Universal Fan Fest Nights 2026

[Jerroddragon]

Too tired to write much but night two was much better

I enjoy the monster mini shows or vignettes. The clues are still mostly hard to get to but the cure of this attraction is really great

Only need to meet sailor moon, Sanji and Mario and Yoshi and I’ve done it all

Supposedly showtimes for One Piece: Grand Pirate Show are being adjusted. All 3 are being bumped up by 15 min. Showtimes will be 8:15pm, 10:15pm and 11:45pm.

one piece is going to change the way this event is ran. I expect it to stay or they keep finding anime to bring over.

We left at 1:30 last night and there was still a long line over by Sanji’s for food. It’s insane!

Way back in the day, they had gauged interest for a version of Universal Cool from Osaka, to be brought over to Hollywood as a Premium HHN event but with the Universal Cool style of content.

I have to wonder if Yoshi, Sailor Moon and One Piece (especially One Piece) reshape the way Universal does this event going forward on a massive level. Anime, and Japanese media through experiences like what we have with this year's event, could prove exceptionally bountiful especially if they allow it the chance to flesh out.

Yeah it’s becoming pretty clear the biggest draw are the anime IPs. I’m even baffled how popular the food is for One Piece!

I actually remember that one too. Maybe it's what eventually led to the inception of FFN, but I'm curious to see where they'll take anime going forward with how it's definitely a hit.

 

[Captain Spaulding]

Anyone know how soon and how big a line outside WWOHP before opening? Want to hit Forest early without express and do express after dark.

I'm also wondering if anyone knows if the One Piece meet and greet after the final One Piece showtime has all Straw Hat Pirates, much like how the final stretch of last year had all Pirates in the same place. When I gave it a shot around 8-9PM, it periodically rotated between Luffy with Sanji and Usopp and Luffy with Zoro and Nami .

Thursday, It did. Friday, it was split up, but always featured Luffy.

To my mind, their best bet is to keep a mix of anime and more easy to sell properties like JP, Scooby, Monsters, BTTF, Star Trek, HP, etc

Hopefully they keep the wide swath of interests intact

My curiosity is if the reaction to Sailor Moon means she will be returning in the same capacity next year or if she could be expanded to a walkthrough?

I suspect Sailor Moon will transition to another Legacy IP for the sake of DreamWorks Theater--and they do have a slam dunk option if they wanna go for it; that being Evangelion x Godzilla.

NGL if that comes here, I think I'd be excited for some Zilla merch!

Correct me if I’m wrong, wasn’t the budget for last year like 300 million? I’d be curious as to what it was this year. I loved One Piece (binged up to Usopp’s introduction arc in prep, still felt a little lost but hey) and I’m currently at my second stop, Scooby Doo.

This is really cute, but I can tell they had a reduced budget across the board and that it mostly went other places. Excited to see HP.

They clearly need to do more anime… I NEED to see Evangelion and Jojo. Not quite as strictly PG as OP and Sailor moon, but they could easily make them so to work at the event.

hey guys I think this One Piece IP is quite popular.

I would be shocked if this wasn’t coming back next year. Universal seriously struck gold with this IP.

Maybe we should start talking about a One Piece land more seriously now?

Saw a instagram reel post for One Piece reaching 1 million likes.

So when are we replacing toon lagoon with One Piece?
