Universal Orlando News & Planning Thread

Yes. I think they have an actual towel person to get them from again, but I can’t remember for sure. There’s a nice bar, and there are servers to bring you drinks and food and they have cabanas to rent if you like.

That’s a fantastic rate for Sapphire Falls.

The new permanent food booth in Minion Land is now open. It’s serving humus, “everything” pretzels, fruit and vegan items. Seems like a nice place to get something other than popcorn or fries…

I thought it was going be a churro stand. I feel cheated.

I am surprised that, for a booth in Minion Land, they don’t sell frozen chocolate covered bananas. I guess they decided to forego any kind of theming of the food to the land.

You’d feel even more cheated if you’ve ever had a Universal churro!! (sorry…not sorry!)

I’ve given up on them! Stale sticks dusted in a bland “sugar-like” coating!!

There are those entire “Minions Cafe” and “Bake My Day” places I keep hearing about! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: :crazy_face:

So have them or not, I’ll feel cheated? :frowning: I just sit here and have a cup of chocolate milk.

We can split an “Everything” pretzel or something next time!

I am glad these are no longer food trucks or pop-up tents! I’ve sworn off most of UORs seasonal "treats’, but might get something from one of these. Now that they have running water, refrigeration and ovens the food should be better! :crossed_fingers:

Sure. I just mean…if you are going to go to the effort of converting an area of the park into a themed land, even the food booths you would expect to match. Like…would you expect to find pizza slices in a food booth in the middle of Diagon Alley? Just feels out of place here in much the same way.

I get it… I was being silly!

“Technically… It’s right outside, on the border, of Minions Land”… :crazy_face: :rofl: :rofl:

USF is going to need to redefine what is “Production Central” after Minions opens…

Is RRR now a Minions ride or is it part of ‘New York’?? What is Production Central now?? :man_shrugging:

Today’s Minion Land update…

The Bank of Evil store front lettering is done! Plus, the Minions have colored in the “Bello!” graffiti

It is weird. The displays make it seem like they intend this to be temporary.

Could they intend to shift it around once the ride opens?

IMHO - It looks like the Universal Legacy Store and the former Betty Boop store. I think this is the Universal “style” for gift shops now…

It is supposed to be the ride exit, so that may be why it’s a little more bare too. They need more room to exit.

I wish they’d clear out more space in the gift shop that Bourne exits into. It’s so hard to leave the theatre with people stopping to look at items and such…
