Universal Studios Hollywood Update - June 6, 2024

Happy June everybody and welcome to an all new update from Universal Studios Hollywood! Due to work and travel it's been a bit since our last update so we've got a lot to share including some new park merchandise, Fast and Furious construction. Halloween Horror Nights prep and of course some thoughts and pics from the Studio Tour 60th Anniversary! 

​Let's jump right in! 

So much amazing 60th Anniversary merchandise, have to pace ourselves.

Particularly love this design. Below, some new pride merchandise for 2024.

Last night was the USH Pass Member Park Takeover (say that 5 times fast) so we were at the park a little later in the day. Check out our full update video below!

Let's take a look at some Halloween Horror Nights prep!

Tickets went on sale today and they announced the first house for HHN Hollywood which is for The Quiet Place! I don't think it's going here.

I don't think it's going here either. =)

Moving on, so much work on Fast and Furious since our last update!

This image is already obsolete as the second set of transfer track was added just today!

As I mentioned in the update video, this seems to be a bit higher off the ground than I would have anticipated.

A look at the station/queue from the starway area.

You've really got to zoom in to see all of the construction going on!

The fog started rolling in and it was a quite pleasant evening at the park!

A+ park view.

We also got to do the 60th Studio Tour for the first time!

Absolutely LOVED it.

Loved all of the new intro videos and the updates to Earthquake were fantastic. I got video of one side, will get the other side soon and put them together.

I want this mural in my living room!

Courthouse Square is looking great!

Love being able to step off the tram!

Hope some of these photo ops end up in the park after the 60th is over.

We did try the Butterbeer ice cream last night, and have to say it was odd that it was a bit different than the soft serve in Orlando (right side). It seemed more like vanilla ice cream with a Butterbeer Swirl vs "Butterbeer Ice Cream". Although it's possible we were just given the wrong order. But it was tasty! 

​Guess we'll have to get it again. For science and stuff. =) 

We also got our 60th Pass Member magnet thanks to friend of the site RideGuy70. So much appreciated since would have missed out.

That's going to wrap it up! We'll be getting back to more consistent updates as we ramp up to Halloween Horror Nights and of course continue our updates on Fast and Furious progress.

If you are willing and able to, would appreciate your donation to support those fighting Cancer.
