They keep referring to "this year" and "next year" with no future sight; I kind of doubt Disney would let it happen. This is probably free product testing for them imo

I mean, they’re not gonna go “then the year after that and the year after that.” Simpsons isn’t long for Universal Studios, but I think it’ll be there for at least another 5 years… for now.

New HHN merch now available at the Citywalk store! Strangely, as of yesterday, none of this was available either in the main Universal Store at Citywalk, nor the main Studio Store in the park. I was hearing it may be available in the lower lot Production Central, but I didn't check for myself.






Also, Little Europe decor has arrived.

So Ive never been to Hollywood. This will be my first year and im honestly mainly coming for killer klowns and tram but I'm curious as to any tips, tricks, or opinions anyone has for me. Whats the recommended like path or attack plan. Are the originals good or is the Latin America stuff overdone? Just generally curious but I'm looking forward to it!!

If you can afford it, I highly recommend just getting Express and not sweating about strategy. I'd predict you'd still have moderate waits for Hellraiser, Terror Tram, and Stranger Things but you'll get everything done. Otherwise, be prepared to spend several hours in lines. It's looking to be a crowded year.

Regardless, it's best to work through either the entire upper lot and then the lower lot or vise versa (Killer Klownz will be on the lower lot). The Terror Tram closes early every night so make sure you're not saving it for last.

We're tired of the Latin America stuff because this is our fifth year in a row of it, but coming into it fresh it'll be fun for you.

Likewise, I'm very tired of the Purge show coming back for a fourth season, but it's a good stunt show and if it isn't crowded you should be able to get a good seat. Worth doing if you have the time.

The food has traditionally been not great imo but it was better last year and the Treehouse of Horror possibilities are intriguing. Wait and see on reviews. Three Broomsticks on the Upper Lot and Panda Express (yes, there's just a full Panda Express) on the Lower Lot are my go tos for reliably solid food.

Are the lines worse or like same as orlando usually. I attend there every year and am very used to waiting hours. Just wanted to make sure I would still be able to get stuff done without Express

If you don't get Express, there's no promises. It can be rough getting everything done, unless you really follow the strategies and expect to spend the entire night, and wait in many long lines.

If you can't afford Express, at least spring for Early Entry... that will help a little. And be in the park before Early Entry even starts, because people will already be lining up inside the park at least 30 min before anything even opens.

While I've done Orlando twice before, both times were with either Express or RIP, so can't say for sure how it compares without.

Echoing what others say, Tram does close earlier due to noise ordinances from local neighbors, usually around 11:45 or so. So be sure to get that done before then.

The biggest difference you'll find in Hollywood is the park is literally split in half by a huge series of 4 escalators. You really don't want to be going back and forth up and down them all night, you'll lose a lot of time and energy. That's why we're advising either do upper or lower lots first, so you don't have to keep going back and forth, and this distance between upper and lot lots (as well as a fairly long walk back to the H lot, which is sort of technically an extension of the upper lot) all take more time that you expect.

If you can stay up late, most lines (thought not all, popular mazes can still be long) will fall off in the last hour or so. Also make time for the Purge show if you can... we locals are kinda bummed because it's a near duplicate for many years going now, but if you're seeing it for the first time, it's quite a hoot with many fun effects. Also a good chance to sit down for a while in a night that otherwise has you standing all night long.

I think you'll find that our sets are not as impressive as Orlando, but I still stand by the fact our scare actors are the best, and really make the event. While they won't touch you (on purpose), they get so insanely close and aggressive, you'll feel like they do!

And if you can spare one night, try to get to Knott's Scary Farm if you can. Not only is a lot more affordable, but it's the grandaddy of haunts, and really has it's own unique vibe. Also, the lines tend to be a LOT shorter, and the compact nature of Knott's makes it much easier to get all their mazes done.
