JB’s Smokehouse BBQ Refresh

JB’s Smokehouse BBQ reopened this weekend with a refreshed serving line, a new drink refill station and upgraded menu offerings.

The JB’s Express booth is still walled off and undergoing changes.

JB’s Express may become a new drink refill stand when work is complete.

El Diablo Removal

By Saturday’s visit, all of El Diablo had been removed except for the base segment.

Crews loaded El Diablo onto a truck during our visit. The attraction was dismantled and shipped north over the last week.

Only El Diablo’s load and unload platforms remained by the end of the day.

Front Gate & El Mercado Construction

Areas around front gate are beginning to reopen with new pavers and pavement.

Some planters have been removed, likely to help expand high-traffic walkways.

Front gate’s Looney Tunes and DC Comics store have seen their signage and themed elements stripped away.

New trellis/awning structure has gone up around El Mercado and the former DC Universe/Looney Tunes store.

El Mercado remains closed as it undergoes a refresh.

The awning/trellis structure continues all the way around El Mercado’s building.

All American Cafe & Other Dining Projects

All American Cafe has temporarily closed for an interior refresh.

All American Cafe’s interior is being completely gutted.

All American Cafe is expected to reopen with a refreshed serving line and expanded menu.

Rancho de Pollo has been completely demolished and removed from the park’s Spain section.

E.G. Sugarwater’s remains closed. The location will likely reopen as a drink refill station.

New construction is shaping up near Aquaman: Power Wave. This is likely also for another new drink refill location.
