December 9, 2013 – The Hollywood Minute is back with yet another update. As we all know, Universal is currently undergoing some major changes in preparation for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter – but here are a few smaller things that you might have missed.
1 » NBCUniversal Experience Updates
The NBCUniversal Experience recently added costumes and props from Universal’s newest film The Best Man Holiday and from the British-comedy film Hot Fuzz.
2 » Finlays’ New Menu
Finlays not only closed to get a new paint job, but also a new menu. Coffee is no longer served from this location, and churros and pretzels are now baked fresh.
3 » New York Tap Dancers
Universal has been slowly improving their streetmosphere – and it shows! New York street now features a great little 5 minute show featuring some impressive tap dancing.
4 » Evil Minions
After the massive success of Despicable Me 2, it was only a matter of time till we saw some evil minions in the park. Well, they’re here, and they’re causing quite the commotion!
5 » Grinchmas Merchandising is Here
With Grinchmas in full swing, Universal has reintroduced some memorable merchandising from Dr. Seuss.
6 » Simpsons Brickwork
Meanwhile, Android’s Dungeon & Baseball Card Shop received some new detailed brickwork on its facade.
That does it for this month’s quick Hollywood Minute. Have a tip? Be sure to comment below and we’ll try to cover it in next month’s update. For now, thanks for reading!
