Universal filed the application on July 16, and described it as for "Amusement park and theme park services," which could mean just about anything offered in a park.
The inclusion of the word "Silly" makes one think of Universal's recently-trademarked "Super Silly Fun Land," from Despicable Me, which the company is building as part of its Minion Mayhem attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood. Super Silly Fun Land will provide a new kid-focused play area for the park, given the impending closure of the Curious George area to make way for Hollywood's Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
What's your best guess as to what "Silly Swirly" will be?
The only other theme park-related trademark application from the past couple weeks was Disney's application for "Golden Oak Club," on July 19, for the residents-only clubhouse and dining room at its Golden Oak development in Walt Disney World.

Also note their season passes, which give you discounts in restaurants, don't give you discounts at the street vendor locations so everyone pays full price for it, even passholders.
The Flaming Moe is a huge hit in the Simpsons area. It is insanely overpriced compared to a Butterbeer and is nowhere near as good (IMO) but it is something you will only want to try once.
I had four Butterbeers this trip, but never wanted to go back for another Flaming Moe.
I am guessing the Silly Swirl will be a vanilla / banana or chocolate / banana soft serve ice cream in a specially shaped cone for Despicable Me.
I was also a bit disappointed to figure out the same giant Strawberry donut with sprinkles they sell at Emack & Bolio's (Hard Rock Hotel) is identical to the Lard Lad version. The only difference is the Lard Lad version comes in a cute box. It had been available for years...
