After nearly nine months since its last sighting, it looks like the welcome sign may finally return to CityWalk at Universal Orlando Resort! The iconic sign went missing in March of this year without a trace, and has not returned.

The sign reading “Welcome to Universal Orlando Resort” used to hang on the bridge at the entrance to Universal Orlando CityWalk, greeting guests as they left the moving sidewalks from the resort’s parking garages.

This week, we noticed some work had been done on the steel beams of the bridge. There are several dark patches in the metal around where the sign used to be supported.

The original holes are still there. It’s not clear why the sign was removed, but there’s been no trace of its return since.
