Lil' Boo pillow and blanket combo. • A pillow when blanket is stowed inside. • A blanket for, perhaps, when watching TV. With a foot warmer, maybe. Seen here in store display, maybe upside down from actual use. $70, seen in the primary Universal Studios shop.

Some circular forms are in place for footers of a roller coaster in Universal Studios Florida. Could be that concrete is curing in them now, or will be soon.

Two months of corrosion and weathering on the last track remaining of Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit.

It's incredible that the inventory or tracking label of this section of Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit is still adhered after 16 years. It's also very unusual that sections were unbolted here. All others cut by torch or demolition shear. As if some track will survive somewhere.
