Summer is right around the corner and there seem to be a few nice changes around Universal Studios Hollywood before the summer crowds hit. It was a very nice averagely crowded Friday with nice operating hours, so I made sure to spend some time at the park today. In today’s update we’ll look at a bunch of Jurassic Park related changes at the park and Studio Tour, as well as maze preparations for Halloween Horror Nights, the new Walking Dead Attraction, and more!

Universal Studios Hollywood Update – May 20th 2016
Here we are folks, in the final stretch. Track has been completed, systems have been tested, and the opening date of 
This week at Knott’s Berry Farm, all kinds of projects around the park are making tons of progress. Now that some schools are slowly entering their summer break, it’s time to prepare for students, camps and families to fill the queues. Without further ado, let’s jump right in to this week’s Knott’s Berry Farm update!
Where else to go to ride some coaster than Six Flags Magic Mountain right next door? It’s been weird weather the past few days, and today was no different. This did mean that it wasn’t all that crowded in the park, so a quick run in and out of the park meant I could hop on several rides. In today’s update we’ll take some quick looks at the Hurricane Harbor expansion/upgrade, Tidal Wave, the 2017 project, and a bunch of other quick things! 
After a whole lot of theme parks all around the states in the past week and a half, I was finally able to return to my home park, Six Flags Magic Mountain! It sure was a good time to return as there are lots of things going on around the park and Hurricane Harbor, including the upcoming Grad Nite event, The New Revolution that’s now officially opened, tree removal, construction over at the old Action Theater, new slides, and a whole lot more! 
I was in need of another Harry Potter filled day at Universal Studios Hollywood! And I sure wasn’t the only one, as some of the heaviest weekday crowds (since the opening of the new land) joined me. There’s not too much to update on when it comes to the park in general, so there’s a sweet short update ahead, which includes a look at a FULL Forbidden Journey queue through the dark forest! 
After a very large update last week, this week brings us an update that’s a bit easier to chew on. The park was busy as ever this weekend, which, of course, meant that lines were long. Unfortunately, two of the park’s signature attractions are down for maintenance/refurbishments, which doesn’t bode well for the crowds at other popular attractions. However, it’s always good to have work being done, making the park a more enjoyable place! Let’s get started, and check out this week’s progress at Knott’s Berry Farm!
We were lucky enough to have both our Northern and Southern California members in attendance for today’s visit to California’s Great America. With Mass Effect: New Earth on the horizon, as well as many other changes around the park we both had plenty to cover. Please enjoy the following update! 
Six Flags Discovery Kingdom invited multiple websites and media outlets to a Joker construction tour at the park. Of course we were there. After the many construction updates we’ve brought you guys over the past few months, it was great to take another behind-the-scenes look at California’s newest coaster. Below you’ll find a multitude of awesome shots and exclusive information regarding this new RMC masterpiece! 
It’s been some time since our last Six Flags Discovery Kingdom update, but we are happy to be back providing coverage from such a wonderful park besides our Joker Updates. It was a beautiful day, with quite crowded as a result. A lot of change has occurred during our brief hiatus, so here we are to tell you all about it. 
With spring in full swing here in Buena Park, I figured it’d be a great time to swing by Knott’s Berry Farm! Luckily I was able to beat some of the crowds this morning, because by noon, most of the signature attractions had wait times of at least an hour! There are definitely some interesting changes around the Farm this week, so let’s check them out in the park update below!
Never a dull moment in California, our 3rd update this weekend is from Six Flags Magic Mountain! Where 2017 construction has begun, Jet Stream has reopened, Grad Nite preparation is in full swing, there are some more New Revolution changes, and landscaping changes! Let’s enjoy this wonderful weather and dive right into today’s new Six Flags Magic Mountain Update! 
We’re in the home stretch ladies in gentlemen, we really are. The Joker’s construction process has been accelerated dramatically, and there are only one or two elements left to install on the entire ride. As the physical construction becomes closer and closer to being finished, it’s hard not to begin anticipating what is sure to be one of the best in our lovely state, The Joker. 
Now the Wizarding World of Harry Potter has officially opened, and I had a free day, of course I made my way out to Universal Studios Hollywood again, as for some reason I simply can not get enough of Forbidden Journey. And I’m sure some of you know exactly why, and how awesome that ride is… In addition, I took some pictures around the park to create a quick park update, which is found below! 
It was time for a Six Flags Magic Mountain visit again, and even though the weather was weird (as you will see in the pictures) I had a fun quick trip, and the crowds were very mild. In today’s update we’ll be looking at several changes around the park, new ads regarding The New Revolution and the All Season Flash Pass, tracer lights around the loop of The New Revolution, the Action Theater area, and a whole lot more! 
We’re only a few days away from The Wizarding World of Harry Potter opening here at Universal Studios Hollywood, we had to check out the last technical rehearsals of course. Here’s a little update from our visit to the park this weekend, including potter sight-lines, back lot construction, new LudoBird on CityWalk, and other changes around the park! WE ALSO INCLUDED IMPORTANT OPENING DAY INFORMATION.
It was a wonderful day out at Six Flags Magic Mountain, nice Spring weather before the crushing summer heat. Surprisingly the park wasn’t too busy today. The crowds seemed to disappear around 6PM allowing for marathon-rides on several of the park’s bigger coasters. There are several changes around the park, including the new Full Throttle light package, and the new slides that are coming to Hurricane Harbor and all the juicy details surrounding them. 
As The Joker’s construction progresses, it is becoming more and more clear what the final product will look like. Our 
California’s Great America has finally reopened for the 2016 season, and we Northern Californian coaster enthusiasts couldn’t be more excited. Although, there was less fanfare than there has been on previous opening days, it was great to be back at the park nonetheless, and of course, we’re here to tell you all about it. 
Later this week Six Flags Magic Mountain’s new 2016 addition, The New Revolution, will start running for Season Pass Previews. I’ll be taking a look at the ride later this week as well, so here’s our last update before it starts running with guests! We also have a bunch more Six Flags Magic Mountain update content from all around the park, including a look at Scream!’s new colored and freshly refurbished trains!
