New Mural Unveiled at CityWalk LA and Universal Studios Update

On Tuesday Universal Studios unveiled a new mural by Kelsey Montague in CityWalk which is sure to be a popular photo spot. 

We also headed into the park to take a look at all of the projects going on inside.

Let's head into the park and see what's going on. 

As announced last week an all new nighttime show is coming to Wizarding World starting in June. Here you can see the projection mapping do-dad's. 

For those who think the Shrek building is going anywhere when it closes, think again. 

Speaking of Shrek, as we reported last week Shrek 4D is closing in August. 

We'll definitely do a full walk-through of the ride, queue and more before it closes for a future update (minus the actual film of course).

There are a lot of small projects going on around the studios. Here you can see the land being cleared for new soundstages to replace the ones that were removed for future theme park use. 

Speaking of future theme park use ... they are continuing to expand the Starway in anticipation of new attractions on the lower lot. Imagine that, once again, a park expanding their ability to get people around before new things open. =) 

You can start to see the new Starway taking shape 

One of the new escalators is already being installed. 

The new covering is starting to take shape on the upper-most level of the Starway. It looks a bit odd at the moment, sure it will look fine when it's done. It's totally just my OCD. =) 

So why are they doing all of this? 

Because something is going on here. 

They are digging some holes 

They are also doing some some work near the Metro sets, couldn't get close enough to see what's going on. Could be for HHN as they did announce two mazes are currently being constructed. 

Here is the maze that we know is being constructed 

Alright, that's going to wrap it up for this update. We'll be back at Universal next week for the "Grand Opening" of Voodoo Donuts. So I'm sure we'll have another update with that. 

Mummy says what's up and be sure to check out my new movie in a few weeks.
