Universal Studios Hollywood Update - May 24, 2021

Over the weekend I made a return trip to Universal Studios Hollywood. It was my first visit since they lifted the reservation requirements for annual passholders so I wasn't sure what to expect. 

And to be honest, I think it was actually less busy than the opening weekend for the Annual Passholder free month. The park seems to be running very smoothly despite the ongoing capacity restrictions on rides. I felt very comfortable during my entire visit, was able to ride quite a few things and had a great day. Let's head into the park and see what's going on! We've got video and pics for you to enjoy!

I arrived at the parking structure at about 8:35. So it took me 13 minutes to park, go through CityWalk, Security and the entrance gates. Not too bad!

Lots of photo ops for the 2021 graduates

Having a child who graduated with a bachelors degree in 2020 I feel bad they don't have at least one 2020 photo op for those forgotten graduates

Let's check out what's going on with Super Nintendo World!

I know a lot of people feel this is going to open in 2022, but honestly, given the progress being made, I can't see it. At least not in early 2022.

Will be interesting to see how they dress up this side

Still amazed just how close it is to the buildings on the lower lot

Really do hope they do "something" to cover up the soundstages here

The entrance to the land

Halloween Horror Nights is definitely coming, although no official announcement has been made ... yet

In addition to a few normal locations of mazes, two will be in the lot next to the parking structures

A bit of a zoom here, it says HHN 2020 Wall.

A look from above. Next time we're at the park I'll walk around a bit to see the facade of this.

Back inside the park, the upper lot mazes are taking shape

The rumored Halloween 3.5

A few more quick notes from the park. Rode Mummy, super fun as always.

Rode Transformers as well, not a huge fan of this, but it's always fun.

Always forget just how long this queue is

This is new since opening weekend

Some land clearing going on in the far back corner of the lot (beyond the little Europe area). Most likely more soundstages.

Waterworld has resumed shows!

Unfortunately no Sea Plane for our show

But super fun nonetheless

Dongpo is still closed, anybody know if it's reopened at all?

No visible work going on with Toothsome

It looked like iFly was back open

Alright, that's a wrap! Thanks for reading! Cheers!
