CityWalk

 

[Fan2CSkr]

I love looking at these pictures! Thanks for posting them for us all. I wonder when they are taken they arent live at that moment right? Are they old shots? I rarely see any people!

 

[GreyStr0ke]

They are definitely not newer shots. They still show The Nick building with the original paint colors.

 

[Akdar]

I think they are from 2006 sometime, as it looks like the High in the Sky Trolley is finished in this pic??

 

[Akdar]

Also, this zoomed in CityWalk shot is the old Nascar Cafe as far as I can tell, then again, I haven't been there since they refurbished it.

I don't think the trolley is finished here. The roofs are all filled with things now that you can view from the trolley and it doesn't look like there is anything on the roofs at all here. Also, the huge globes from Rock the Universe are not in the shots of Unversal Studios. Were they not up last summer?

I'm looking and trying to see what is missing to try and figure out when they are taken. Bubba Gumps is not even started and the area around the plane beside Margaritaville is completely different now than in those pictures. Anyone know when they enhanced the bar area there?

Fear Factor is there, so the pictures are within the last couple of years.

Two years ago, pretty much to the date the new area at Matgaritaville appeared.

Fear Factor opened in the summer of 2005, so these pictures must have been taken around two years ago. The Fear Factor sign is up but I can't tell if it is just being built.

So the pictures are at least two years old.

 

[Akdar]

Then they need to update them , I want to see the Blue Man Group building from above!

 

[GreyStr0ke]

I agree with you Akdar. That was the first thing I was looking for when I started using the program. I was hoping that they were up to date shots but after seeing the green and orange colors on the Nick building I got the impression that they may be a tad outdated.

CityWalk

They were filming a new movie, "Bring It On 4", in Citywalk while we were there last week. There were cheerleading squads from all over and they were holding a "competition" on the stage. The groups looked to be mostly college age, but not related to a particular college. The moves some of these groups did were unbelievable .
