Some very interesting developments on the way.

 

[Jonathan]

How close is the USH evolution plan, to being approved and finalized by the city? Once that is finalized how soon should we expect construction?

 

[Jon Fu]

We're currently waiting for the neighborhood to voice their concerns or opinions.

It's already gone through the city and county at this point.

 

[Jonathan]

How long do the neighbors have to voice their concerns? Then once thats over, how long till construction starts?

 

[UniversalFan]

Ok, so there has been a confirmed Central Park in the area...

 

[Allen The Actor]

Honestly, I'll take a nice new central park area over an almost abandoned WWW arena anyday....

 

[Jon Fu]

How long do the neighbors have to voice their concerns? Then once thats over, how long till construction starts?

At this point, we're not exactly sure. We already know underlying work has already been laid out for Harry Potter and the Gibson. As for everything else, there hasn't been a reliable time frame given.

When i first saw that a couple days ago, i was stopped in my tracks. It was a very weird feeling....although not as weird as looking at T2 being torn up....

Wow it feels weird to be able to see the Animal Actors that clearly from there.

 

[Allen The Actor]

So, is Universal watering down the meaning of attraction yet again??? As Chris also noted on Facebook, Universal's Facebook page is promoting the CONSTRUCTION WALLS as a "fun photo op". Are you serious?????

 

[Allen The Actor]

Ok, but...they're advertising CONSTRUCTION walls. How is that smart? It isn't, at all. If they like it when they arrive, ok, cool, but to advertise construction walls is beyond silly...

 

[Jon Fu]

Could be worse when you think about it.

Could be "Walls: The Ride."

 

[Allen The Actor]

The Imagineer in me can actually make a cool ride out of that idea

 

[Jon Fu]

"On the left, you have a European-themed wall, and on the right, a wall themed after little Mexico. Coming up, an actual wall from the movie Bean..."

But on a more serious note, I appreciate that they're at least making something good out of the construction at the park. I wouldn't say that they're advertising the walls, but along the lines of "Hey, if you happen to be at the park, here's what you can do..." kind of thing.

 

[Allen The Actor]

^ Ehh, you're right, I just think it's silly. I TOTALLY appreciate the themed construction walls and the props, but idk, it just seemed...silly to me...you get me? I wish they would find another way to compensate for a missing attraction and construction walls. I have faith in them

Moves to the City Council now.

 

[Jonathan]

This is great news! Let's get this thing going!!!

 

[Allen The Actor]

So excited! Hopefully this will speed Potter construction a bit faster!
