Gut the place and have Universal Creative do a retro '80s take on Dave & Buster's. Call it Universal Starcade.

Great show. Sad to see it close.

Same, I love BMG, glad I got to see them at this location a few years ago.

I loved that show! I took my agents to see them when we did training at Universal and we had a great time!

Universal: Blue Man Group won’t reopen in Orlando

Blue Man Group’s production at Universal Orlando has closed for good, the resort has confirmed. The show, featuring smooth-headed, silent, blue-painted men, had been dark since the resort clo…

That was abrupt. I really enjoyed the show the couple times I saw it, but it never seemed like the best location for it. It would be nice if they relocated elsewhere in Orlando, but I doubt they will.

Hopefully they return this area to the park instead of letting it sit empty, waiting around for productions wanting to use it, or turning it into some meh CityWalk concept.

I was looking forward to seeing it again. I never saw the new ending of the show. I guess Cirque was the downfall of the show.

We've seen the show four times during its run. My son and I actually were on stage for one of their bits. I really liked their creativity and the show music.

Dang that's too bad... I saw that show 3 times at Universal, and once on tour at The Peace Center in Greenville SC.

Really wanted to take my brother in law to see it.

A show in two parts that you have to spend an entire day to see or two nights in a row doesn’t really work at theme parks.

Yes, this means I don’t have to see that ridiculous Blue Man Group marquee sign in front of Minion Mayhem anymore.

Whenever I was in Orlando I thought "Blue Man Group is always something I can see in Vegas"

I didn't view it as an "exclusive" show, so I never prioritized going to see it, and never did. And now I won't ever get to see it at all.

You can still see it in the places it didn't close. Well, eventually.

I wonder if there are any plans to address that overall area? Uni is kinda capped on space in the current location. But if you remove BM from the equation and incorporate the strip that serves as the alternate walkway between Rip and One Fish - Could you put a land (or mini land) in there? Or at the very least some more dining/entertainment options?

Well if they bring back hhn this year then it could be quite awesome to have an extra house this year.

It's still actively being used for film/tv production. The Requim, The Right Stuff, David Makes Man, (and tons of smaller projects/commercials) etc. It's been more active than usual lately because of the covid situation elsewhere. That area is going to remain production related.
