Let's update what is happening at Universal Studios Hollywood's CityWalk.
Over the past year or so, more than a few storefronts have closed in USH's shopping and dining district. But now signs have gone up on several of those locations, letting fans know what is coming next at CityWalk.
Among those are:
Recent openings include Escapology escape rooms behind Toothsome's and Line Friends Square, which is next to the former Billabong's location that is now a Universal Mega Movie Summer merchandise pop-up. Earlier, Hello Kitty and Friends Cafe opened where Chick Chick Chicken used to be.
But the biggest change coming to CityWalk Hollywood will be the new security screening and entrance, which is now under construction behind NBC Sports Grill & Brew. When complete, CityWalk will be inside Universal Studios Hollywood's security perimeter, much like Downtown Disney now is at Disneyland. That should make CityWalk's restaurants a more convenient option for USH visitors, as they would not have to go through security again to re-enter the park.
The relocation of the security screening also would allow Universal to repurpose the current screening site for a proposed new hotel.
So far, we have no official opening dates for any of these new locations at CityWalk, though the new restaurants listed above all are expected sometime before the end of the year.
