The Universal Studios Hollywood tour opened in July 1964, offering guests an exclusive backstage glimpse at the behind-the-scenes magic of a working film studio. In order to celebrate this anniversary, Universal Studios Hollywood Resort announced special, limited-time events will be taking place this summer.
Universal Studios Hollywood is home to some of the most legendary and iconic theme park experiences in the world, with the California resort being instrumental in shaping the theme park industry in its entirety. From Jurrasic World – The Ride to Revenge of the Mummy, there’s no shortage of thrills and chills at the Universal Orlando Resort.
Though the resort has been in operation since 1964, it recently got its largest and most exciting expansion yet. In 2023, Universal Studios Hollywood changed forever with the addition of SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, a fantastically colorful video game world inspired by Mario and other Nintendo characters.
Things are getting exciting at the Universal Orlando Resort, with Epic Universe making significant progress in the last few months. This massive expansion will be Universal’s largest one yet and will feature multiple new lands, rides, and attractions based on a variety of franchises, ranging from How to Train Your Dragon, Shrek, and Super Mario.
Epic Universe will act as the resort’s third theme park in Florida and is set to open in 2025.
