    This Just In - Current USH Happenings

    Off the top of my head, the songs come from: Jaws, Sing, Seabiscuit, Apollo 13, Jurassic World, and Milk. I'm not sure about the names of the specific songs though.

    This Just In - Current USH Happenings

    I'm surprised this hasn't been discussed yet... Has anyone heard the new entrance music that now plays inside the main gate and down the main thoroughfare into the park? It debuted toward the beginning of May so it's fairly new. I personally love it much more than the former loop. I feel it...

    Studio Tour

    In other news, I believe Earthquake to be going under a slight refurb in the near future. This is not official, strictly hearsay from drivers/guides. But after having prop pieces literally fall onto the floor from being jostled so much (prop lights, worker scaffold, payphone), I believe a refurb...

    Pshhh of course! They have a fully-functional New York set at their disposal. So naturally, they use a green screen! Didn't you know that? nah me either :what:

    Jurassic Park: The Ride (Now Closed)

    Considering Tech. Svcs doesn't even bother to do most things in terms of general upkeep of that ride (replacing light bulbs, repairing audio cues, fixing the fogging/misting effects), I think turning off "The Girl from Ipanema" is probably the least of their worries at this point. Hopefully the...

    Jurassic Park: The Ride (Now Closed)

    They seldom start and stop it anymore. They leave it running continuously through the night, even when the ride is shut down. It's a very spooky thing to hear walking through there after-hours, only hearing a low bitrate snippet of "The Girl from Ipanema" playing through a single speaker.

    Universal Cinema

    If anyone hasn't been, I recommend it. It has a steep ticket price, but the seats and service are excellent. Not to mention downright convenient after spending some time at the Park!

    The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hollywood

    Nope! There's an object sensor at the end of the moving walkway that sometimes activates and stops the ride when someone's foot crosses it. That's why they ask people to life their legs

    The Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Hollywood

    People always try stupid things at the park thinking they're getting away from it. What most don't realize is that the park, and especially Potter is riddled with infrared security cameras. There are very few areas in the park where you are not being watched by someone.  An individual lighting...

    Are the rumors true? Is the back of his head actually green?  :huh:

    Super Nintendo World - Hollywood (General Discussion)

    Yes, most likely lower lot.

    CityWalk Hollywood

    It's always been a Universal cinema. It's just run by AMC, and will continue to be. The construction is expected to be completed by early 2017. -CW

    CityWalk Hollywood

    Last time I checked, the progress has mostly been internal with very little-to-no exterior progress being made.  I will keep checking for you. -CW

    CityWalk Hollywood

    As of right now, it is not synced with any music. It just goes through a pre-set cycle.  Kids will be allowed to play in the fountains once it reopens.  -CW

    CityWalk Hollywood

    The fountains were custom ordered. On top of that, each fountain had to be wired and connected to water individually. This fountain is a lot more complex than the previous fountain which used considerably less pumps. In the new fountain, each fountain nozzle has its own pump which meant plumbing...

    In regards to those metal posts, could they be part of an arbor?  They seem to be a running motif in the main entrance plaza. -CW
