Universal Studios Hollywood Update - July 23, 2025 (HHN and Fast and Furious)

Welcome to an all new update from Universal Studios Hollywood. In this update we've got a lot of HHN and Fast and Furious for you. Also included is some Mega Movie Summer fun and a look at some killer new merchandise that is now available! 

I think I've seen these before, but love them.

I think this is a robe? For those casual scary movie nights at home? =)

Absolutely LOVE this. Some of the same merchandise was unveiled for the HHN Vegas site today as well.

For those who are into this ...

Was VERY close to getting this one

Hanging out with Marty and Einstein. Einstein looks thrilled to see me.

Super excited for Monstruos 3.0

Oh, you want to see some Fast and Furious? Here you go!

Supports for the Sound Walls. Sound Tunnels? Sound Abatement? Sound Blockers?

The pull-through has made it past the mid-course brake

Despite the covering on it, this is definitely the Dodge Charger ride vehicle

The biggest thing they still have to do is the covering for this section over the Starway

And this section at the bottom of the hill

The sound walls are HUGE. I don't think they'll go any higher than this though.

Looks like they are testing designs for the outside of the wall. I think movie posters could be cool. Or a blue screen.

The hillside project looks to be nearing completion. They did this SUPER quick.

This will provide some much needed extra queue space for the Jason house, and is rumored to become a permanent structure for future Halloween Horror Nights/Universal FanFest Nights events. Can't imagine they'll have time to get it done for this years HHN.

Can't wait to get pics/video of Fast and Furious from this spot

We don't usually like to speculate on what's coming to HHN, but this is pretty obvious at this point. Although, we don't know what Blumhouse properties are included.

I absolutely love that they keep updating the Hollywood sign. Hope it continues.

More Terror Tram construction

Looks like they might be setting up another RIP Tour exclusive room like they had last year.

NOPE was closed, not sure if for HHN or for filming.

Judging from all the activity going on in Falls Lake, I'm guessing filming. Although it'd be pretty cool to have this spot in use for HHN. =)

Out in CityWalk, the cookie place is still rumored to be opening before HHN

Not sure when Slice House is opening. However if you're looking for a great pizza, you can't go wrong with Vivo just down the road. We ate here before seeing Superman in IMAX the night we shot this update.

Johnny Rockets is now closed. I remember seeing signs that it was going to be a Korean BBQ place or something, but those are gone.

I don't think I ever ate at the Johnny Rockets.

The NBA Store is finally starting to get some work done on the outside.

Raising Cane's is progressing as well. This will definitely be a popular location once it opens.

And lastly, work is continuing on the new security area's here and outside of Jurassic Parking. Still wondering how they're going to do that.
