Cartooniversal – one of the oldest structures on the Upper Lot – has been demolished. The retail store closed earlier this month after years of operation, with Universal planning to replace the aging structure with a new a two-story multi-use space that will house retail, park services and guest amenities.
Though not formally announced, the new structure will likely house a section for Hello Kitty – a brand that Universal partnered with in 2015 to create interactive in-park experiences. The new building is also expected to be a part of Universal Boulevard, which debuted earlier this year as a multi-use venue for retail, dining and entertainment.
