UNIVERSAL HOLLYWOOD: FAN FEST IS A FUN FEST!

Universal Fan Fest Nights is A Limited-Time, Can’t-Miss Event

ONE PIECE: The Grand Pirate Show drops fans into the world of the Straw Hat Crew — Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji and Chopper — along with appearances by the Marines as the group searches for Pop Greens, or seeds with both instant growth and attack capabilities.

The Straw Hats aren’t alone in their search, with appearances by Buggy and another potential surprise as audiences watch their favorite band of pirates fight off threats on their latest adventure. This includes — stunts and fight choreography, special effects, watercraft, pyrotechnics, and audience engagement — It is an epic show running on Fan Fest nights between April 23 and May 16…

I Ventured into the dark depths of the Forbidden Forest on the Hogwarts grounds as we searched for a lost Hippogriff in this unique walkthrough experience, new this year for Universal Fan Fest Nights. and as a Harry Potter fan, I loved this.

The Care of Magical Creatures professor reveals that Fleetwing, one of the Hogwarts Hippogriffs, has escaped her pen and fled into the Forbidden Forest, and she needs our help to track her down. She asks students with wands to have them at the ready, then has the group collectively cast the Lumos spell to illuminate the path. And your adventure begins. And while you don’t have to have a wand, there are several opportunities to use one if you do bring it. Which makes the experience feel magical..

And as an added bonus, that wasn’t even publicized. There is a Jurassic Park experience as well. You see dinosaurs and props from the films. You can meet John Hammond, Who created Jurassic Park. And Dr. ian Malcolm, our favorite chaos theory proponent, and others. But be careful because there are dinosaurs roaming about. And when I was there, a group of Raptors almost Escaped, in a great Dino vs human stunt show.

UNIVERSAL FAN FEST IS A GREAT TIME. There is so much to see and do. And so many great new food options to explore. I think you’re gonna need at least two visits to see everything.
