USH FanFest 2026

Universal Studios Hollywood FanFest was back for their 2nd year. FanFest lasts only a few week in April and May on select nights. We had the chance to stop during their opening weekend. It was Scooby-Doo x Universal Monsters that attracted us to attend this year. They brought back Dungeons and Dragons and the Colorful Yoshi in Super Nintendo World. New additions this year was the brand new One Piece Grand Pirate Show at the Waterworld location, Harry Potter Forbidden Forest, Sailor Moon Screening and a Jurassic Park / World walkthrough that showed off various vehicles, dinosaurs and movie props as well as really great actors to bring to life the characters from the movies.
