Hollywood

 

Guests enter the park through a romanticized version of Hollywood. Here, guests can feel like they're the stars of their own show, and even see some Hollywood-level entertainment and attractions.

After walking past the iconic spinning globe and beneath the gates, guests find themselves in a square area. Here, they can shop at the park's largest gift shop, Universal Studios Store, on the right, and find help and services at Studio Hall on the left. In the center of this square is a statue paying tribute to Universal's legacy. It features a fountain with King Kong, Woody Woodpecker, Frankenstein's Monster, and the Minions, being filmed by the founders of Universal. Going down the street towards the central lagoon, guests pass by Studio Express, Animation Station, and the Universal Theater, where guests can watch the Movie-Making Magic show, where many practical effects are revealed, all of which are found on the left side. On the right side is where guests can shop at The Darkroom, dine at Blockbuster Bistro, and eat at the Hollywood Brown Derby Restaurant, found on the right. Between these two restaurants is a passage to a large amphitheater where WaterWorld, the acclaimed stunt show, plays. On this road are stars similar to the walk of Fame, but instead of celebrities, the stars have the names of people who worked on the park.
When guests finally make it to the water's edge, they will find the viewing area for nighttime entertainment. Here is where the road splits. They can turn left down Music Street or go right to Illumination Avenue. On Music Street is where guests will find Mel's Drive-In, a 1950's-style burger joint, as well as a stage where musical acts would perform throughout the year, next to which Box Office Snacks can be found. Going further will take guests to London.
Going right will take guests down Illumination avenue. Here, guests can eat at Minion Cafe, a restaurant themed to the Minions. Closeby is a recreation of Gru's house, where guests can ride Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem. The ride exits into Minion Mart. Also in the area is Bake My Day and Banana Bay Market. Going further will take guests to Sci-Fi City.

So I wasn't planning much for this area. I was just looking at a Main Street, but since this is Hollywood, I decided to throw in some behind-the-scenes stuff too. While this may be a miscellaneous area, I tried my best to make it good. Hopefully the rest of the park makes up for it.

Mystical Realms

  In this family area, guests can travel around worlds of fantasy. Here, they can fly with dragons, unlock their inner Kung-Fu warrior, and more. When exiting Super Nintendo World, guests will enter a recreation of Far, Far Away from the Shrek films. Here, guests can eat at the Fairy Tale Tavern, shop at Medieval Times, and find treats at Cherry Lane Bakery. In the center of the village is the Fairy Tale Carousel. Then, guests go into the courtyard of the castle to access one of two attractions: the family coaster known as Magical Airways and the trackless dark ride inside the castle: Puss in Boots: Legend of the Lost Mirror. Guests travel to Far, Far Away to attend the celebration of Shrek and Fiona's wedding anniversary but get sidetracked when they join Puss on a quest beneath the castle. The ride exits into Enchanted Relics. Next up is an area themed to How to Train Your Dragon, recreating the Isle of Berk. Here, guests can pass over a bridge to a Chinese area to see the statue...

  For those who seek adventure, this is the place for you. Here, guests are immersed in exotic locations, where the wild rules supreme. They can see many great things. Dinosaurs, cavemen, animals, and more. When coming across the bridge from London, guests enter the land. The first area that they are introduced to is a jungle area themed to Madagascar. Here, they will find Boabab Bites, a restaurant sitting on the edge of the water. Nearby is King Julien's Tree Swings, which overlook the land as it sits by the water that surrounds Crood island. As they go through the jungle, guests can also eat at Marty's and shop at Washed-up Wares. At the edge of the area is where guests can ride the family boat ride, Madagascar: A Crate Adventure, inspired by a former attraction in Singapore.
