Universal Studios

Published on
Happy Tuesday everybody and welcome to another amazing Park Journey update! 

Today we're heading to Universal Studios Hollywood to check out the progress on Super Nintendo World and a few other things around the park. I'll also give my final thoughts on HHN 2021.

Welcome to Hollywood, Universal style! It was an awesome day!

Picture

I'll be honest, my main goal for visiting was to get one of the Minion Halloween Popcorn Buckets. But apparently they had sold out weeks prior. =(

Some work going on in Super Silly Funland

Figured I should ride the only working tram in Southern California (seriously, SFMM and Disney only have buses right now, no other parks have them for now)

Yep, this is still here. I really wish they'd re-do some of the Studio Tour. I mean, they're STILL talking about Desperate Housewives.

They really are working rather quickly now

In our video we mentioned that the building on the left (with the purple) was Bowsers castle, and were basing this off of Universal Japan. But in looking at the shapes of the building a bit closer, it does appear we're getting a mirrored image of the one in Japan.

Picture

That would mean that this is the mountain where the Yoshi ride is in Japan (that Hollywood is reportedly not getting at opening)

Picture

And that this is Bowsers Castle, more at the center of the land.

Picture

And these are all of the shops and restaurants that are to the left of the entrance in Japan.

If you think I'm wrong about this, please let me know! =)

Picture

I'm sure somebody smarter than me had already picked up on this, but I haven't really seen anything about it.

Picture

Looking forward to seeing this project progress over the next few months. Hopefully we'll get an announcement with an opening time-frame soon!

Picture

Before we end Halloween season completely, wanted to give some final thoughts on HHN 2021.

Picture

We loved that Wizarding World was open, and enjoyed it every time! Now about those Dementors?

Picture

Bride of Frankenstein Lives was our favorite maze on opening night, and all the way through the run.

Picture

We hope the Universal Monster mazes continue, we'd love to see The Creature next year!

Picture

Even though we probably won't get the Frequent Fear next year (we'll be in Canada for a bit) we will definitely be making a few visits.

Picture

For those of you who have been following along with us for awhile, you'll be happy to know that we FINALLY parked in Curious George. In all our visits to USH, I had never parked in this structure. Which is bizarre and weird right? Lol.
