Time for an all new update from Universal Studios Hollywood! We've got a lot of prep for Halloween Horror Nights going on, the event begins in just about 10 days. Preparation for the Fast and Furious coaster is progressing, well, fast and furiously, get used to that joke. We've got a lot to get into, so let's just get right to it!  HHN Prep is happening, get your tickets!  A quick merchandise check, Villain Con merchandise is at the park. Definitely would not mind Minion Mayhem getting replaced by Villian Con Blast from Universal Orlando.
 I think I need this hat, I should have just gotten it.  Hanging with Marilyn!!  The Dollz scare zone is coming together
 The trend of absolutely fantastic HHN related artwork continues for 2023  NOT THE BOO BOX!!  The Dia De Los Muertos area is back!   The walls came down around Monstruos, and it looks fantastic! If you want to learn more about this house and scare zone, check out our video from Midsummer Scream!  El Terror De Las Momias Scare Zone is looking particularly fun! Wonder if this will be a house in 2024.    Not sure why this sign made me laugh Speaking of fantastic art work, absolutely LOVE these "movie" posters in the scare zone.  Even the Minions are getting in on the Halloween fun    It's back! Super fun photo op!  An overview of where the four lower lot houses will be for HHN.  The Stellar Bar is coming together, hopefully they figure out a better way to do the line this year!  Definitely excited to try some pizza!  We've been binge-watching Chucky and have really enjoyed it.  On the Studio Tour, prep for the Terror Tram is underway.   We're sure Norman will be around   It looks like there is more to this portion of the terror tram than in previous years. We'll see.     The HHN Tribute Store in CityWalk is not open yet, hopefully soon. Fast and Furious Construction Moving on, let's check out the progress on your future #1 coaster!   Even though we've been covering this for a few months now, it's still kind of shocking just how big this entire construction area is.   Construction stretches from the old Special Effects/Animal Actors stages all the way down to Stage 12.   Lots of older trees and other brush have been removed.   Still more to go, they are moving very quickly.   A bit of foreshadowing here? =)   This is going to be such a unique coaster, can't wait. I know we've said this before though, we wish it was just "movie" themed, not tied to an IP.   How different is this going to look? Can't wait to find out.    And that's gonna wrap it up, we'll be back at the park later this week for ... something. Stay tuned. =) Related Videos

Last weekend before the second day of Midsummer Scream, I decided to stop at Universal Studios Hollywood for a quick update, and to see if I could actually make park opening, film an update, and still get to Midsummer Scream for opening. Many thought I couldn't pull it off. Spoiler, I did. But that doesn't mean you get any less of an update, we've got a great one for you today! And if you missed our coverage of Midsummer Scream 2023, check it out at the link.  Welcome to Universal Studios Hollywood! Halloween Horror Nights Some HHN Merchandise has hit the shelves, not as much as Orlando yet.   I love this hat, but I can't do trucker hats.     Don't think this is new, but still awesome designs!   No announcement for this house yet, hopefully soon!  This house was announced at Midsummer Scream! Monstruos: The Monsters of Latin America! Be sure to check out a deep dive into the design of this house below.  The scare zone was also announced and sounds awesome!  Down on the lower lot, The façade for The Last of Us is starting to take shape.  No announcement for this house yet either, but we're pretty sure it's a return of Holidayz in Hell.  No announcement for the show yet, but there are flyers at Spirit Halloween for auditions! Fast and Furious Still not a fan of the theme, but I can't deny how excited I am to have a new Intamin so close!  If this is even comparable to Velocicoaster, it will be the best coaster in CA.   Not too much work going on on the hill, yet.    It's so weird to be able to see all the way to Krustyland.   Walls have moved all the way around the site.   This is gonna be rough during HHN.  The Studio Directory that used to be between the Special Effects show and Animal Actors has been moved to the other side.   One of the Effects Show signs remains.   Walls extend all the way behind Duff Brewery and the bridge that the Special Effects stage used to exit on.   The Universal City sign remains, for now. Let's hope it's not going anywhere. It's an icon.   Some of the Universal Timeline posters have been removed, but not all of them. Hope this means they aren't going anywhere permanently.  We see you Dracula.   A couple of random things. Mobile Ordering continues to expand at the park. This is at Mel's Drive In. We've heard that Mobile Ordering is now available at Krusty Burger, Cletus’ Chicken Shack, Luigi’s Pizza, and Lard Lad Donuts.  Out in CityWalk, work continues on the former Blaze Pizza/Starbucks.  No indication as to what this is going to be. Related Videos
