Grand Avenue construction - Jue 10 2023

A section of Grand Avenue is behind construction walls as work begins on what looks like a new snack area.


 

The original snack kiosk in the area has been moved across the street, and the site has been walled off.

Access remains available alongside the walls to the area's Gonzo's Royal Flush restrooms.

The area is on the main walkway into Star Wars Galaxy's Edge and is an ideal location for a more substantial snack offering.

    They could have at least given Coke mural lady a wrist. More cost cutting I suppose.

    Adult “Boo” looking hot. Better cool off with a $6 bottle of coke!

    Yes, that's the "Hollywood" in "Hollywood Studios!" ;) The outward facing 'streets' are all L.A./Hollywood, until you enter a 'land' that isn't, such as SWL. (We'll see if the Villains show gets a California place-setting...) Anyhoo, remember when they were thinking about renaming DHS? Well, I have clever idea... Disney's California Adventure!!

    I think that puts the whole park either in California or in the star wars universe haha.

    The Grand Ave. retheme puts it in L.A. Even Pizzerizzo's theming mentions L.A.

    Ever since they introduced the "Grand Avenue" modern Cali set-redressing of this part of SOA I had hoped they'd exaggerate some details like this, a skate shop facade, etc. They almost went too timeless in an area that hosts Baseline. This is fun. It sells it. I know it's a transitional "land" but I dig this.

    Even toy story land is technically in California (Andy lives near San Francisco). I think Muppets is the only area at DHS that isn't set in California or the Star Wars universe. Even then, mama Melrose is for sure in Holywood, so many the whole courtyard is?

    Grand Avenue is technically themed to California. So the mural is going for CA beach vibes. The walkway to GE is from Los Angeles.

    Is there a diet coke button included with the facility :D

    It’s outside the “gate” and technically more associated with the external street. That said, Monsters is still a decent ways off. There’s no reason this can’t change now and again later.

    I don’t understand this. Is Ice Cold Hydraulics not technically in Muppet Courtyard? You’d think they’d make it Monsters themed.

    Thread bump, but additional theming elements are being added 'Ice Cold Hydraulics'. ^pics from site that shall not be named
