    Universal Studios Hollywood Update - February 19, 2025

    Today we've got an all new update from Universal Studios Hollywood and the latest look on the biggest California project for 2026 and the one that's moving, well, very fast and very furiously. 

    I recently did a binge watch of all of the Fast and Furious films to try and get why they've now tried 3 times to get this franchise to stick in the parks. While I enjoyed the films more than I thought I would (they are stupid fun), I honestly still don't get what makes it worthy of being a theme park attraction. There are so many other franchises that could work here.

    But that doesn't mean I'm any less excited about the coaster itself. I fully believe that it's going to be the best coaster in California when it opens. And I have Twisted Colossus as my #3 coaster (out of almost 350). 

    Let's head into the park and have some fun. 
    Picture

    This building is HUGE. This is basically where the Animal Actors stage not really that long ago.

    Picture

    Iconic shot ...

    Picture

    Heading down the hill on the Studio Tour, so many twists and turns.

    Picture
    Picture
    Picture

    There will be some sound walls in this area, but there is still going to be so much of the coaster we are going see around the park.

    Picture

    The newest batch of supports.

    Picture
    Picture
    Picture

    Not sure what they are building there, it could be part of the queue, could be a show building, or storage/maintenance track. But there is nothing to connect to it.

    Picture

    So many twisties.

    Picture
    Picture

    The backside of the attraction where we will see so much of the coaster in action.

    Picture

    I'm going to guess some kind of net will be added to this view to prevent people from dropping things in the coaster area. I'm always worried I'm going to drop my phone. =)

    Picture

    A new batch of merchandise to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of SNL.

    Picture
    Picture
    Picture
    Picture
    Picture
    Picture

    Church Lady and Turd Ferguson FTW.

    Picture

    FanFest nights are coming, we are ready (although we accidentally booked a long weekend in Orlando during the opening weekend ... oops).

    Picture

    Lots of changes are coming to CityWalk.

    Picture

    Lots of shops and restaurants are closing to make way for new things. Not sure what this is but will definitely check it out.

    Picture

    Both Popcornopolis and the Crepe place are gone.

    Picture

    Billabong will be closing soon as well. I think this shop is pretty close to an opening day establishment, or shortly after.

    Picture

    iFLY is also gone, but I didn't feel like walking all the way down there. =)

This final space celebrates the beauty and mystery of ocean life.

    The Jewels of the Sea exhibit is not only a beautiful showcase of marine life but also a testament to SeaWorld’s commitment to conservation.

    Let's start off this update with a look at the completed sign out by the I-5 Freeway. Looks great!

    Picture

    They have finally added semi-permanent barriers between the tram/bus road and parking lot.

    Picture

    A look at the new colors for Tornado at Hurricane Harbor. They are working hard inside the waterpark. Looking forward to seeing what all they're doing soon.

    Picture

    The Canadian geese are hanging around the park as they do every year. Look for chicks in the very near future.

    Picture

    Let's take a look at what's going on for Project 2026.

    Picture

    LOTS of trees have been removed, and it looks like the hill has been taken down a bit.

    Picture

    Here's a pic from last November, you can definitely see the difference here.

    Picture

    Despite "rumors" and "plans" that you may have seen floating around, nothing has been confirmed from the park regarding what type of attraction/coaster is coming to this area of the park.

    Picture

    Hopefully some of the trees will be saved and this won't just become another concrete area.

    Picture

    You can see the Superman station all the way from Bugs Bunny World now!

    Picture

    Full Throttle too!

    Picture

    Goliath also just got a new paint job and it looks fantastic!

    Picture
    Picture

    Here is how the paint looks today ...

    Picture

    And this is what it looked like last November. It's like an entirely new ride!

    Picture

    They are still working on the new restrooms near Colossus.

    Picture

    If you want to ride something, better do it!

    Picture

    New 2024 bottles are now available. For those who have it included with your pass, just go into any eatery with your pass and they will hook you up.

    Picture

    New to me was the new Flash Pass entrance for Apocalypse. I'm not sure how long it's been like this, but works so much better.

    Picture

    Alright, that's going to wrap it up for this update. Hopefully we'll get some kind of announcement from the park soon regarding what's coming next year!
