Super Nintendo World Tour and Universal Studios Hollywood Update

Last week we were invited out to Universal Studios Hollywood for a behind the scenes tour of Super Nintendo World!

Before we get into the update, a huge thanks to Universal Studios Hollywood for having us out for the tour. It's never lost on us how privileged we are to be included in such things.

Also, we will mention that there is still some work to be done in the land, so we've had to crop out certain things from the pictures and video below, so keep that in mind as you view both. On that same note, we do not know right now when Technical Rehearsals may begin, but as soon as we hear anything we will let you know!

Let's head in for a look at Super Nintendo World!

We'll start off with some pics that the park sent to us, all of these are credit to Hamilton Pytluk at Universal Studios Hollywood

Be sure to check out our thoughts on the tour along with some video from within Super Nintendo World!

Welcome to Super Nintendo World

The amount of detail and kinetic energy within the land is amazing, and just what you want from a Nintendo themed area.

There is movement EVERYWHERE!

And so many little touches that even casual fans of Nintendo will love.

For those that are huge fans, there are Easter Eggs and tributes to characters everywhere!

One of the amazingly unique things about the land is that it's multi-level. It's so great to be able to look at the land from many different angles.

If you're on a peak, there is of course going to be snow. =)

We got to take a look at Toadstool Café, but did not get to eat. It's much larger than it looks!

Everything looks delicious and we can't wait to check it all out.

We also go to take a tour of Mario Kart Bowser's Challenge (but did not get to experience the attraction)

The queue has SO MUCH detail and even though there will be Express and VIP Experience, we do suggest waiting in the queue to see it all.

Bowser welcomes you to his challenge!

Plans for the airship! Incredible!

There are so many hidden touches in Bowser's Library, we didn't see them all and we can't wait to!

Bowser Butt!

And of course, each character has their race outfit!

We also got a look inside the 1-Up Factory!

It looks fantastic! The merchandise inside seemed to match what is available outside of Super Nintendo World, but we're hoping for some land-specific merchandise you can only get here.

We are very excited for Super Nintendo World, if you couldn't tell. The land is amazing and you're all going to love it! We can't wait for Technical Rehearsals, Passholder Previews, Media Day and of course opening day. We're going to have a lot of Super Nintendo Coverage over the next month or two, so buckle up!!

We also took some time to get an update outside of Super Nintendo World too!

The Animal Actors and Special Effects show both had their final shows yesterday (January 8th). While it's sad to see these two classic shows retired, we're excited to see what's next for this ever-evolving park.

We were able to confirm that Production Central will close this upcoming weekend.

As the park prepares for Super Nintendo World, they are updating a few things, including the sign for Revenge of the Mummy on the lower lot.

Also opening soon, Toothsome Chocolate Emporium!

No date yet, but it will most likely be pretty soon!

It looks absolutely fantastic and we can't wait for chocolate'y treats!
