After a huge Islands of Adventure update, wouldn't you expect a huge Universal Studios update?
Well, here it is! Let's take a look at the park in general, with a focus on the old Hard Rock Cafe' building (that has been included in many recent rumors) and at the other attractions in the park:

  3. Great report Sam!!! Just a question: which are the rumors about the old Hard Rock Cafe' building?
    can you tell something about, please?

  4. Hard Rock is being used as a Office/storage space according to Screamscape. Said to see such prime space being used like that. Oh well, but we got the same situation over in Epcot in multiple locations.
