- Sushi Restaurant (Not Swanky) Building is FAKE, just an Aesthetic Store front.
Holiday Special Events have been listed on our employee site, they are asking for people to apply to work the Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas Events. I'm signing up for the Halloween Events most definitely. But even with all that Universal is finally building... It was the worst decision to remove Back to the Future, they should have built it next to it instead... If you live in Orlando and are not a Universal Employee but love the Simpsons, be sure to sign up at the end of this Summer for Seasonal Simpsons positions. Halloween Horror Nights (1st Tree House of Horrors Live!!!)
They are projected to finish by the end of this Summer before the next HHN. Transformers will be open to the public the end of the 2nd week of June, the Harry Potter Diagon Alley and Troll Bank will be finished by this Christmas. Universal acquired the rights to the Lord of the Rings and will finish building the Shire in Islands of Adventure next to the Marvel World by the end of 2014.
Thank you so much for all of your great info! :mrgreen:
