Have not had a chance to visit The Groove since publishing the rumor about them closing next month for renovations. So there's not a whole lot of new information right now but will update you with what we have. As you may have seen in yesterday's article, ran into a Groove bartender on Saturday night and it was her understanding that renovations are going to take place in phases with The Groove remaining open, at least on peak weekend nights. If I understood her correctly, there could be some nights they don't open early in the week when the place would be practically empty anyway. DJ ET told Save Pleasure Island Blog via email that the rumor of them (permanently) closing The Groove is just a rumor. We'll keep you updated!
maybe if they renovate instead of close, they re-evaluate their entertainment options..if you know what i mean... ;)
ReplyDeletegot to love the rumors! I think someone just gets off by doing this?
ReplyDeleteYESSSS!!!! I'm counting on Universal to outfox Disney. Why repeat a horrible mistake? I think Universal is much smarter than that. It would just be another in the latest string of 1-2-3 punches at Disney. The first being WWOHP at IOA, then Transformers and now a refurbished dance club. Also the new Diagon Alley. All while maintaining the clubs (especially the groove hopefully). I think I'm due a trip to Universal if what you say is true. Oh and if I sound bitter at Disney, I am! I'll never forgive them for closing Mannequins Dance Palace. They can take their new outlet mall Retirement Village Springs and shove it up their mouse hole as I won't be spending any money there unless it's on that revolving dance floor that I've waited almost 6 years to get on again.
ReplyDeleteI'm now hearing that the Thursday & Saturday Latin Nights may stay at Red Coconut Club as apparently RCC is making so much money from them that they don't want to give them up. So Antojitos may go Top 40 on Thursday, Friday & Saturday nights!
ReplyDeleteBob, it goes without saying that we need updates on this. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnon at 9:12am, renovation makes a lot more sense. Their clubs are cash cows for Uni.
ReplyDeleteAnon at 11:49am, perhaps. But we got boots on the ground.
Anon at 2:00pm, Uni is sinking incredible amounts of money into Universal Orlando Resort and they're not doing it to lose. Lots more on the way!
Anon at 9:00pm, will update everyone when info becomes available.
