The Universal Studios Legacy Store in CityWalk at Universal Orlando Resort opened this morning with a big surprise. The store is packed to the brim with even more props, concept models, team member costumes and more than before. There are displays dedicated to attractions old and new, with music from the attractions playing in the background. The store is a love letter to the fans of the parks.

What’s your favorite retired attraction from Universal Orlando Resort? Let us know in the comments!
I absolutely love this concept. I think if they used this as a partial museum and rotated artifacts periodically it would certainly keep people coming in. That is one complaint I have of One Man’s Dream. It often lacks a connectedness to nostalgia.
