Miss being able to go on the bridge.

Yeah, I have missed that for a long time though.....wish they would put it back in the tour and get rid of the 3D nonsense.

That ties to the mayor's city closure date.

"Mayor Eric Garcetti’s latest citywide mandate imposes an even stricter set of restrictions on daily life in Los Angeles than the one issued Sunday night. Thursday evening’s announcement that the city would be placed under a “Safer at Home” ordinance — essentially, a modified version of the “shelter-in-place” guidelines already in effect in the Bay Area. The new restrictions are in place through April 19, from an original order of March 31, although the city said it could shorten or lengthen the timeframe."

Technically, Universal Studios is not part of the city of Los Angeles, it is part of Universal City and would not be subject to orders pertaining to the city. But it's smart for them to still follow the order.

Although this is probably as much to do with scheduling needs as anything else, since I believe they schedule about 2 weeks at a time, and post the schedule a week or two in advance.

LA County, which they are part of, is mirroring the orders.

PART of the USH complex is located in un-incorporated Los Ange;es County, while the other part is located in the City of Los Angeles. About 70%/30%. Basically, most of the parking, the Hotels, CityWalk and other weird patches are within the city limits.

But the County is coordinating with the city of LA to try and match up their current COVID-19 regulations.

I'm really glad they are still working on the projects.

I agree! I cannot wait to see how the fix Jurassic World. I also cant wait to see the Secret Life of Pets ride as well!

One of the best theme park rides ever was the original Jurassic Park ride. Best Universal ride ever, in my opinion. I will fight people who disagree, lol.

Agreed. It was compact and immersive. I remember the days of getting off the Tram in that area and going to see the Special Effects show right about where Transformers is now.

Definitely. The former Kongfrontation attraction in Orlando comes pretty close to being universal’s best attraction, however, I think Jurassic is slightly better. They’re both great examples of perfect theme park attractions.

Like many of the Orlando original attractions Kongfrontation was just a updated version of Tram ride. Kongfrontation was cool because it was suspended from the ceiling. The original tram version was on an elevated bridge. It was also featured in The Wizard movie. I remember the Christmas overlay with Santa Kong.

It's hard to be afraid of an old motel outside Whoville.

I agree! I miss ET being at Hollywood. Mummy is good but it should not have replaced ET.

 

[Phroobar]

Mummy would be an amazing ride if it didn't go from great sets/animatronics to neon mummy signs. How tacky.

It's Universal's version of Rock'n Roller coaster. Just as tacky either way.

DAD?

I agree it's a great ride until that part. Plus the coaster portion is way too short. Orlando's version is much better.
