I saw a video where it looks like that got pulled out and Minions Cafe got expanded. It's hard to tell for sure with the construction walls still up.

Hollywood has a window built into the side with a counter kind of like Luigi's.

I'm seriously having trouble envisioning what other (if any) "Minion Land" visuals we'll get to this stretch of Production Central. We know the soundstage aesthetic is likely staying with current construction where it is and the "Villain-Con at Universal Studios Florida" theming which I think is fine but how does MInion Cafe play into that look? At Hollywood it's themed to a city street which fits more into the New York brownstone theming than anything in production central currently. Are they going for a completely unique look at the Orlando version? Will they incorporate some of these design features into the rest of "Illumination Avenue" or will it exist on it's own little island with not interplay with the rest of the buildings? Production Central is already a thematic cluster so I don't think any answer will be any worse than what we already have but it would nice for some kind of improvement overall.

Here is Minion Cafe over in Hollywood for reference...

Do we think the soundstages could be in for a bright yellow paint job or will they stick with the current outdated early-2000s color scheme? I still vote for a return to the classic white soundstage look from the opening park if they're set on sticking with the production central theme.

The new Minions Cafe will be more city themed, but I don't think it'll stick out as much as this one.

After the success of Minion Park at USJ, I'm surprised UOR didn't expedite this project.(Opened 5 years ago)

Sounds like they will be repainted the same color and just have some posters put on them

If they changed the two front soundstages then they would have to do all of them

I'm not sure a small start up company like Universal could afford so much paint

Isn’t the trim on the side, and the roof the queue purple? Is that how it was for Shrek?

My assumption is that it would remain a beverage stand themed to Minions. They'll probably have banana icees, lol

Really intrigued to see the capacity of this attraction. The queue seems to be nothing but boring switchbacks and some TVs.

There’s a little more queue inside, probably themed as Villain-Con convention floor.

Do you guys think they’ll use the whole height of the soundstage for the screens and set pieces? I’m trying to imagine the scale of the scenes

WHy would they? the idea is to look straight ahead not up and around so depending on how close we are to the screen, I wouldn't expect anything over 15ft.

This right here is wish fulfillment for everyone. Kids will enjoy laughing at it, and their parents will enjoy shooting it.

Even if it’s during the goodbye or opening scene, just gimme something physical here and not be a walkway of screen shooting.

There will be physical things mixed with the screens. Whether or not they actually move, I do not know.
