Hogwarts rising at Universal Studios Hollywood

Can you believe we are about 14-16 months away from Wizarding World being open at Universal Studios Hollywood and only a few months away from Springfield and Fast and Furious? It's ridiculously crazy ... and also ridiculously awesome. 
As you'll see below, they are working at Lightning Scar speed to get these attractions open as soon as possible. And yet, Disneyland hasn't announced any E-Tickets to compete with any of this. But expect price increases any day now. =)

House of Horrors is no more

What's this I see peeking over yonder? 

The new entrance for Shrek ... but really, how much life does this attraction REALLY have left? 

Hogsmeade

New "Plaza" type area in front of Animal Actors and Production Central. I'm actually pretty impressed at how much open space they were able to get out of this area. 

That's a LOT of open space for Potter World queue switch-backs. =)

Moving over to Springfield, themed elements are starting to show up on the buildings

Nice

Looks great

You can see where Springfield ends on the right, and where Hogsmeade begins on the left. Still interested to see how they are going to pull this one off. 

And last but certainly not least, a look at Hogwarts, complete with pointy stuff. 

The Skyline of Universal Studios Hollywood is forever changed, at least for the rest of our lifetimes. 

That's going to wrap it up for this update, with all the work going on and how quickly it's going, I'd expect we'll have another USH update very soon.
