 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!

 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!! Written by Gregg Condon 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)  It was a gorgeous day to be out at the park   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   Merry Grinchmas  The real clouds look almost fake here  All the different things you can do at Grinchmas Our advise, do the Wholiday Tree Lighting later in the evening   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)  We decided to meet Max too!!
He's so awesome!
 We love the look of this area at night  The lit up Wholiday tree
 We also took some pics/video of Secret Life of Pets progress    We can't wait to try this out next year    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.  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).
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!  You can find out more information about the Holidays at Universal Studios Hollywood here. Related Videos:

 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. =) Written by Gregg Condon Photos by Matthew Nelson As you can see, all of the stages they were tearing down on the lower lot are completely gone.   These were taken last Thursday so the rest of the rubble is surely gone by now.   They are also continuing work on the 4th Starway escalator   Lots of empty space for them to play with         You can see where the former stages were   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.  A closer look at the Starway construction. On the left you can see supports for the new escalator already.
Super Silly Funland just came back from a nice freshening up and looks great.   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. Related Updates: |
