What’s New at Universal Orlando for 2007
Several exciting new attractions, restaurants and live entertainment venues are scheduled to open during 2007 at Universal Orlando, which features two world-class theme parks – Universal Studios and Universal’s Islands of Adventure – as well as three luxurious resorts – Hard Rock Hotel, Portofino Bay Hotel and Royal Pacific Resort – and the 30-acre Universal CityWalk entertainment complex.
For instance, the internationally renowned Blue Man Group will start performing at a 1,000-seat theater at Universal Studios on June 7, 2007. Founded in 1987 on the streets of New York City, Blue Man Group has evolved into a totally outrageous, multisensory production that mixes elements of live music, theater, art, science, vaudeville and humor into an award-winning show unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. Blue Man Group has been variously described by critics as “hilarious,” “groundbreaking” and “visually stunning.” Tickets for the Blue Man Group are currently on sale.
Universal Orlando also has announced a partnership with NBC to broadcast a daily daytime TV talk show, iVillage Live, at an Islands of Adventure theater (formerly the Toon Amphitheater). The iVillage Live show, which will feature rotating hosts, special guests and audience interaction, will be broadcast five days at week on select NBC stations, as well as Bravo and ivillage.com.
In addition, Hard Rock Hotel has recently completed a $6.8 million renovation of its 650 guestrooms and suites. All rooms at Hard Rock Hotel now feature MP3 landing stations and 32-inch flat panel TVs. Meanwhile, the Portofino Bay Hotel at Universal Orlando has been named the official host hotel of the Arnold Palmer Invitational, which will take place at Bay Hill Club & Lodge in Orlando from March 12-18, 2007.
At Universal CityWalk, the NASCAR Café recently underwent a multi-million dollar renovation and reopened on February 1, 2007, as NASCAR Sports Grille. In addition to boasting a variety of NASCAR memorabilia, the 25,000-square-foot NASCAR Sports Grille features a 37-foot media wall, booth-side interactive plasma TV screens, a diverse menu full of new entrees and a NASCAR retail shop. The NASCAR Sports Grille serves lunch and dinner daily.
Finally, Universal Orlando has begun to serve healthier dining options at both Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure with the goal of removing all trans-fat from park food offerings by the end of 2007. For instance, side salads and trans fat-free fries, as well as healthy beverage choices, are now available at many Universal Orlando restaurants. All kids’ meals throughout Universal Orlando also now provide healthier options.
“With all of the new entertainment options available at Universal Orlando theme parks, it’s more important than ever to plan your itinerary in advance to make the most out of your Orlando vacation,” said Kyle Collins, Director of Interactive Marketing for HotelsCorp.com. “For instance, you can enjoy significant savings by purchasing discount Universal Orlando theme park tickets online before you arrive in Orlando.”
