Universal Studios Hollywood Update: Halloween Horror Nights, Upper Lot Coaster, Jurassic Park Store and More!

6/6/2023

 
Last week when we were on our way back from Arctic Rescue Media Day at SeaWorld San Diego, we were kind of tired of sitting in traffic, so decided to make a quick stop at Universal Studios Hollywood to wait out the traffic and have some dinner at Toothsome. We hadn't actually eaten there since media night as it's been a hectic few months, so it was nice to be able to get a quick reservation and have a nice dinner. 

But before that, we headed into the park for the Studio Tour and a look at what's going on around the park. So let's start there!!

Welcome to Universal Studios Hollywood
Picture
We started on the Studio Tour, and a look at HHN progress. Nothing to see here.
Picture
The lower lot house where Killer Clowns was last year is taking shape.
Picture
Picture
Picture
Not sure what this is yet, hopefully we get some announcements soon.
Picture
For only the 2nd or 3rd time since the parks reopened, we got to tour the backlot. Sadly the reason is because of the WGA strike.
Picture
The house behind Mummy is also taking shape. It looks like this will be the entrance again this year.
Picture
Picture
It looks like Production Central is finally down for the count.
Picture
Merchandise was being removed from the store. In fact, the day after we were at the park, they started tearing apart the Animal Actors stage.
Picture
There have been rumors of a Universal Monsters Paris house, and Dracula happened to be out in the Paris Metro. Hmm.
Picture
And a Dracula poster out in front of the Baker Street Music Hall.
Picture
Out in CityWalk, a Jurassic Park store has opened in Production Central.
Picture
Picture
Not as fancy as the one in Orlando, so no awesome photo op.
Picture
But the merchandise is fantastic.

Picture
I think I need that yellow shirt.

As I mentioned, we ate at Toothsome for the first time since media night, it was quite yummy.

We were so full we didn't get dessert, next time.
