Welcome to another update from Universal Studios Hollywood. We've got a lot of great stuff to share in this update including some CityWalk updates, the final touches for Secret Life of Pets (which we got an awesome tour of, but sadly we can't spill the beans quite yet) and of course, Super Nintendo World. We're going to start off in CityWalk since that's what we saw first!! Written by Gregg Condon It's Happening!! Seriously can't wait for this to open. It was a beautiful day at the park! First stop of the day. Let me just say, you're not going to be disappointed. And as Forrest, Forrest Gump would say ... "and that's all I have to say about that" (for now) The facade is looking fantastic! As well as Pets Place, which is getting some work done on both sides of the street. Wonder if they'll have dryers in here for after you watch Waterworld in the splash zone? =) Store, coming soon!! Headed in for one last walk-through of The Walking Dead (for now). From a couple of years ago, 360 degree video of The Walking Dead. And of course, had to go into Wizarding World. I got a new iPhone 11 Pro and wanted to see the capabilities of the camera. Quite impressed with the Night Mode. Will take some time to work out all the kinks, but overall very happy with it. Can't wait to use it during Haunt season. (although I do wish the video function had a night mode) Moving down to Super Nintendo World That wall is going to be annoying. =) Jurassic World is still closed as they add in the new Dino!! And lastly, the classic Universal Studios Hollywood sign is getting some work done Alrighty, that'll wrap it up. We'll have a new update for SLOP when we're allowed to, so stay tuned for that. And we'll keep our ears open for Soft Opening dates. Have a great weekend!

Yesterday we headed out to Universal Studios Hollywood to cover the Jurassic World 5k (we promise, one of these times we'll actually run the race) and of course stayed after a bit to do a park update. Lots of activity at the park as they prepare for the Holidays and Grinchmas, as well as Secret Life of Pets and Super Nintendo World. Let's head in!! Written by Gregg Condon Jurassic World 5kSomething truly magical about heading into a theme park before it even opens. It was in the low 50's and perfect at the start of the race. It got up to the 90's later in the day. Winter in SoCal!! They used the digital boards to help the runners which was awesome. And of course, no theme park race would be complete without characters!! Lots of runners heading down to the lower lot. Be sure to check out our highlight video too. Some were going for a fast time, others were just enjoying the park and course. I'm sure people were flying down this hill!! We moved over to the finish The kids race medals Congrats runners!! We didn't hear that the T-Rex caught any of you, so that's good. Park Update Let's head into the park and check out what's going on. Now that HHN is over, the park has quickly switched to Holiday mode. Lots of awesome Holiday merch A collection of shirts, hoodies, characters and more. It snowed at the park apparently. Always love the Minion tree They're getting ready for Grinchmas Taken before the park opened as we were headed to the finish of the 5k, but totally loved this pic. Even the Wizarding World is celebrating the holidays Secret Life of Pets is coming along quite nicely The amount of detail on the building is impressive Super Nintendo Land is growing each and every time we visit the park Impressive, most impressive. The decorations are also all around CityWalk Tony Roma's is closed, NBC Sports Grill/Brew is coming. Cool new (to us at least) mugs at Voodoo Doughnuts And even some Universal Running doughnuts King Kong wishes you a GrrrGrrr Grrrrrrmas. We'll be back in a few weeks for Grinchmas!! Hope you enjoyed the update!! Related Videos:

Last night was the grand unveiling of the all new Jurassic World The Ride at Universal Studios Hollywood. The stars and media were out in full force to cover the opening of this new attraction. Let's check it out!! Written by Gregg Condon Welcome to Jurassic World It's a bit warm but we're ready for Jurassic World The ride looks amazing after dark A brief opening ceremony (be sure to check out the video of the opening celebration below) And of course Fireworks!! Blue was also out to greet people Chris Hardwick and Blue coming to a prom near you Enough of the heat, it's time to cool down!! Kersplash!! As we mentioned last night, videos and pictured don't do the additions to this ride justice. You have to see it in person. Some fun B-Roll sent to us from the park. Everybody kept asking if we were going to live-stream riding last night, we were under strict instructions to not film on the ride (although some others were). We like the good relationship we have with the park. =) Even though we only saw it at night, through the magic of email (from the park) we also have some daytime images. =) The Aquarium scene was AMAZING The special love I have for you, my Baby Blue Got a chance to say hi to Colton Dunn from Superstore. Super nice guy. Bryce Dallas Howard Our old pal Yvette Nicole-Brown We of course had to take a look at Isla Nu-Bar We'll definitely be getting these on our next visit to the park We also got a chance to check out the new menu at the Jurassic Cafe We did try the Guava Glazed Pound Cake and the Tres Leches Cake. Both were fantastic. There's also some great merchandise to add to your Jurassic collection These things are super cute You can also get some collectibles Funko Everywhere!! You're my boy blue!!! A behind the scenes shot from our buddy Matt. Glamorous no? Thanks to Universal Hollywood for having us out. We had a great time!! Can't wait to get back to the park and ride some more!!
