Welcome to Universal Studios Hollywood!

More pride merchandise has been added to the main store in the park.

I needed a hat, so grabbed this one. Which was our discovery that there is a lot of new Universal Monsters merchandise now available!

Frankenstein

The Mummy. No 1999 Mummy stuff though. I think they should add that.

The Creature

I didn't get pics of the back of all the shirts.

Mugs and, are these stuffed animals? Do they have a name?

The Wolf Man. The TM's in the store mentioned a Wolf Man hat is coming soon.

I actually like that they have different color shirts.

Bride of Frankenstein hat

Frankenstein's monster. I get from a marketing perspective it's easier to just put Frankenstein on it.

Frankenstein snap-back and bucket hat.

Absolutely love this

Okay, let's move over to HHN Construction. Not much visible change here.

Hoping we'll get some kind of announcement soon.

Work is going on at the ex Special Effects Show building. Weird place to start, but they know what they're doing more than we do. =)

If I had to guess, some of the façade of the building will be staying.

The house behind the mummy is getting some more work done.

We're about 92.33% sure this is a return of Holidayz in Hell.

A look at the façade from 2019.

There was an orthodontics party after park closing.

A nighttime tour gives some great looks of War of the Worlds

We'll leave you with a look at a lit up Hogwarts

It was a packed day at the park so we had to park in the grass on Western, so got to come in this way!

The Chaperone Policy is back since our last visit. We'll see if there are more changes before Scary Farm.

In addition to Fiesta Village and Ghost Town Alive, it's also Summer Nights season!

I was on the search for Boysenberry Beer, which was surprisingly hard to find. But this Boysenberry Seltzer thing was yummy, and I'm not even a Seltzer fan.

FINALLY found one in Ghost Town Grill!

Time to head into the all new Fiesta Village, which pretty much starts out here right now due to Viva La Fiesta.

The area looks absolutely fantastic.

Kudos to the entire Knott's team for a job well done here.

These Rock gardens are fantastic and really bring some much needed vegetation to the area.

Not much going on with Montezooma's Revenge right now. We don't anticipate this opening this year.

The Fiesta Village entrance from Camp Snoopy

La Revolucion also got a new paint job and sign and it looks great!

Lots of statues around the area, apparently these were explained during media night, but I couldn't find anything about them.

Signature shot?

The longest line we saw all day. LOL!

They've got some new Jaguar and Montezooma's Revenge shirts.

I have to be honest, I thought the $35 price point was a bit much, I remember when all Knott's shirts were in the $20-$25 range. I would have purchased one if they still were.

Lots of Fiesta Village merchandise!

Let's check out Casa California!

When I saw some pictures a few weeks back I wasn't sure how this would look, but it looks much better in person!

Didn't head into the eatery, but will at some point.

Papas Mexicanas was not open, weird because apparently it was on media night.

Can't wait to try this, and I didn't notice that it was actually at Coasters until right now. LOL.

The entrance from near Silver Bullet.

Let's head into Ghost Town and check out Ghost Town Alive!

Ghost Town is looking absolutely fantastic!

We caught some of the Ghost Town Alive fun which you can see in our update video above.

He did something bad I'm sure.

She just showed her ankle so only had to hold onto the jail bars. =)

Over in the Boardwalk, Xcelerator is STILL closed. No word on when it will reopen, but hopefully soon.

And lastly, something is going on under Bear-y Tales, not sure if this is for Scary Farm or what.

This is where Trapped was previously, so perhaps a return for the 50th. We'll see.

Thankfully the wildfire smoke wasn't too bad and it's a beautiful morning at Canada's Wonderland!

Along with Tundra Twister, we also have a new Mango Dragonfruit Cider - Tundra Twist!

And of course, lots of new Tundra Twister themed food!

The Dippin' Dots guy has been working overtime on this one!

Oh, you want to see Tundra Twister? We've got you covered!

Tundra Twister looks amazing from the ground and especially on the ride.

So many great angles to get pictures of Tundra Twister and Yukon Striker!

Starting in Downtown Disney, a look at the "renovated" Ralph Brennan's Jazz Kitchen.

I was waiting to see it in person before judging, but it actually looks worse in person than it does in pictures and video.

All of the charm is gone, and it's sad.

But, on the positive side, Beignets Expressed is open!!!

The former Uva Bar is pretty much gone. I forget what's replacing this, but hopefully it's just more room.

Some fantastic pride displays all around the resort!

Hey Harold!

This guy was kind of strange.

It's 8:30am somewhere!! =)

Some attractions around both parks are offering free PhotoPass downloads!

I hadn't ridden Tow Mater in probably 10 years (honest) so decided to take a POV as well!

I love the ride, but it was a bit rattly in my head. LOL!

Moving on to San Fransokyo, lots of progress is being made and it looks great!

The bridge should look different soon.

Lots of renovations going on in the Wharf, but all of the eateries are still open.

The Karl Strauss beer truck is gone. And we are sad.

Love this!

Tried the Destran Ice Cap. Was not a fan. The Ronto Wrap made up for it.

Moving on to Critter Country (but for how long)

Walls are up all around Tiana's Bayou Adventure.

The Splash Mountain sign is gone

The queue lights are on, I wouldn't anticipate too many changes happening there.

Some ropes and cones at the top of the final drop.

Work continues on Tiana's Palace, which I still think is a bit too far from the attraction.

Walls are up all the way around the former French Market.

Lastly, work on the Adventureland Treehouse.

I have no idea why this is taking so long.

Alright, that's going to wrap it up for this update, we hope you enjoyed! We'll be back at the resort later this month for Rogers: The Musical. Cannot wait!
