Universal Studios Hollywood Update - February 25, 2019

It's been a few weeks since our last Universal Studios Hollywood update, and if the progress of work going on around the park is any indication, we're going to have to start doing more of them. 

The park is starting to remind us of 2015 when the entire upper lot was being worked on for Springfield and Wizarding World. But this time there are three major projects happening on the upper and lower lot. Let's take a look!!

Our first stop most days is of course Wizarding World. We got into the park right at opening and had about a 15 minute wait for Forbidden Journey. 

Usually we just do single rider, but sometimes we go for the full experience. 

It was a perfect day at the park, didn't get too busy until about 1 or 2 (as we were leaving). 

We of course had to get some Butterbeer. What's your favorite kind? 

Most of the people in our group hadn't done Kung Fu Panda yet, so we had to give that a visit. Really enjoy it. 

Now that Lunar New Year is over they are doing some work in Universal Plaza. Not sure if it's just general refurbishment or if they're doing something for the next event. 

Let's first take a look at "Unannounced Project #1" (or is this Unannounced Project #2). We have a hard time keeping track. =) 

The pictures seen from the upper lot don't do the size of this area justice. 

But on the lower lot, you can get a feel for just how big this addition is. 

There is actually more room here than you might think. 

A crane on-site can only mean one thing ... vertical construction. 

As you can see they are starting to go down before they go up. 

One of the walls is already taller than the tram. 

Jurassic World is really starting to take shape, you can see the T-Rex on the outside very clearly now. 

The most interesting thing though is this new build down near the former maintenance pool. Not sure if this is an extension of the ride or they're just re-doing this part of the backstage area. 

But as you can see, there is a LOT going on in this area. 

Further on the tour, Jaws is getting some love. 

Back on the upper lot, "Unannounced Project #2" is getting bigger with each visit. 

Alright all, that's gonna wrap it up for this update. As you can see, many new exciting things are coming to the park. They didn't move all those soundstages for nothing. 

As for when these projects will be "officially" announced, your guess is as good as ours. They just officially announced the new coaster in Florida, and that opens in less than 4 months. So even though we all pretty much know what the construction is for, we think it's more fun to keep calling them "Unannounced #1 and Unannounced #2" for the time being. Kind of like Thing 1 and Thing 2. =)
