Universal Studios Hollywood Delivers Nonstop Fun This Summer
No other Theme Park gets you closer to the blockbuster movies than Universal Studios Hollywood! This summer Universal Studios Hollywood brings some of the most popular franchises in film history to life and readies for nonstop summer fun with its blockbuster rides and attractions, including the return of “The Nighttime Lights at Hogwarts Castle” in "The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.”
As the hottest movies of the year hit the big screen, Universal Studios Hollywood is the only place in L.A. to catch the action after the credits roll and become immersed in one-of-a-kind blockbuster attractions. After watching the epic conclusion of Universal Pictures’ Jurassic World Dominion, which opened as the #1 movie in the world, guests can experience “Jurassic World—The Ride” where they will be caught in the middle of an extraordinary battle between the Indominus rex and her arch-rival, the Tyrannosaurus rex.
Minions continue to run amok at Universal Studios Hollywood as the theme park prepares for the theatrical release of Illumination and Universal Picture’s newest film, Minions: The Rise of Gru, on July 1.
From Monday, June 27 through Sunday, July 17, mischievous Minions will take center stage at Universal Plaza, where guests can meet the newest Minion, Otto, along with fan favorites Jerry and Dave before they set off on an adventure aboard the “Despicable Me Minion Mayhem” ride. The Minion activation also features exclusive experiences for guests, including interacting with a 16-foot Minion squishy and engaging in a specially-created Minion-themed game through Sunday, August 14.
The amazing The Nighttime Lights at Hogwarts Castle is back with a dazzling light and special effects projection display set against the backdrop of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. As night falls on Hogsmeade village, guests can enjoy an awe-inspiring spectacle that showcases the four houses of Hogwarts: Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, Hufflepuff and Slytherin, accompanied by a special musical arrangement based on original scores from the film series. Check the app for showtimes.
And finally! The “Special Effects Show,” is returning! This fast-paced and entertaining behind-the-scenes peek at the world of Hollywood movie-making magic will run daily from Friday, July 1 through Sunday, August 14, then weekends only, beginning Saturday, August 20. I can’t recommend this show enough! For an even more immersive look at this authentic movie and television production studio, hop on the world-renowned Studio Tour, which now features several electric trams in its current fleet.
If you are planing to visit more than once, I highly recommend getting an annual pass, GOLD at the very least since it includes a nice food and merchandise discount and the ever so important perk of parking!
