About this audio guide
This guide to Universal CityWalk Orlando traces the giant guitar-shaped building overhead back to a Hard Rock Cafe that opened in 1990 straddling the old park entrance, drew huge crowds through the 1990s, then abruptly closed in December 1998 as Universal built the entertainment district around it. The original building sat empty for over a decade before it finally came down in 2011. Look up at the neck and tuning keys before you head inside.
