Some big changes have happened at Universal Studios Hollywood!

New security measures have just gone into effect at Universal Studios Hollywood, and it’s changing how guests access both CityWalk and the theme park. Let’s take a look at what to expect!

According to KTLA 5, there is a new security setup at Universal Hollywood that includes three hubs. Those are
“the main entry plaza, a checkpoint adjacent to the Jurassic Parking structure near NBC Sports Grill & Brew and the new Mr. BBQ restaurant, and another near Margaritaville in the former iFly location.”

“As the Universal Studios Hollywood destination continues to evolve, we are aligning our security protocols with other Universal destinations across the country by adding metal detection hubs adjacent to the parking structures,” said a Universal Studios Hollywood spokesperson in an emailed statement to KTLA.

Previously, guests walked through CityWalk before encountering security to enter Universal Studios Hollywood. Now, the goal for the new system is to place CityWalk inside a secured perimeter. It’s said to be similar to the setup at the Disneyland Resort. There, guests pass through security before accessing Downtown Disney, Disneyland, and Disney California Adventure.

Universal CityWalk will likely see more and more visitors due to major events like the ongoing FIFA World Cup and 2028 Summer Olympics.
