The Tribute Stores Thread

[DodgsonHere]

Jaws is evergreen-- whether you've seen any of the movies or not, everyone knows Jaws. Really doesn't matter if it's represented by an attraction in the park, it still sells merchandise.

But we still want that attraction

I would buy something from the stores... I don't know what, though... maybe, a stuffed E.T., but I never thought he was cute... he looks kinda ugly... (My mom thought this too...) maybe, a stuffed Jaws... I think sharks are cute... because the truth is, I love animals... even buzzards and donkeys look cute... but I have an irrational fear of bats like Ace Ventura...

I never got to know Danielle, but finally someone addressed the lack of buzzard merch at Universal

And for that, I think we can all at least be a little thankful for his time here

Any idea on when the current tribute store will close to make way for the HHN store?

Probably middle of August.

Does anyone remember when the Jurassic tribute store last year closed for HHN? I really despise how Universal is reluctant to reveal a close date for this year.

If "let's all go to the lobby" isn't playing at the entrance, we riot.

What a surprise

 

[PerceptiveCoot]

It would be neat if the theater marquee gets more elaborate over time.

Dead Coconut Club is but just a great pun but should be an overlay too.

From the official press release:

For the first time ever, the scares taking root in the streets of Universal Studios Florida will bleed into the theme of the Halloween Horror Nights Tribute Store with a collection of incredibly detailed environments inspired by the iconic Halloween haunts featured throughout the event. Guests will shop the latest Halloween Horror Nights merchandise and treats as they venture through a Pumpkin Patch, Cemetery and Witch’s Cottage – eventually making their way to the final room – an elaborate Halloween festival set in the same town as the store’s neighboring scare zone, “Sweet Revenge.”

I love how the store is going to blend in with the story outside. It's so cool seeing the store grow as a concept and part of the experience.

The art for the originals on the website seems to skew a bit bolder and more towards a fun vs. dark and gritty. All of the concepts sound fun.


...when's the next announcement? (I'm kidding, but I do want to see full merch and food offerings).

 

[Kichkinet85]

So excited for the pumpkin patch room! I actually said to a friend how cool would it be to see a pumpkin patch themed room. Maybe see lil boo and the pumpkin lord?

We're gonna lock this thread and make a respective thread for each store.
