UOR Permit Update 11/28/12: Potter, Simpsons & More

Universal has filed four new building permits this week.

First, they have filed two new permits for the Wizarding World of Harry Potter Phase 2; specifically, they are for Buildings 66 and 64.  As you will recall from last week, Building 66 is the Gringotts complex, and Building 64 is Train/Leaky Cauldron complex.  We will find out more as they undergo review.  Note: these building already have foundation permits and foundation work is underway.  These are for other work.

Second, there is a new permit for the replacement of a section of lagoon wall.  The Potter wall work done over the summer is complete save for the elaborate theming that will come (when they are ready.)  This is likely for the Simpsons Springfield expansion work.  A Google search tells me that CMU stands for Concrete Masonry Unit (blocks.)

Third, there is a permit for Building 5 which is set to get interior work and a mezzanine installed.  B5 is not on the park map that we have, but this somewhere near the entrance.

There was also a Notice of Commencement filed for New Horizons Construction Services to "Install New Games Storage Trailer Behind Men In Black."

UOR Permit Update: Springfield Remodel 9/26/12

Today, Universal filed another building permit for the forthcoming Simpsons land known as Project 971.  Per this new permit, buildings 72, 72 A, 72 B, 72 C, and 73 F are being remodeled for this project as well as the areas around them.  New construction will take place as well.  If you are not familiar with this project, the area around the Simpsons attraction is rumored to be become a Simpsons miniland.  A few weeks ago, a partial demolition permit was filed for the complex (Building 72) outside of Simpsons consisting of the Kwik-E-Mart, the International Food and Film Festival, and the restrooms.

If anyone has a map of Universal Studios with buildings numbered, we would be much obliged if you would send us a copy.
