It looks like the Expo Eats snack kiosk at Universal Studios Florida is getting more than an expansion — it’s being completely rebuilt. The original kiosk, located near Animal Actors on Location, has been demolished and construction is underway on a new one.
New Universal Snack Kiosk
Since construction walls went up in October, they have been extended around the site of the old Expo Eats kiosk. The walls were also covered with images of foliage so they “blend in” with the park a little better. The walls start right behind the Face Paint kiosk and wrap around through the Central Park archway.
In Central Park, there is a fence and green scrim around the construction zone. We could see through this scrim and confirm the original Expo Eats snack kiosk is gone and the pavement has been torn up.
There’s a short wall around the construction zone, but this might be temporary. Smaller planks of wood on the ground appear to outline the new kiosk’s foundation.
The original construction permit indicated the kiosk would get new equipment, power upgrades, and new plumbing lines. The permit expires in March 2026.
It would make sense for Expo Eats to be rebuilt and renamed. Its mid-century sci-fi theming was designed for the World Expo area of Universal Studios Florida, but it hasn’t been part of that land for nearly 10 years.
When The Simpsons replaced Back to the Future in 2008, a large section of World Expo was re-themed into Springfield. That area was technically still classified as World Expo until 2016. What now remains of World Expo is only Men in Black: Alien Attack — a full land away from Expo Eats, which is near Animal Actors on Location.
