Spongebob Shellebration Sept. 7-8 at Universal Studios Hollywood

[UniversalFan]

None of us saw this coming to the park. So pretty much, Uni's Facebook announced that a Spongebob event will be coming to USH next month. No idea why it came, but it was just announced.


This seems like an unofficial goodbye to that area.

Will they be removing Nickelodeon Stuff for Potter?

 

[UniversalFan]

I'm pretty sure. I think they will spare the restrooms over there though

I heard about this last month, I just didn't care. XD I like a few episodes of Spongebob tho.

 

[Allen The Actor]

I love Spongebob. More so the old seasons but I think he's timeless! And so beloved. I'd love a Spongebob ride and I really hope that Kid Zone in Florida (besides ET, whose entrance can be moved elsewhere), can turn into a Bikini Bottom land!

 

[Miss Betty Juice]

Btw the bathrooms are going bye bye. And the entire area will be walled off by then too.

 

[UniversalFan]

Wow. Well, it's going to be a bottleneck location again, well... Kinda. No one really goes in Curious George

 

[Ryan]

Uhh why are they doing this days after removing the Nickelodeon store?

 

[Jon Fu]

I really don't understand the timing of this event.


Then again, I don't really understand the event itself. Are they having a fan convention or is it a casual meet-and-greet with the show's staff?

It's open to everyone in the park that day but space is going to be limited. Meet and greets, merchandise, kind of a mini Spongebob Con from what I gathered.

Where exactly is this event being held in the park??

 

[Ryan]

Probably the Globe theater. I'll look into it, but that's my best guess.

The patio in front of Gibson is a possible choice... but that means this will be its very last event. (the venue will become a construction zone on the 10th) 

That would be really sad.

 

[Bonkers]

Anyone going to the event?

 

[Jon Fu]

Nope. Haha.

 

[Allen The Actor]

I actually wish I would've made it to the cast reading inside SES. That would've been so great!


Oh, and as Chris mentioned on Facebook, I'm curious how beat up or worn out the water play area will look after they remove the spongebob rigging and stage haha.

 

[Ryan]

Nope. Haha.

Okay I'm so glad to be on vaca now.

Iwas there. It was great!

How was the turnout?

 

[ItsAtrap]

The theater was about half full. A very enthusiastic crowd.
