New Digital Signs Installed at Universal Orlando Resort Parking Areas
Orlando, Florida—Universal Orlando Resort has recently upgraded its parking facility with the installation of new digital signs designed to improve navigation for guests. These digital displays are now easily visible from the security area and provide directions to various sections of the resort’s two parking garages. The new signs feature oval-shaped silver bases adorned with the Universal Orlando Resort globe logo at the bottom, enhancing the aesthetic as well as functionality of the parking experience.
What’s New?
The updated signs showcase icons, colors, and names that correspond to three main sections of the parking garages: the blue “Jaws,” yellow “King Kong,” and red “Jurassic Park” section. This replaces the previous rectangular signs, which, while still displaying the same information, lacked the visibility and adaptability that digital signage offers. The new setup also rearranges the order of these sections to likely better reflect their actual locations within the garage. For instance, ride share and pick-up/drop-off options are clearly listed under the “Jurassic Park” section, improving usability for those utilizing rideshare services.
Additional Features
Apart from the main sections, Universal Orlando Resort features three other parking garage areas identified by colors and themes: the purple “Spider-Man,” red “Cat in the Hat,” and green “E.T.” These sections remain in the same order as before, ensuring continuity for returning guests. The digital screens also serve a dual purpose, as the reverse sides of the new signs display advertisements for various park offerings, currently promoting Universal Studios Florida, Islands of Adventure, and Volcano Bay with the catchy tagline, “Three parks. Three times the awesome.”
Future Developments
In addition to the parking garage signage, new digital signs are also being implemented along the moving walkways leading to and from CityWalk. Although one of these signs is currently uncovered, it is not yet activated. Another is still covered by a black scrim, indicating that more updates may be on the way. This shift to digital signage not only enhances the visibility of essential travel information for visitors but also affords Universal the flexibility to update advertisements and announcements swiftly.
New Code of Conduct Sign
A new “Code of Conduct” sign has also been installed near the moving walkways. This sign lists policies that aim to ensure a safe and enjoyable environment for all visitors. Key rules include prohibitions on soliciting, disorderly or dangerous conduct, offensive clothing, and weapons. Moreover, it advises guests that wheelchairs and strollers should not be taken onto the moving walkways, prioritizing safety and accessibility for all.
Conclusion
These enhancements are part of Universal Orlando Resort’s ongoing commitment to improving guest experiences throughout the park and surrounding areas. The transition from static to digital signage is expected to make the navigation process for guests more streamlined and efficient, particularly during busy periods. With further digital updates planned for the resort’s roadsides, Universal continues to embrace innovation in its efforts to accommodate its diverse patrons.
