 » April 1, 2008 Resort Update

 

 

April 1, 2008

 

Greetings, Adventurers!

 

Today's update features a handful of photos of the happenings around Universal - from Ellen, to Harry Potter construction. Keep in mind, Mardi Gras is still going on each Saturday for the next three weeks. The event ends on April with a concert by Earth, Wind & Fire.

 

Work comes close to a wrap on the exterior of the Simpsons Ride.

 

You can keep track of the progress of the building on our Simpsons construction page.

 

 

 

This video shows Krusty's eyes spinning.

 

Construction has begun on a temporary bridge that will connect The Lost Continent to Jurassic Park, while a majority of the island is shut down for Harry Potter construction.

 

 

The bridge will connect from a path across from Poseidon's Fury all the way to the former Island Skipper Tours dock in front of Discovery Center.

 

 

 

 

 

This aerial photograph shows approximately where the bridge will be, and how much of the park will be shut down for the construction.

 

The Jurassic Park Discovery Center is closed for enhancements.

 


"Deal or no Deal" advertisements can be spotted throughout the park.

 

Almost to the point of absurdity. I guess NBC is really pushing it, eh? How about some Office billboards or something?
