For the tacos, what they need to do is a simple "pick a shell/pick a protien". Then have a nearby toppings bar. Boom! Done. Fast, fresh, and millennial proof.
the question is...will sand get into the toppings bar too?
I noticed that too. Part of the reason I think they want it to come back in some form.Sorry to keep chiming on Tacogate, but it still shows a Taco sampler on the menu on the official website in addition to the hot dog and nachos. Can anyone confirm if this is true?

There's still a chance they come back with tacos, just reinvented, hopefully less like soggy cardboard.
Maybe.
were they trying to use crunchy shells? They would need to use a soft shell, or a corn/wheat mix shell. A soft shell might get nasty in the humidity, but a crunchy shell would just fall apart
So? If it ends up being a resort only water park, it ends up being a resort only water park. Disney, with all of its rooms can't even sustain a resort only water park- so if universal could, all the better for them and all the better reason to stay on-site.
I'm sure two things will happen- crowds will slow a little and capacity will increase with the future expansion.
The new hotel rooms will offset some of that- but a 4th park will offset it even more.
The bottom line is, with 3 parks- UOR hasn't even gotten close to what all they could do with extra hours.
1- expand hours to VB/IoA/USF beyond just Christmas week and middle of summer instead of just VB/IoA or VB/USF.
2- expand to an extra evening hour in addition to the morning hour
3- expand the number of attractions. Open more of- or even the entire park instead of just HP.
Tons of flexibility.
If it ends up that Universal needs 2 water parks- they aren't land locked anymore and can easily put another park at site b.
Again- flexibility. Space. Land. A plethora of resort guests. All luxuries that are new to Universal.
For sure.
As it stands now- partner hotels get early entry- but only if they book a vacation package through universal. There are several hotels involved- so I'm sure it's a decent amount that come in via that option. Although I'd have a hard time believing they book 4600 (wdw rooms+ aventura) of those packages each trip.
I think Universal under estimated the appeal of having a water park adjacent to so many rooms. They knew it would be a great selling feature, but totally unprepared for how popular.
It's like, neither Disney or Universal, has read the Unofficial Guide to Disney World. The most popular thing in all of Disney World for kids is the hotel pool. Well, Universal built a jaw dropping hotel pool. I think they may want to rethink the pools at the new WnW resorts. Each one should have a lazy river and a multi slide tower.
And I do expect for Universal to drop the partner hotels. Maybe after the WnW resorts open. Maybe after the south campus.
They know how to do a taco bar. It's a regular feature of the backstage cantinas.
Note: you can make a taco salad, tacos, or nachos. You paid by weight.
Nacho cheese and sour cream don't weight much and neither do chips.
Many many a waistline was ruined.
Edit: It just occurred to me they could solve many of their problems with guest abusing toppings/bars/fountains if they just did it the way you do backstage - pay by weight.
That would really extend lines....imagine a family of 5 waiting to all weigh their lunch, and calculate their price? Would be madness.
