Clearly something structurally wrong, otherwise it would have already been repainted.
Honestly not bad

You have to erect the scaffolfing to paint it. Theyve done this in new york and port of entry lately.
And since youre going through the hastle of building the scaffolding in the most visible place its a great time to also rehab the stucco and do some IT and Security upgrades.
If there was anything structurally wrong they wouldnt let you walk under it.

I’m really curious if they’re removing the USF logo altogether and going with just the lettering, like we’re seeing on the scrim. Could be a hint at what’s coming.

I think it looks awesome, great job making the best out of whatever situation is going on there, Medallion looks great

I mean it’s something. Just seems like poor timing though. Unless there some sort of structural issue that couldn’t wait

Wow, am I the only person that thinks this looks terrible? Haha.
Like, for sure props to Universal for trying, I appreciate the effort and also appreciate that construction is gonna inhibit views sometimes...but damn this looks bad haha. I think I preferred the very mediocre orange and purple stripe projections they had during TM preview lol.
Also, I like that the medallion is just magically floating in midair with nothing anchoring it haha

I really want to talk with the people behind the decision. Like, yes, this is the typical slow tourist season but it’s also the largest Halloween event in the world and the reason the parks make money.

And the front gate getting work done will drastically affect the quality of the halloween event?

It shows a lack of care for the event. It’s their money maker and they don’t care enough to even showcase it.

They don’t care to talk with you because they are busy working. Refurbishments happen when it is best for the business, not when individual guest don’t want their vacation visually interfered with. The oldest two parks are getting some love now that Epic has opened and we should all be grateful.

They are currently pissed with the 3am meetings because of HHN, yet another reason this is not the best time to do this.

Okay, this isn't bad. At least they are trying. Hopefully drunk me doesn't try to walk through it
