canobie#1]

It's already crazy lit up. Might as well light it up even more!

And if not? Tear it down and build something better.

(Lol please don't kill me!)

Oh you mean, more like the original concept?

Even a permanent background with a small LED screen or 3-D letters would be nicer than the banner

 

[King_K.]

I think they should forget about the new sign and just give the lift tower a kickass LED package to match the lift rings.

 

[WolfmanJ]

I want to see the light up rings do a light show to each genre if music. For example, for rock, they can put it to Kickstart My Heart

The store renovation at the Studios is finished. They've basically pushed the store further back and moved all the checkouts to the left side of the store near the Candy Store. It's the same sort of layout as Traders at IOA.

New one line Registers.

New parts of the store.

And to bring up an old debate, they've painted over the old "mold" on the ceiling that was for the Potter display.

Also, I'm not sure how long this has been here but they've changed the Beetlejuice sign out front of the show. It used to have a clock on it to show the next show time. Now there are 2 signs either side of the show entrance listing all the show times.

Thanks for the updates, Gambit!

The new sections of the Uni Studios Store should really help with how crowded it can get in there, along with the new line for the cash registers.

Most of the store reno I find very sexy, but that register area... it is rather stark and austere; looks like something you would find at the MOMA in NYC.

I agree. Instead of framed black and white posters, a colorful mural would do wonders for behind those registers.
