Universal Corner

oi-universal-orlando-citywalk-at-night-july-2011-823.jpg

After guest pass through the elspande, guess will come here before going to Islands Of Adventures and Wonders and Universal Isle Studios. This is similar to Universal Citywalk and Downtown Disney/ Disney Springs.
When entering the district, guests will pass under the monorail station; Laemmle Piazza; modeled after London Bridge station's roofing and Manchester Piccadilly station's base structure, and will have two tracks running through.

Like UOR's Citywalk, Universal Corner has two levels at the entry before coming down to the canal and most shops and restaurants will be found at ground level. However unlike UOR Citywalk, there will be two garden placed on opposite sides of the canal, and a trolley will be present, stops will be at will be at Laemmle Piazza; entering arcade; Los Angeles Wharf; north east of Laemmle Piazza and south east of the canal; Spielberg Docks; north of the canal; and Streamliner Bazaar; north west of Laemmle Piazza and south west of the canal.

We'll start on the upper level first of Citywalk first. After guest board off the monorail or ride the escalators or the elevators, they can find the Cineplex movie theatre a few paces from the station on the left hand side, and accessible on the top level and ground level. Coming down from the Cineplex side will be Ben & Jerry's, Johnny Rocket's, Hart and Hungtington Tattoo Shop, and Blockbuster City. Coming from the right hand side of the Laemmle Piazza monorail station, we find; from top level and descending down to ground level; will be Cinnabon Center, NBC Sports Grill & Brew (top entrance) , Cornstalk Bakery and Popcorn Stop, Movie Magicians(movie memorabilia and fashion designing)and Universal Studios Store(top entrance).Back on ground level below next to Cineplex, and coming down towards the end of avenue will be Coldstone Creamery, Fossil, Clothier Palace, The Firehouse Smokehouse, Universal Globetrotter Arcade, and Sweetropolis. On the right hand side of the avenue is Red Oven Pizza Bakery, NBC Sport Grill & Brew, Riches of The Rivera, District Dazzlers, Universal Studios Store; the biggest store made by Universal, and covering two stories.

At the end of the avenue, guests will find a garden dedicated to Universal's biggest movies and actors and actresses. Near by is the Global Ferris Wheel, themed after the Universal Studios icon. In the area guess will find a massive Tech Deco themed music studio; home to Hard Rock Cafe.

Southwest of the canal will be a more industrial looking area, but will still host a variety of shops and restaurants. Up next is Iceman's Yogurt Shop, Moderner's Wonderland, Iron Dragon Pub, Miner's Millions, Wonder Factory, Ticker & Tock's Cafe & Store, and Hangar 52.
North of the canal will be a more coastal area of Corner nestled between the entrances of IOAAW and UIS. Here guest will find Coastal Grotto Swim, Surf, & Snorkel Shop, Archipelago Grill, Margaritaville, Bubba Gump Shrimp Co., and many more. Here will also be the docks for the Universal Resort ferry services that goes to the main passenger wharf, and to the hotels.

While I'm doing Texas Disneyland Resort, I'd like to talk about the Universal Isle Studios' layout; clockwise; again.

Starting off with the entrance is Hollywood, which will be more like Universal Singapore's Hollywood but with a little more. ;)
Next we have Production Square; covering both east and west of the southern part of Universal Isle Studios and north of Hollywood. This is also a great place to catch the nighttime spectacular on the lake.
A little northwest is Hogsmeade Village, a clone of IOA but better than what IOA or USJ/ USH has, and will connect with London using the Hogwarts Express.
North will be a new land unlike what Universal has ever done before; Monsterwoods. Monsterwoods is about Universal's most recognizable movie monsters like The Wolfma, The Creature of The Black Lagoon, and Van Helsing.
Continuing eastward is Shrek's Swamplands and Far Far Away where you can find the lovable green ogre.
On the northeast corner of the park is London, which houses Diagon Alley and the Ministry Of Magic, as well as "muggle" London itself. The quickest way to get to Hogsmeade Village is by Hogwarts Express at King's Cross station, Platform 9 3/4.
South of London and over a stone bridge, is The City Of Lights; Paris.
Walking further south back to Production Square is the Sci-Fi Springs, based on Sci-Fi city from USS.
Blending in with Sci-Fi Springs is New York City, a much better themed New York City compared to USO's NYC.
After editing through Chinatown, NYC, we come into the Valley Of Peace, where you can train with the panda master of Kung Fu, Po.
Over another bridge, we come to Seussville; the Fantasyland of Universal Isle resort.
Nearing Production Square, we come across the Suburbs, where you can ride with the famous yellow skinned family; The Simpsons, or play with Gru and his Minions.
And that's all for Universal Isle Studios' layout. If you have any suggestions, feel free to do so.
Next time, we'll go into the home of Universal Studios, Hollywood.
