 Happy Tuesday everybody and welcome to another update from Universal Studios Hollywood. Last week they unveiled merchandise for Super Nintendo World, so we figured a quick stop was in order. Which of course meant checking out the latest HHN prep and Super Nintendo World progress. Enjoy! Written by Gregg Condon  Welcome to Universal Studios Hollywood!  Are you ready for Super Nintendo World? Too bad if you're not. =)
 Hoodie Hats are new to me. Not sure what the point is. But ok.
 BOOOOOOO!  Lots of awesome keychains. Chain Chomp FTW!
 Land specific Merchandise. Hopefully they'll have land/park specific merch too!
 Can't wait to see all of this!  Lots of work being done on the back-side of Super Nintendo World

 On Sunday we headed out to Universal Studios Hollywood for some summer fun. Arriving to the park around lunch-time and staying until the early evening. Despite not arriving when the park opened, we were able to have a great day in the park, enjoy a couple of shows and of course check out the progress on Halloween Horror Nights preparations and Super Nintendo World! Written by Gregg Condon  Welcome to Universal Studios Hollywood!  New mask requirements are now in place, and mask wearing was MUCH higher inside the park than even 2 weeks ago.  A look at the Curious George mazes, in this case, Haunting at Hill House.  What is likely to be Pandoras Box  Not sure what these are? Boo boxes? Wouldn't they have been put in the tent already?   A look at the construction on the far corner of the lot. Likely for new soundstages.   The rumor is they are building new soundstages to free up more room around the lower lot for future theme park expansion.  Now that Bride of Frankenstein Lives has been announced, the façade is definitely coming together.   Outside of Waterworld, some changes have happened to the outside of the "rumored" Halloween Maze.  What was rumored to be Halloween III (with Michael Myers) is now looking like it will be for the new Halloween Kills. Makes way more sense.  In a surprise to most, it's now looking like the maze in Stage 29 will be a return of The Exorcist. With it being in a soundstage, guessing it will be a bit different than it was in 2016.  Let's check out the Studio Tour.  Production schedule, probably for this week, not on Sunday.  A look at the lower lot soundstage area. Will be interesting to see if we start to see any activity over here in the near future.  The Great Outdoors house has been moved behind War of the Worlds. Interesting that they've kept this. Maybe we'll see it on the Terror Tram?  Rumor is the back-drop will be removed. Last week somebody mentioned the Studio Tour host mentioned this will be a parking lot soon. (if that's you, please let us know so we can credit you)  Seems like an odd area for just a "parking lot", so I wouldn't expect that to last long. Unless it's going to be for the Trams and the current tram parking area will be used for something else.  Lets move down to the lower lot and take a look at Super Nintendo World.    Lots more hills being added.    From the Studio Tour    Cheers! (totally didn't even notice the plane when I took this pic, happy birthday random person)   We also checked out a couple of shows, including Kung Fu Panda  And of course Waterworld   Before heading out, we had some ice cream for National Ice Cream Day! Thanks for checking out our update! Things are definitely active around the park! This has been one of the most active parks in the country for years, and it doesn't look like that's slowing down any time soon! Related Videos

 Happy Tuesday and welcome to another update from Universal Studios Hollywood. I headed to the park in the morning hours of July 4th to check out progress on Super Nintendo World, Halloween Horror Nights and just enjoy the park until the crowds showed up for fireworks. There were also a few unexpected things I found during my visit. Enjoy and please share! We've got pics and video below for you to enjoy! Written by Gregg Condon  The Olympic Rings made a stop at CityWalk. They'll be at Universal Orlando and a few other places this month.  Patriotic Woody's throughout the entry area!  There have been some rumors that the Simpsons may be retired from the park in a few years. I'm ok with it. But maybe a new ride system instead of a 30 year old one.  A few years ago I would have wondered what JK Rowling would think about a trash can being visible inside Wizarding World. Now? I don't care what she thinks.  After a quick ride on Flight of the Hippogriff, I took in the Studio Tour.  Super Nintendo World construction   Supposedly a Haunting at Hill House maze for HHN  Bruce says Happy 4th!  LOTS of trees being cut down around The Great Outdoors house and Falls Lake. This is a HUGE plot of land for what is essentially nothing. We'll keep an eye on this for sure.  It's proximity to the park and distance from the houses makes this a prime location for future park expansion. If it weren't for F&F being in the way.  Reportedly for Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Again. This is probably my least favorite horror franchise.  Let's take a look at more from Super Nintendo World   They are definitely moving pretty quick now   The back-side of Super Nintendo World 
  Some new merch, only kids sizes. For now. Hopefully adult sizes are coming soon.   Saw Animal Actors for the first time in years. Always a fun show. The look on the Team Members face here is priceless.  Definitely a book  Hiya Marilyn!  The other two HHN mazes are coming together.  Reportedly Beetlejuice and Curse of Pandoras Box 2  Defintely could be for Dante's Inferno facade for Beetlejuice?  Work on the new soundstages is continuing on the far east end of the lot.  Had to grab one of the new Dodgers USA hats on the way out. Hope you enjoyed! Related Videos
