PI Update: Bypass Causeway Demolition

Two years ago when Pleasure Island was undergoing extensive demolition and construction work, it was necessary to build a pedestrian bypass causeway over the waters of Village Lake and around the Island itself.  The bypass was supposedly temporary and with Hill Street on the Island now reopened for foot traffic, the bypass is indeed closed.
But the causeway is still attached to the West Side near the Characters In Flight balloon ride and goes past BET Soundstage and Adventurers Club.
And it still leads to the Pleasure Island water taxi boat dock, although the dock is not in use at this time.  You can see here that the causeway now ends at the dock and has been demolished east of that point.
Pilings remain where the causeway used to curve back onto Pleasure Island near Paradiso 37.
And this picture shows where the causeway actually connected back to the Island.  Will be interesting to see if the Pleasure Island (or The Landing) will still have its own water taxi dock.  It seems kind of pointless to get on a water taxi at the West Side by House of Blues and then get off at the PI dock only to have to walk back over to the West Side.  Maybe the dock will be moved over to this point adjacent the new Hanger Bar and then the remainder of the causeway can be removed.  We'll see.

Has anyone been to Citywalk in LA and to a club called infusion lounge?

I have and it was pretty good. I think city walk in LA is rougher and may have some security problems. I've heard there has been a shooting somewhere at city walk. But I would highly reccommend Fusion Lounge. Just be careful of your surroundings at city walk and to and from and in the parking garages there.

Sorry, Infusion Lounge I mean, not Fusion. Also it seemed the music was more hip hop and less EDM which I would prefer EDM but I can't be sure. It was back in August. But definitely go. At least Universal still has clubs. Support them and not Disney. I'm not sure if Infusion Lounge is owned by Universal or an outside company. Maybe seine else on the blog can tell you but I think the groove at city walk Orlando is Universal owned and operated.

The clubs at CityWalk Orlando are all Universal O&O. I have no idea about CityWalk Hollywood but given the problems described about Infusion on websites like Yelp and TripAdvisor, seems not. I know management at Orlando would never tolerate what has been described by posters at Hollywood.
