 As we ease into the New Year we're starting to get back into our general update pattern and today we've got our first Universal Studios Hollywood Update of the new year. Even though we know/have heard of a lot of new things coming right now it seems that most everything is kind of small. We don't really like to say definitively what's coming until we know 100% but that doesn't mean it's not fun to speculate. ;) If you haven't used Metro to the park yet, it's really easy and the new pedestrian bridge makes it super easy to do.  Wizarding World always looks great, but I think we can all admit there's something special about seeing it in the rain. Maybe because this is really the first time we've been able to see it in the rain was just within the last few weeks? The 5 minute waits for Forbidden Journey don't hurt either.  The employees in this shot almost equal the amount of guests.  Krusty's mouth ... the ride.  A new Starway is being added to bring guests up and down the hill. For future capacity or something or other. ;) Imagine that, a park taking advanced steps and improving their infrastructure before crowds show up.  Of course, any time you have construction and rain you get mud. Wheeeee!!!   Everything is so green in CA right now, it's so nice for a change.  Down at the bottom you can see all of the work being done to add more Starway capacity.  I mean, it's already raining, might as well. =)  Seriously, even cell phone pics of Wizarding World look amazing in the rain.  The cold and rain make cool effects on the CityWalk fountain  Speaking of CityWalk, these pics are a few days old but we figured we'd include them here. Work is FINALLY being done on Voodoo Donuts.  Margaritaville is also looking great, they've been hiring so if you're looking for a job at CityWalk be sure to follow @ushjobs on Twitter.  Alrighty, that's going to wrap it up for this update. We should hopefully be back at the park soon for the Lunar New Year which is beginning soon. We'll be sure to get more pics of the park projects when we do. Related Updates:

  And On And On And On Related Updates:  In a world of RunDisney races (even one held last weekend in Orlando) sometimes you just want to do something a bit different, and less crowded. So with that in mind Renée took on the Universal Orlando Fun Run last weekend which from the looks of it gave the runners a pretty empty course through the two Universal Orlando parks. Check out all the fun times. Written by Renée Girard Why are we at Universal before the sun is up?    I love Disney races but this weekend we're skipping those for something different instead, the UO Fun Run!
  The UO Fun Run took us through both theme parks, starting with Universal Studios.   On to Islands of Adventure at Universal Orlando where we took a lap around the entire park.     And the finish line was at CityWalk near Hard Rock Cafe.  More from the finish line at the UO Fun Run at Universal Orlando . Great race!   We were greeted by some minions after crossing the finish line.  Really enjoyed starting my day with the UO Fun Run. Thanks Universal Orlando for a great morning!  Related Updates: |
