Show every monthCurrent work at the upcoming Epic Universe preview center. Holes in the exterior are being patched around the I-Beams recently welded to the building frame.

Lynx bus service started a regular stop on April 21 for Epic Universe Team Members. I saw a bus taking the route yesterday.

View of work on the Epic Universe preview center as seen straight-ahead when leaving Universal Studios Florida.
A section of rock work at the Universal still has a hole due to deterioration of the structural wire frame. This rock work has the older brown-based theming. Refurbished rock work at left is grey-based.
A look a refurbished rock work at the Universal lagoon. Now themed as grey granite with years of mineral staining from weathering effects of rain.
Rock work refurbishment completed at the Universal lagoon. Scaffolding removed.
