Scooby-Doo Meets The Universal Monsters: Mystery on the Backlot

Guests will ride the Studio Tour tram to Universal’s famous backlot, where they’ll walk through a live-action mystery alongside Scooby-Doo, gy, Fred, Daphne, and Velma. The adventure takes guests through real outdoor film sets — including Little Europe’s cobblestone streets and the Court of Miracles, original filming locations for “Frankenstein” (1931) and “The Wolf Man” (1941) — as they help the gang solve a mystery involving Frankenstein, Dracula, Bride of Frankenstein, and Wolf Man.

One Piece: Grand Pirate Show
For 2026, the franchise has been upgraded to a full live show at the Water World venue. Adapted from a Universal Studios Japan production, the show features fan-favorite One Piece characters in a performance built around action, comedy, and chaos.

This looks pretty awesome - One Piece on the waterworld set is a perfect fit and Scooby-Do mystery tram is a fun conceit to bring together the classic monsters.

Not entirely sold on the Harry Potter choice. I feel like the IP is already well represented at the park, and interest has waned considerably since its peak.

Hopefully the walk through has some quality production value like the DnD one did

At least USH is attempting new things.

What would rather see them do ?

Personally? I would like them to either maintain things that differentiate the park from Orlando (we've lost a lot of those things recently) and/or import some of the attractions that have been hits in Orlando *without* downgrading the scale, scope, or quality (USH now has the downgraded versions of Harry Potter, SNW, etc).

Obviously they're not in a position to bring all of these things over as is, but can we do something interesting or improve something with what is brought over at least? So the park doesn't feel like the budget version of Orlando all the time?

Anyone know is Hollywood Drift has an indoor scene or not?

I highly doubt it. A show scene was planned for Velocicoaster and they scrapped it and put nothing it to replace it yet people still love the ride. Considering how lazy the themeing looks for this, I doubt they'd do more than theme the queue building and cars (Stardust Racers).

I might have missed it previously but was this already known to be the fastest rollercoaster in a Universal park?! 72 mph
Very surprised that it goes faster than hulk and velocicoaster.

Also how odd that Universal had to blur out Nintendo world and the minions land in the background of the video
