Universal Studios Hollywood Reopening Update - April 19, 2021

Picture
Yesterday we made our return to Universal Studios Hollywood. After a year of closure, the park reopened last Thursday and we have to say, it was sure great being back. 

In this update we've got lots of videos to share including our Secret Life of Pets POV, Jurassic World POV with Indominous Rex, Super Nintendo World Update and my thoughts on the reopening procedures, covid protocols and more. 

It's a packed update, make sure you have a Scooby Snack!! 

Written by Gregg Condon
Before we get into the update, here is the video with a walk-through of the park and my commentary on the parks reopening. I also included some highlights from the Studio Tour at the end, sans-commentary. 
Picture
Out in CityWalk, the Butterbeer stand is now closed. Make sense since the park is now open.
Picture
It's great to be back!
Picture
Rolling out the red carpet

Who says you can't see a smile with a mask on
Picture
The limited capacity totally worked!
Picture
Our first stop was to get adopted!
Picture
Picture
Mmm ... massage
Picture
Picture
The queue has so many great details
Love the details, definitely need to investigate these pics further for easter eggs 
Picture
Picture
Lets go for a ride!
Picture
We got stopped a few times, yay for selfies!
Picture
The amount of "gags" in the ride are amazing!
Picture
Picture
Picture
FIRE!
Picture
Picture
The ride is seriously so cute, it's definitely a perfect fit for the park!
Picture
Hi Harry!
Picture
I have to admit, I got a bit emotional riding Forbidden Journey!

Picture
How about a look at Super Nintendo World! Guess it's official now. =)
Picture
There's no hiding it now!
Picture
Picture
Picture
Love being able to get up-close looks at it now!
Picture
Picture
Picture
And even overhead looks
Picture
And over-wall looks
Picture
Picture
Picture
We of course had to take a ride on Jurassic World!
Picture
I know this isn't one of the newer additions, but I love how this pic came out
Picture
Smile!
Picture
Picture
After our adventure, we needed a refreshment 
Picture
Picture
Picture
I was a bit embarrassed at how quickly I drank my drink, until I saw this. LOL.
Picture
Some HHN construction. As for how they're going to do HHN this year, who knows. It won't be "normal", but I also can't see them opening these mazes for daytime use. These tents can get hot, 110+ during the day.
Picture
Hey Bart! (Note: If you're holding a tiki or any other cup that has an alcoholic drink, the characters will not take selfies with you ... learn something new every day)
Picture
This was the most crowded spot was saw all day, and it wasn't bad at all.
Picture
More HHN Stuff
Picture
Picture
Hey Scoob! 
Picture
Yes, this really was 80 minutes. They're maybe at 1/3 to 1/4 capacity
Picture
Reminder, these markers are there for a reason. The group in front of me not only ignored these, but also mask requirements, which is why I'm this far back. But this was the exception, not the rule. 96.8% of people know and follow the rules.

The replacement for WhoVille ...

As I was walking out shortly before 4:00 this was the crowd level on the upper lot

Overall my visit was VERY positive. The Team Members are doing an amazing job at all of the attractions and at all areas of the park. Which doesn't surprise me at all. 

As far as attractions. As I mentioned in the commentary video, the attractions that have the most reduced capacity are the Studio Tour and Jurassic World. I'm also going to assume Transformers and The Mummy are in that group, but we didn't ride them so I can't 100% say. 

Secret Life of Pets doesn't seem to have it's capacity reduced AT ALL due to the way the ride is already set up. This coupled with the virtual queue means you don't need to go here first. 

In addition, Forbidden Journey, again due to the way the ride is already set up, didn't seem to have too much of a reduced capacity. You're losing maybe 1-2 seats per ride vehicle whereas with Jurassic World and the Studio Tour you're losing a LOT more than that. 

With that said, you can save Pets and Forbidden Journey for later in the day and you should be good to go. 

​As always, thanks for reading and watching! Until next time!
