Overview
- Universal Studios Hollywood is running its after-hours Fan Fest Nights on select dates through May 16, with tickets starting at $72.
- The marquee addition is Scooby-Doo Meets the Universal Monsters, a clue-solving backlot walk-through in Little Europe that ends with a staged unmasking.
- Guests receive a printed Mystery Inc. manual and interact with the Scooby gang and roaming classic monsters, creating a hands-on experience that one review judged stronger than last year.
- A new Forbidden Forest: Search for the Hippogriff walk-through in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter guides groups through a nighttime forest setting, though waits stretched to about two hours at peak.
- Universal also imported Sailor Moon and One Piece shows from its Japan park, while the lineup adds a returning Dungeons & Dragons walk-through, multi-colored Yoshis in Super Nintendo World, and event-specific food and merchandise.
