Universal Studios Hollywood officially announced that they are re-opening April 16 after more than a year of closure. The park will hold a special preview for Annual and Season Pass Members starting on Thursday, April 15.

Most rides will be operational when the park opens, but a few attractions will reopen at a later date as Universal Studios complies with government restrictions. The state has restriction on indoor ride length and indoor queues, and our guess is that might limit some of the attractions that can open right now.

“We are incredibly thrilled to finally be able to open Universal Studios Hollywood, return team members to work and welcome guests back to enjoy our amazing rides,” said Karen Irwin, President & COO, Universal Studios Hollywood. “It has been a very challenging year and we are overjoyed to have arrived at this moment.”
It sounds like the park will re-open with the all-new “The Secret Life of Pets: Off the Leash!” attraction. It was supposed to open last March, but lockdowns went into effect right before it’s schedule opening date. This new “tech-savvy” adventure inspired by Illumination’s blockbuster The Secret Life of Pets films, answers the question, “What are your pets really doing when you’re not at home?”

Also, remember that Jurassic World was only open less than a year before shut downs. Now, when it re-opens, it’ll feature a new Indominus Rex dinosaur in the final section. So, it’s kind of like we’re getting two new attractions with this re-opening.
Of course, these new experiences are among the many welcoming attractions and themed environments that await guests upon their return to Universal Studios Hollywood, including “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™” which features a bustling Hogsmeade village and the critically-acclaimed rides, “Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™” and “Flight of the Hippogriff™”, “Transformers™: The Ride-3D,” “Revenge of the Mummy: The Ride,” Despicable Me’s “Super Silly Fun Land,” and “Springfield, U.S.A.,” home of America’s favorite animated family, “The Simpsons.” The theme park’s signature attraction and world-renowned Studio Tour, which takes guests behind-the-scenes of an authentic production movie and television studio and where they can experience such thrill rides as “Fast & Furious—Supercharged” and “King Kong 360 3D,” will also open.
