Universal Studios Update: Minion Land Tour, Starbucks Refurbishment, & More (PART 1)

Good morning, and welcome to our newest Universal Studios Florida photo-report! We have a lot to see this time around, so let's begin our tour of the park by exploring the all-new Minion Land:

 

 

The sign in front of the land's entrance was recently modified:

The "hair" of two of the minions has been changed as the previous version could have been a hazard to Guests:

 

The new Minion-themed facades look very colorful:

 

The theming is certainly well done:

 

The Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit banners are still missing. They were taken down shortly before Hurricane Idalia's arrival:

The New York Public Library façade was recently refurbished:

 

Strong winds caused some sections to be damaged:

 

Also, as you can see, some of the sections do not line up correctly:

 

Egyptian characters were walking around New York City without their stilts:

 

The park's Starbucks location is currently closed for refurbishment:

 

A temporary location can be found just across the park's lagoon:

 

Rumors state that the park may finally receive a new nighttime spectacular next year:

 

A reimagined food booth recently opened in the San Francisco area of the park:

 

London:

 

The former Fear Factor LIVE! theater still sits unused for most of the year:

 

The MAN IN BLACK Alien Attack sign was being refurbished when we were visiting the park:
