The Condition of City Walk

[Felipe]

Antojitos is a nice name. It means little cravings in Spanish (antojo = craving) :thumbs:

 

[ParkRumors]

Two new CityWalk project numbers have popped up recently, Project 290 and Project 295. Considering Project 294 replaced the Pastamoré Market Café, it might be safe to assume that Project 295 will be replacing Pastamoré itself, given that they basically occupied the same building. As for project 290, your guess is as good as mine.

 

[Felipe]

Could 290 be Starbucks / ColdStone? or did that already have another project number?

Thanks for the find, ParkRumors! :thumbs:

 

[ParkRumors]

From the previous page:

This permit seems to confirm a Cold Stone is coming in addition to the Starbucks:

And as for the Mexican restaurant, Screamscape reported back on Nov. 8th that it'd be called 'Antojitos'.

Oops! Thanks! Hmmm, so that's 248...

Maybe 290 is for whatever is replacing the upstairs Starbucks?

Uni will be announcing more details about Diagon Alley and Cabana Bay plus Citywalk stuff next Thursday. Let the speculation begin!

I LOVE ColdStone and am STOKED to hear that one may be taking up residence in Citywalk!

CityWalk will need an ice cream shop after TCBY closes.

 

[Jwhee]

TCBY closing? and Ice cream shop will be cold stone :drool: I wonder what is replacing Katies Candy Shop?

Katie's Candies, TCBY, and Cigars makes for a large multilevel space for a new concept.

Katie's Candies, TCBY, and Cigars makes for a large multilevel space for a new concept.

As in a concept that already has... a concept?

 

[TylerDurden]

Speaking of closures, the rest of Pastamore will be gone by January. Although that's probably been mentioned already, just thought I'd throw that out there.

That makes for Pastamore, TCBY, Katie's, Cigarz, Endangered Species, and Starbucks all being closed this year. It's awesome how the expansion doesn't stop at just the parks like it very well could have. CityWalk may just be getting the most drastic revamp on property!

Screamscape is reporting the new restaurant will be a Jekyll and Hyde club. http://www.jekyllandhydeclub.com/
I think this would be a great addition.

It's pretty funny to look back at this thread now: http://www.orlandounited.com/forums/showthread.php/6041-Multi-Story-Nightclub-and-Restaurant

I completely forgot it was ever a rumor.

 

[King_K.]

If this is true, it would be amazing.

 

[Disneyhead]

I am not sure Screamscape has their facts correct. I believe the rumored Mexican restaurant will in fact be a Mexican restaurant complete with mariachi band and J&H may take the Cigars, TCBY, Katie's Candies location. But I could be wrong, it's just a hunch.

 

[Hockeyman55]

Not knowing much about J&H until I just checkout thier site and it looks liek a really cool place and something that would fit right in at Citywalk

 

[Disneyhead]

I can see, instead of Jekyll & Hyde, a Slaughtered Lamb Pub coming to CityWalk. It is a different concept from the Jekyll & Hyde folks. It is featured in An American Werewolf in London. Which was a Polygram film distributed by Universal. So there is a Universal tie in.

[Legolas813]

I would like J&H. Not only for the very awesome theme, but also looking at the menu, considering Universal makes almost zero effort to be plant-based diet friendly. This is the one thing that keeps me from visiting more often or eating on property. Time to get with the times.

 

[Jakemeister]

If we get a concept like that I just hope for the permanent haunted house. That's all I really, really want out of either concept.
