Daily 5 report for Sept. 12: Where will the GM-Hyundai relationship end up?
While nothing has been promised or is happening now between GM and Hyundai, the potential is huge.
Universal Studios Store expansion to feature Super Nintendo, Wizarding World
Universal Orlando has confirmed that construction walls at Universal CityWalk are standing in front of an expansion of its Universal Studios Store.
The new areas will have direct theme-park ties. They will be tied to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter and to Super Nintendo World, which is one of the lands planned for Universal’s under-construction Epic Universe theme park. Wizarding World also will be represented at Epic with Ministry of Magic attractions, joining scenes from Hogwarts at Islands of Adventure and Diagon Alley at Universal Studios Florida theme park.
The Potter area in the CityWalk store also will sell butterbeer — including the cold, frozen, hot and vegan varieties — at a dedicated counter, Universal says.
The spaces at the CityWalk store, located on the complex’s main level, were leased to non-Universal businesses previously.
The latest store expansion and Epic are both scheduled to open sometime in 2025. Universal CityWalk already is the home of an Epic preview center that features merchandise and a large model that uses augmented reality to showcase the future attractions.
