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

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

We started on the Studio Tour, and a look at HHN progress. Nothing to see here.

The lower lot house where Killer Clowns was last year is taking shape.

Not sure what this is yet, hopefully we get some announcements soon.

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.

The house behind Mummy is also taking shape. It looks like this will be the entrance again this year.

It looks like Production Central is finally down for the count.

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.

There have been rumors of a Universal Monsters Paris house, and Dracula happened to be out in the Paris Metro. Hmm.

And a Dracula poster out in front of the Baker Street Music Hall.

Out in CityWalk, a Jurassic Park store has opened in Production Central.

Not as fancy as the one in Orlando, so no awesome photo op.

But the merchandise is fantastic.

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.
