Last weekend before the second day of Midsummer Scream, I decided to stop at Universal Studios Hollywood for a quick update, and to see if I could actually make park opening, film an update, and still get to Midsummer Scream for opening. Many thought I couldn't pull it off. Spoiler, I did. But that doesn't mean you get any less of an update, we've got a great one for you today! And if you missed our coverage of Midsummer Scream 2023, check it out at the link.  Welcome to Universal Studios Hollywood! Halloween Horror Nights Some HHN Merchandise has hit the shelves, not as much as Orlando yet.   I love this hat, but I can't do trucker hats.     Don't think this is new, but still awesome designs!   No announcement for this house yet, hopefully soon!  This house was announced at Midsummer Scream! Monstruos: The Monsters of Latin America! Be sure to check out a deep dive into the design of this house below.  The scare zone was also announced and sounds awesome!  Down on the lower lot, The façade for The Last of Us is starting to take shape.  No announcement for this house yet either, but we're pretty sure it's a return of Holidayz in Hell.  No announcement for the show yet, but there are flyers at Spirit Halloween for auditions! Fast and Furious Still not a fan of the theme, but I can't deny how excited I am to have a new Intamin so close!  If this is even comparable to Velocicoaster, it will be the best coaster in CA.   Not too much work going on on the hill, yet.    It's so weird to be able to see all the way to Krustyland.   Walls have moved all the way around the site.   This is gonna be rough during HHN.  The Studio Directory that used to be between the Special Effects show and Animal Actors has been moved to the other side.   One of the Effects Show signs remains.   Walls extend all the way behind Duff Brewery and the bridge that the Special Effects stage used to exit on.   The Universal City sign remains, for now. Let's hope it's not going anywhere. It's an icon.   Some of the Universal Timeline posters have been removed, but not all of them. Hope this means they aren't going anywhere permanently.  We see you Dracula.   A couple of random things. Mobile Ordering continues to expand at the park. This is at Mel's Drive In. We've heard that Mobile Ordering is now available at Krusty Burger, Cletus’ Chicken Shack, Luigi’s Pizza, and Lard Lad Donuts.  Out in CityWalk, work continues on the former Blaze Pizza/Starbucks.  No indication as to what this is going to be. Related Videos

Universal Studios Hollywood Update - Universal Monsters Merchandise, HHN and Construction Updates6/13/2023
Last weekend we headed back to Universal Studios Hollywood for a day of fun, ended up spending about 7 hours in the park and had a fantastic time! We've got lots of great stuff to show you including some new Universal Monsters Merchandise, HHN progress and of course some construction updates on the upper lot. Enjoy!!  Welcome to Universal Studios Hollywood!  More pride merchandise has been added to the main store in the park.
 I needed a hat, so grabbed this one. Which was our discovery that there is a lot of new Universal Monsters merchandise now available!  Frankenstein  The Mummy. No 1999 Mummy stuff though. I think they should add that.  The Creature  I didn't get pics of the back of all the shirts.  Mugs and, are these stuffed animals? Do they have a name?   The Wolf Man. The TM's in the store mentioned a Wolf Man hat is coming soon.   I actually like that they have different color shirts.    Bride of Frankenstein hat  Frankenstein's monster. I get from a marketing perspective it's easier to just put Frankenstein on it.   Frankenstein snap-back and bucket hat.  Absolutely love this  Okay, let's move over to HHN Construction. Not much visible change here.   Hoping we'll get some kind of announcement soon.  Work is going on at the ex Special Effects Show building. Weird place to start, but they know what they're doing more than we do. =)   If I had to guess, some of the façade of the building will be staying.   The house behind the mummy is getting some more work done.   We're about 92.33% sure this is a return of Holidayz in Hell.  A look at the façade from 2019.  There was an orthodontics party after park closing.  A nighttime tour gives some great looks of War of the Worlds   We'll leave you with a look at a lit up Hogwarts Related Videos
