Proof of Vaccination or Negative COVID-19 Test for guests 12 & up required to enter Universal Studios Hollywood beginning October 7

Universal Studios Hollywood has updated their operational safety guidelines, now requiring guests ages 12 and older to show proof of full COVID-19 vaccination or a negative test taken within 72 hours of visit to enter the theme park beginning October 7. This update comes in conjunction with LA Count

Face Masks on at all time and either a negative test or COVID shot required to enter

Hope they drop the outdoor mask requirement.

I checked into that. They currently can't, as they are now considered an outdoor "mega event."

Why isn’t SFMM mandating them? Or does it start on the 7th?


Interesting find on the email they sent out right now. Says verification is dependent on attendance. Does this mean on slow days they don’t check? And on peak days do they only check after 10,000 people have entered?

However, it has been confirmed if attendance is under 10,000, they don't have to enforce it. This will occur a lot at Magic Mountain as attendance is low during the week.

So how is this enforced when they hit 10,000 partway through the day?

Or do they just use their estimates to determine if it will be enforced on any given day?

Simple, they just bring out people to check at or before the guests reach security when the attendance number is hit. I imagine they are just going to check on Saturdays and Sundays

 

[Jerroddragon]

While they wont be checking most days, weekends and HHN event nights I'd think they would.

But Doubt they need to check most weekdays unless its a HHN event

The bus from Fortnite
Not sure what the cross promotion is for since they don’t have a full coming out or anything

From what I heard is HHN will not be affected, Universal decreased the number of fastpasses to have a greater cushion before hitting 10,000..I wonder if that was the reason why regular admission prices went up. November and December is around the corner, we all know during the holiday season it gets very busy. If there is a surge like last year I imagine Universal will be very strict enforcing masks and vaccines.

 

[Clive]

Universal regularly (almost always) admits more than 10,000 people on HHN event nights.

 

[Stryker]

SFMM will require proof of vaccination on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays so it looks like they don't think they'll hit 10,000 guests Monday-Thursday, unless it's a holiday I'm assuming. They'll also have free rapid tests for those who can't produce proof of vaccination or a negative test result within 72 hours.

How does reducing Express Passes (not fastpasses) reduce attendance?

 

[Jerroddragon]

so universal monsters skins are in/coming to Fortnite which is why the battle pass is in front of the theater.

Fortnite Battle Bus Spotted at Universal Studios Hollywood

As part of Fortnite's annual Fortnitemares Event, Universal Studios Hollywood attendees can check out the Battle Bus and cosplay characters based on the game throughout the month of October. This Fortnite content can be found at CityWalk, and images of the bus have been shared online by [...]

I noticed there isn't a general update, so I decided to make a new one.

Google Earth has been updated to August 1st, 2021! Some small notes; more specifically showing the size for Barham, Solar panels now on the Red Sea stages, and showing the ants infesting the parks---I-I mean, the lovely guests!

Found a pretty cool fun map of Universal Hollywood drawn by Disney Imagineer Jim Shull, although it's not fully complete yet. He even included Nintendo World in the map too:

 

[Jerroddragon]

I'd love that to be the offical map....looks so exciting

 

[AlexanderMBush]

Yeah no, really hoping Universal gets into contact with Sam and tries to sell prints of it for USH.

Just noticed on some weekdays now the park reduced hours and they are only open till 5. Previously slow days would always be 10am-6pm. I'm thinking it could be low staff, vaccine/outdoor mask requirements, and not enough to do in the park. Have noticed crowds at USH and SFMM have been smaller after the mandates, in comparison to Disneyland (always busy) and Knott's.
