\"\"<\/p>\n

After more than a year of Covid-related closures, Disneyland\u00a0will also be reopening at limited capacity on April 30.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are incredibly thrilled to finally be able to open Universal Studios Hollywood,<\/p>\n

return team members to work and welcome guests back to enjoy our amazing rides,\u201d<\/p>\n

said Karen Irwin, President & COO, Universal Studios Hollywood.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cIt has been a very challenging year and we are overjoyed to have arrived at this moment.\u201d<\/p>\n

Most rides will be operational but some rides and attractions will reopen at a later date to comply with government restrictions. This also means the park will only be open to California residents<\/strong><\/a> at first.<\/p>\n

New attractions will include \u201cThe Secret Life of Pets:\u00a0 Off the Leash!\u201d and \u201cJurassic World-The Ride,\u201d which features the \u201cspectacularly realistic\u201d new dinosaur, Indominus rex.<\/p>\n

\u201cUniversal Studios Hollywood continues to work in partnership with health and government officials…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

to implement new health and safety procedures that include controlled capacity to enforce physical distancing and required face coverings. In accordance with government guidelines, only California residents may visit the theme park at this time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tickets to Universal Studios Hollywood<\/a> \u2014 for California residents only \u2014 can be purchased online starting April 8.<\/h3>\n

The theme park will also celebrate Annual and Season Pass Members with a series of complimentary Bonus Days on select days from Thursday, April 15 through Sunday, May 16. The Bonus Days can be reserved by Annual and Season Pass Members online starting on Monday, April 5. Annual and Season Pass Members will be able to resume regular use of their passes starting on Monday, May 17.<\/p>\n

Due to capacity limits, until further notice, guests with unredeemed tickets purchased prior to April 8, 2021 will need to make an advance reservation for their visit dates.<\/p>\n

What guests can expect:<\/strong><\/p>\n

A stroll along the cleverly themed Pets Place will bring guests to the front of Katie\u2019s NYC apartment building where the innovative \u201cThe Secret Life of Pets:\u00a0 Off the Leash!\u201d ride resides.<\/p>\n

\n

This all-new tech-savvy adventure inspired by Illumination\u2019s blockbuster\u00a0The Secret Life of Pets<\/em>\u00a0films, answers the question, \u201cWhat are your pets\u00a0really<\/em>\u00a0doing when you\u2019re not at home?\u201d<\/p>\n

This impressive new ride combines 64 technologically-advanced animated figures with hyper-realistic media and projection mapping designed to take guests on a journey to meet some of their favorite Illumination characters from the movies, including Max, Snowball, Gidget, Chloe and Duke, along with a host of other animal friends, who have all been transformed and transported into the live-action world.<\/p>\n

From blinking eyes to eyebrow movements, from head tilts to head nods, from moving mouths to smiles, from ear curls to lip curls, from full torso twists to physically walking, the depth of mobility and function programmed within each of these loveable characters creates an experience unlike any other theme park ride.<\/p>\n

The grand reopening of Universal Studios Hollywood also brings guests face-to-face with \u201cJurassic World\u2014The Ride\u2019s\u201d all-new, extraordinarily realistic dinosaur, the Indominus rex, who stakes her claim at the ride\u2019s finale in a forceful battle with her arch-rival, the Tyrannosaurus rex.<\/p>\n

Breaking new ground with highly complex innovations, this fully-articulated lifelike Indominus injects intense new thrills, excitement and intrigue to the already dynamic ride.\u00a0 Spanning nearly 55 feet horizontally from head to tail and over 22 feet vertically, the Indominus\u2019 imposing presence will be amplified by the fluidity of her motions and synchronized movements that deliver an unprecedented level of authenticity.<\/p>\n

From the subtle blinking of her eyes, the flexing of her arms and claws and clenching of her jaw as she bears her razor-sharp teeth, the colossal Indominus rex will lunge from her hillside setting, stalking guests just before they descend the giant waterfall drop to escape her grasp.<\/p>\n

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 \u201cThe Wizarding World of Harry Potter™\u201d which features a bustling Hogsmeade village and the critically-acclaimed rides, \u201cHarry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™\u201d and \u201cFlight of the Hippogriff™\u201d, \u201cTransformers™:\u00a0 The Ride-3D,\u201d \u201cRevenge of the Mummy:\u00a0 The Ride,\u201d\u00a0Despicable Me\u2019s<\/em>\u00a0\u201cSuper Silly Fun Land,\u201d and \u201cSpringfield, U.S.A.,\u201d home of America\u2019s favorite animated family, \u201cThe Simpsons.\u201d The theme park\u2019s 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 \u201cFast & Furious\u2014Supercharged\u201d and \u201cKing Kong 360 3D,\u201d will also open.<\/p>\n

Because the safety and well-being of guests and team members is a top priority for Universal Studios Hollywood, the following guidelines outline the theme park\u2019s new health and safety protocols, also highlighted in this\u00a0video<\/a>\u00a0and detailed on the\u00a0Universal Studios Hollywood website<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u00b7\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Face coverings required for all Guests throughout their visit. Face coverings also will be available for purchase.<\/p>\n
