Greetings, Adventurers!
Today's Resort Update features
close to 70 photographs featuring the latest happenings around
Universal Orlando including Potter construction, Guts tryouts,
Mummy enhancements, the return of Universal 360 and much more.
In the spotlight:
- Brendan Fraser visits Universal - Mummy star
Brendan Fraser is scheduled to make an appearance at Universal
Studios Florida on July 11. He will be premiering an exclusive
clip from The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor in front of
the Revenge of the Mummy attraction, followed by a Question &
Answer session with park guests. The event begins at 2:00pm.
- Open Late! - Universal and Islands of Adventure are
open until 10:00pm from now until August 16th, and with later
hours, nighttime show "Universal 360" returns.
- Celebrate the 4th at Universal - Universal has
three ways visitors can celebrate the 4th of July. At 10:00pm
at Universal Studios Florida, a special presentation of
Universal 360 will be held - complete with a special patriotic
finale. Islands of Adventure will offer special extended hours
until 11:00pm, and CityWalk will hold special All-American
barbeque from 5pm-9pm. Fireworks will not be visible from
Islands of Adventure or CityWalk due to construction on new
park attractions.
In some sad and otherwise unspoken news, The Flying
Unicorn will close to guests on July 7th as Harry Potter
construction overtakes the back end of The Lost Continent.
While this has not yet been confirmed by Universal,
several IOACentral sources have told us otherwise.
Hogwarts construction continues, and it's done nothing
but grown in the past two weeks.
I don't know how long this sign has been here, but it's
new to me.
A bit raunchy for a T-Shirt, eh? That's why we love
you, Universal.
Nickelodeon is bringing back their old show "GUTS," and
best of all - it's going to be filming at Universal
Studios Florida later this year, right where it filmed oh
so many years ago. The show will be debuting on Nick at
Nite this Fall/Winter. Tryouts were held at Universal
CityWalk for the show.
