Universal Fan Fest Nights 2026

[Wesker69]

tbh Fallout...didn't really do as well as I thought it would've. Consistently was one of the lower wait time based experiences, so I could see USH not being as gung-ho

Oh trust me I know haha. I'd be checking the waittimes & was amazed to see Monstrous with the longer waittime lol

Even in it's HHN form (with scares), it was better suited for FanFest than HHN. At least to me & that's coming from someone who wasn't on the guest side

I mean to be fair to Fallout it was also the shortest house and it was against a Killer line up

I would have liked something more like Star Trek but within Fallout, that would have been cool and worked with the season season but anyway not happening but wish they would get more games into Fan Fest

I'm probably going to just get the multi night ticket & literally just do the same thing every visit

Watch OnePiece & visit Scooby/Monsters..

Too bad they couldn't just bring back Hamikuma (and his friends) to take over the Universal Plaza

Thats what I figured. It did seem odd for no casting emails in regards to whatever was going into Ube. Should've just left FALLOUT in place lol

I'd have been down for another round as a Ghoul

tbh Fallout...didn't really do as well as I thought it would've. Consistently was one of the lower wait time based experiences, so I could see USH not being as gung-ho (also, they didn't really have time or choice when it came to figuring out a replacement; so it seems the better option is not to invest into the capital just encase if issues arise on budget bloat).

I kept forgetting to bring it up, but I always wondered if Fallout but repurposed for FFN was the scrapped thing. It seemed likely for an educated guess for what was gonna go in the TWD space as an IP that could have easily worked for both events while saving some dosh, and I can perhaps see it falling short at HHN for why it got scrapped if it was that.

Still a shame regardless though, a repurposed HHN house would have been a cool first for these events, and I would have loved to see how the set would've been modified to remove the scares and dead bodies and try a different approach. Let alone another video game IP represented at FFN.

Nooo... the Ghoul scares during the last portion was the only real strength it had lol (but I'm also biased ). If anything, it needed more scares & dead bodies haha

In regards to Jurassic, with the Spitters "permanently" in the ride, and tree debris/stumps, dino cage(s), a transport boat & t-rex having been relocated.. it seems to solidify the "extinction" of the Jurassic section of the Studio Tour.

I'm curious if the old Spino, crushed jeep with dino-spine/ribs & Lost World vehicles get relocated soon too..

When you bring those up, perhaps they could have been retooled in a more PG-13 manner and much less like a jumpscare, much like how there's a surprise appearance of a Mimic in D&D where your attention is directed to it rather than it being in your face.

As for the JP stuff, wasn't the T-Rex prop previously a promotional statue they only had in CityWalk in the past? I don't remember it being in the tour proper, anyways, I see the other stuff mentioned wasn't posted so here they are.


Damn though, it's sad to think about the tour path they were once in and that it might not ever be used again. Makes me wonder if the Dino Paddock bit they were building is frozen in the progress they were making until the incident happened.

It was there for like a week or two for the 60th and then the Tram accident happened (at the 4:20 time you can see the T rex was on the right ride of the Tram as you exited the Picture cars and went to the Jurassic area on the tram)

Our Old Friend is back on the lower lot (former near the Blue Meet and greet area and then moved to the Tram area...and now back in the lower lot)

"GOOD GRIEF HE'S NAKED!"

(It feels so weird seeing the prop without all the foliage that gives the illusion of obscuring the rest of the Spino's body. I also remember when it used to play sounds when it was once on the Lower Lot)
