0:00.0	Hello everyone and welcome to another this month in Universal Orlando history brought to you by the unofficial Universal Orlando podcast. It is March 1st, I am Lee, so let's take a look at what happened this month in Universal Orlando history. Beginning with an opening, on March 10th, 2014, the Coldstone Creamery opened at Universal Orlando's City Walk.
0:22.6	And as of recording this, they still haven't been.
0:26.0	Another new edition opened on March 12th, 2012, and that is our much-loved Hollywood driving mini-golf.
0:32.6	If you haven't done it, go and experience it.
0:35.1	It is split into two awesome 18-hole golf courses and they are themed
0:39.0	to The Haunting of Ghostly Greens and Invaders from the Planet Putt and our personal favourite
0:44.3	is Invaders. It's awesome and at night they are both stunning, if a little expensive.
0:50.8	A very sad one next. On March 15th, 2020, the Universal Orlando Resort closed its doors completely because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
1:03.4	A sad day in history.
1:04.8	Speaking of which, Universal's endless summer resort dockside inn and suite was set to open on Marchth, 2020, but because of the resort closure due to COVID-19, it did not.
1:16.0	Getting more positive, the famous Voodoo Donuts opened at Universal Orlando City Walk on March 24th, 2018.
1:23.3	In my opinion, it's okay, but it was a huge part of UOP the weekend of 2019, so it'll always
1:30.0	have a soft spot in my heart.
1:31.8	Sorry, Darren, but next up was the closure of his beloved Back to the Future of the Ride,
1:36.2	which closed on March 30th, 2007.
1:40.3	It wasn't our favourite, and honestly, I prefer The Simpsons, but I know Darren thinks fondly of it every day, so sorry, buddy.
1:47.0	And finally, rounding out the month of March was the opening of the incredibly themed
1:51.5	fourth on-site hotel at Universal Orlando Resort, the Cabana Bay Beach Resort, which opened on March 31st, 2014.
2:00.7	So, if you haven't stayed there, stay there.
2:03.0	I definitely want to stay there more than one night next time.
2:06.0	It is so cool.
2:07.6	And that is going to do it for this month in Universal Orlando history for the month of March.
