The Mushroom Kingdom completely transforms at night during Universal Fan Fest Nights 2026 at Universal Studios Hollywood. Multi colored Yoshis are appearing throughout SUPER NINTENDO WORLD™ for special meet and greets, photo ops, and nighttime interactions that make the land feel even more alive.
The new Jurassic Parking security hub at Universal Studios Hollywood is coming along nicely. Signage has now been installed and the project looks to be in its final stages. According to sources, the new security checkpoint could open very soon.
Construction continues on the brand new security hub at the Jurassic Parking Garage near Universal CityWalk Hollywood. Sources say the project could open very soon and may become a major new guest entry point for Universal Studios Hollywood.
The scale of this project is much larger than many expected, and it looks like Universal is preparing for future growth, larger crowds, and major seasonal events like Halloween Horror Nights and Universal Fan Fest Nights.
Have you seen the construction in person yet?
I noticed something interesting at Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift today. With my experience around roller coasters and attraction systems, I’m really curious what this device is used for.
It doesn’t look like an onboard audio trigger system, like the ones used on Revenge of the Mummy, to change ride vehicle audio cues.
My guess is this could possibly be a positioning or detection sensor that helps tell the train where it is, so the ride system can place the vehicles into their programmed drift movements and effects.
Curious what everyone else thinks.
No official uniforms for Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift have been publicly revealed yet, but I’ve been hearing from a few inside sources that this concept may be close to the direction Universal Studios Hollywood is considering for the attraction team.
The “Stunt Crew” look honestly feels like it would fit perfectly with the ride’s atmosphere and the Fast & Furious franchise's aesthetic.
Obviously, take this with a grain of salt since nothing has been officially confirmed by Universal. But if this ends up being anywhere close to the final look, it could be one of the coolest attraction uniforms the park has done in years. 👀🏎️🔥
Back in 2005, this video was required viewing at the conclusion of the Studio Tour experience at Universal Studios Hollywood. A unique piece of Studio Tour history that helped close out the experience for millions of visitors during that era.
Amazing to see how Universal Studios Hollywood promoted the Studio Tour during its early expansion years. The classic tram artwork and retro logo design are incredible.
