Universal Orlando is making some serious changes!
Not only did they just open the brand new Dreamworks Land, but there’s a little tiny theme park called Epic Universe that’s opening in May 2025. Okay, we’re kidding — Epic Universe is going to be, well, EPIC! But it looks like Universal isn’t just focused on the new hotness, and instead is also giving some TLC to the old and busted.
New, modern road signs are coming to Universal Orlando! According to new documents filed with the City of Orlando, Universal is hoping to install new “roadside monuments” as signage in high-traffic areas across the resort.
The new signs would be 30 to 40 feet wide and made from aluminum and polycarbonate outfitted with LED screens. The signs still need to be approved by the city, which will be determined during a November 19th hearing.
It’s likely that these monumental signs will display videos and images from Universal’s catalog of intellectual property based on renderings that were provided to the city.
This updated design follows Universal’s 2023 rebranding from Universal Parks & Resorts to Universal Destinations & Experiences. We also saw rebranded logos for Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, Volcano Bay, and CityWalk during this transformation as well.
Now, it looks like these new signs will follow that redesign.
The sign structures will be anchored to existing concrete footings that will be left behind when the old signs are hauled away, pending official approval, of course. So, where will you be able to see these signs? Expect to see them at:
- Hollywood Way and Turkey Lake Road
- Universal Boulevard and Vineland Road
- Hollywood Way and Universal Boulevard
- Major Boulevard and South Kirkman Road
