Construction walls up around Garden of Allah

[Mike S]

Construction walls have gone up around the Garden of Allah in USF and a rumor from Orlando United says it could be to turn it into some kind of museum for the 25th anniversary of the park.

If it is for some kind of museum this could be pretty cool.

Glad to see something new is coming to the Universal Orlando Resort as they really do need a Museum as a Tribute to past Attractions and Shows and Characters and movies

 

[Nick Wilde]

I'd been hearing rumors about it for a while now. Glad to see they're using that wasted space.

 

[Adam Santos]

yea it would be Awesome to see Universal have their own Museum just like they have with the " I Love Lucy " Tribute ( Building ) if Universal plays it smart they should just tear down the Garden of Allah as it is wasted Space and they could put the Museum into that space and whatever Props and costumes and signage they had from past Attractions like Rides and Shows and movies they could Display it so people can Learn a little about Universal Studios Florida History while on vacation in Orlando

Museums don't need to be in theme parks. Just my 2 cents.

The way I think about it is something like all the displays in One Mans Dream at DHS but for Universal.

You shut your mouth, OMD is awesome.

Museums don't need to be in theme parks. Just my 2 cents.

And then we'd be missing out on things like the lower decks of the Sailing Ship Columbia, Liberty and Discovery Arcades, the Carousel of Progress, One Man's Dream, or Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln.

It's GREAT to see this space being used! I love visiting the NBC Universal Experience at USH, so anything like that would be great - especially something based around the 25th anniversary of the park.

No reason they can't use the existing buildings. If you put something larger there, it will ruin the charm of the area.

Gardens of Allah is tiny... and if anything, it means they can move some of the Lucille Ball memorabilia to there and use Lucy's space for a larger Shrek replacement.

The Hollywood area is shaping up to get a pretty big revamp:

• Universal 25th anniversary museum
• E.T. relocation (entrance is apparently going to be between the museum and Cafe La Bamba)
• Horror Makeup updates? (not sure if they'll do anything with this)
• T2 update/replacement (possibly Star Trek)

the museum is just to flesh out Universal's offerings. It needs more A, B and C ticket-esque experiences throughout the parks.

I hear you, I just don't like the term museum. Was thinking they could use a word more exciting. Average person don't want to go to a musuem. However saying something such as "Experience" "Voyage" could be a bit more attractive.

I Just dont want guests after UNI spending the money to brush it off because it says Museum.

Furthermore, I do like the idea of a larger Shrek replacement. Put Lucy's things in there would help. I'm guilty for liking the exhibits and sightings scattered through the park though.

Regardless looking forward too it.

Think of it as 25 years of Universal in Florida.

And it certainly isn't the best or all they are doing

 

[Oriolesmagic]

Could it be their Blue Sky Cellar? (Would be painfully hilarious if Uni got one before Disney World.)

Yea we're also getting King Kong where your vehicle moves around video screens like the boring parts of old Epcot Center rides.

You seem to know all about it. Please do elaborate.

Your ignorance is impressive.

Your ignorance is impressive.

Unless you have access to the design documents or are intimately familiar with the project you have no right to say that.
