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!!

It's Happening!!

Seriously can't wait for this to open. 
Picture
Picture
It was a beautiful day at the park! 
Picture
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)
Picture
The facade is looking fantastic! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
As well as Pets Place, which is getting some work done on both sides of the street. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Wonder if they'll have dryers in here for after you watch Waterworld in the splash zone? =) 
Picture
Picture
Store, coming soon!! 
Picture
Picture
Headed in for one last walk-through of The Walking Dead (for now). 
Picture
From a couple of years ago, 360 degree video of The Walking Dead. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
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. 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Quite impressed with the Night Mode. Will take some time to work out all the kinks, but overall very happy with it. 
Picture
Can't wait to use it during Haunt season. (although I do wish the video function had a night mode)
Picture
Picture
Picture
Moving down to Super Nintendo World
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
That wall is going to be annoying. =) 
Picture
Picture
Jurassic World is still closed as they add in the new Dino!! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
And lastly, the classic Universal Studios Hollywood sign is getting some work done
Picture
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!

Happy Thursday everybody and welcome to what will probably be our last Universal Studios Hollywood update of the decade. Last weekend we were invited out to the park to check out Grinchmas, Christmas in the Wizarding World and all of the amazing Holiday fun. 

In addition we took a look at the current construction projects around the park. Let's check it out!!

Welcome to the Holidays at Universal Studios Hollywood!

Looks like King Kong got mad at It's Sugar (the store is getting some work done)
Picture
It was a gorgeous day to be out at the park
Picture
Picture
Highlight video of Grinchmas 2019
We love little out of the way touches, the record studio outside of Mel's had a great Christmas album display
Picture
Picture
Merry Grinchmas 
Picture
The real clouds look almost fake here 
Picture
All the different things you can do at Grinchmas

Our advise, do the Wholiday Tree Lighting later in the evening 
Picture
Picture
We met the mayor who wished us a happy Anniversary (our 24th was the day after our visit ... yes, we were VERY young when we got married, well, 20)
Picture
We decided to meet Max too!!
Picture
Picture
He's so awesome! 
Picture
Picture
Picture
We love the look of this area at night
Picture
The lit up Wholiday tree
Picture
Picture
Picture

We also took some pics/video of Secret Life of Pets progress
Picture
Picture
Picture
We can't wait to try this out next year
Picture
Picture
Picture

And also a Super Nintendo Land update video. This was taken from the Studio Tour so it's kind of bumpy. Our apologies. 

Lastly, we enjoyed a nice evening in Hogwarts and celebrated the Holidays there. 
Picture
We had dessert out on the patio, enjoying some hot butterbeer and waiting for the crowds to die down a bit for the Magic of Christmas at Hogwarts Castle (you can see it from here too). 
Picture
Picture
The shows they do here are truly magical, we love them. 
Thanks for the amazing night Universal Hollywood!! We'll see you in the new year!

March 20, 2017 - Universal Studios Hollywood Update

Today we've got a quick Universal Studios Hollywood update for you as we take a look at stage deconstruction on the lower lot for whatever it is that they are going to be building. 

This update is going to be short on words as I ran the LA Marathon yesterday and I need to get back to vegging and watching movies and napping and eating Voodoo Doughnuts. =)

As you can see, all of the stages they were tearing down on the lower lot are completely gone. 
Picture
Picture
These were taken last Thursday so the rest of the rubble is surely gone by now. 
Picture
Picture
They are also continuing work on the 4th Starway escalator 
Picture
Picture
Lots of empty space for them to play with 
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
Picture
You can see where the former stages were 
Picture
Picture
An overview of most of the area, we'll have to see if anything else is on the way out to make even more room. 

Wonder if we'll get some HHN mazes on these empty spots before construction begins on whatever it is they're building. 
Picture
A closer look at the Starway construction. On the left you can see supports for the new escalator already. 
Picture
Picture

Super Silly Funland just came back from a nice freshening up and looks great. 
Picture
Picture

And finally we'll leave you with a few random Springfield pictures because why not.

Alright, that's it for this update, it's going to be interesting to see what's going on and what's announced in the next months. Truly another exciting time for the park.
