Universal Studios

Published on
Today we've got a great update for you from Universal Studios Hollywood, and some Fast and Furious Construction pics and video! We spent about 13 hours at Universal Studios Hollywood and CityWalk last week as it was my son and daughter in-law's first time to Super Nintendo World (and riding Secret Life of Pets). We even capped off the day with an incredible dinner at Toothsome.

​Let's head into the park for some fun! ​

A look at the Lunar New Year Menu on the upper lot. No large Lunar New Year display this year, we'll get into why a bit down in the update.

Heading down for early entry, didn't get a chance to go into the Power Up Café, but will later this week when I run into the park before the Tool concert at Staples, er, Crypto.

Picture

After a week of rain, it was a beautiful day at the park!

Picture

We even managed to snag a reservation at Toadstool Café. A word of advice, the line to order can take quite awhile, as well as the food service, so book a reservation about an hour before you actually want to eat.

Picture

I tried the spaghetti for the first time, it was delicious.

Picture

Princess Peach Cupcake. Very sweet, but this is our favorite dessert at Super Nintendo World.

Picture

Luigi Burger (chicken sandwich)

Picture

Our group weren't huge fans of Macha, so this wasn't our favorite, it was better without the Macha on it TBH.

​After spending about 4 hours inside Super Nintendo World we headed up to the rest of the park, which allowed me to get some awesome Fast and Furious pics and video.

The station is very quickly rising!

Picture

If you look closely right above the fence, you'll see some rebar for which will eventually become footers.

Picture

Every other park should have coaster view envy.

It didn't look like the rain from last week slowed down progress at all.

Picture

Will be interesting to see how much taller this building gets.

Picture
Picture

They're starting to add some higher fences in a few spots. Makes complete sense.

Picture

There are a few other random projects going on around the park. There was some filming going on inside the Earthquake set. This would seem to indicate the update has been completed, we should have an announcement soon I think.

Picture

The entire area from the Bates Motel to War of the Worlds was closed down. It looked like there was a rather large sinkhole in the area.

Picture
Picture

There is some work going on inside Honeydukes, perhaps we're getting the ice cream parlor finally? Will be a tight fit though.

Picture

Also some work going on near Moulin Rouge, this is where the VIP Tour area is, so perhaps some enhancements to that experience?

Picture
Picture

As mentioned, the plaza has been completely gutted of everything and it looks like there is some continuing work going on here.

Picture

Whatever it is I'm assuming they'll be done before Spring Break.

There's also a whole bunch of new universal monsters merchandise in the park, as well as a lot of Felix The Cat Merchandise for some reason. Even more than Fast and Furious which only has one little stand in the main store. 

Will be interesting to see if Fast and Furious merchandise increases as the ride opening gets closer. 
And lastly in this update, a few pics of our Toothsome dinner. So good.
