Views of where a new attraction building will be built in Universal Studios Florida. Arrows in both photos where plywood is on roof of a building near the site. Building apparently will be retained. Aerial photo five days ago. Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit structure demolished.
A friend pointed out that Google Maps has an updated Epic Universe satellite image. It can be fun to pinpoint or confirm the satellite image date. If you'd like to do this, these Aug 1, Aug 2 and Aug 15 aerials photos might be helpful.

Seems like pavement near Universal Orlando is now illegal due to recent changes in Florida law. • There are 3 intersections with swirl patterns. • Also 4 roads with bar patterns. • Streets are owned/maintained by the City of Orlando.
What if there was a plan to expand the restrooms/rental building and the primary Universal Studios Florida gift shop? (Aerial photo last week)
