Hollywood


 Serving as the "Main Street" of the park, this is an area dedicated to movie making and the glamour of Hollywood. Here is where guests can experience the City of Stars like never before, and even get a nice glimpse of the lagoon.

When going through the gates, guests will walk down the Avenue of the Stars. On both sides are shops and restaurants, as well as Studio Hall, which is found on the left side towards the park's entrance and gives help and services to customers. To the right is the park's largest gift shop, the Universal Studios Store. Going down the road, guests will find the Darkroom, Studio Snacks, Blockbuster Cafe, and Glitz and Glamour to the right and Hollywood Extras, Animation Station, and Mel's Drive-In to the right. At the end of the road near a lagoon viewing area is where guests can see a statue commemorating Universal's film history. It features a scene with the Minions, Woody Woodpecker, and Frankenstein's Monster, and it is filmed by the Universal Founders.
At the end of the road, guests must make a choice on which way to go. They can turn left and go to Box Office Snacks and the theater where the WaterWorld stunt show plays, leading into Minion Land, or they can go right past a stage where musical acts play. Near the border with the Isle of Berk is a recreation of the Pantages Theater, similar to the recreation in Orlando that houses the Horror Make-Up show. This theater, however, is home to a dark ride similar to Disney's former Great Movie Ride attraction called A Journey Through the Movies. This is a dark ride that travels around scenes from films like Jaws, E.T., King Kong, Jurassic Park, and even some non-Universal films like Top Gun and Harry Potter.

1. Studio Hall

Attractions:
2. WaterWorld
3. A Journey Through the Movies

B. Blockbuster Cafe
C. Mel's Drive-In

This was a simple area to make. I really wasn't looking for too much, just a main street area to have people come in through. However, I wanted to pay tribute to Universal as a movie making company so I had the statue, stunt show, and the ride through the movies.

Egypt

  Guests travel back to the perils of 1920's Egypt, where old archaeological sites hold dark secrets and ancient curses. This is a thrill-seeker's area with its key attraction, although it also has things for younger adventurers too. When entering through Jumanji, guests come into a Middle Eastern bazaar. Here, they can shop at Ancient Accessories and Egyptian Antiques as well as eat at the Explorer's Inn. Further down is a play area for kids, Lost Ruins. Guests can also ride cars through the Egyptian Ruins on the Ruins Exploration Cars, which feature old automobiles hat guests can ride. However, the major attraction of this land is found in an ancient tomb, and it is the Revenge of the Mummy coaster, which is similar to the one in Orlando and Singapore. The ride exits into Mummy Mementos. Sahara Snacks is a nearby snack stand. Attractions: 11. Lost Ruins 12. Ruins Exploration Cars 13. Revenge of the Mummy Dining: AB. Explorer's Inn AC.

Jumanji

  So this might not be a real area in the world, but I still wanted to include it since I ran out of ideas for country and world region-inspired areas. This section is mainly based off the 2017 sequel/reboot series, even though a few nods to the original can be found throughout the land. When guests enter through London, they enter the jungle....literally. They are immediately immersed in a jungle outpost where things from all over the mythical land of the game are seen. Nearby is Nigel's Cafe, a dining location, while Traders of Jumanji is located nearby as well. Towards the back of the area is Jaguar River Rapids, where guests ride rafts through Jumanji, only to come across some supernatural perils. The key attraction of this area is found further on. Here, guests will board EMV jeeps (similar to Disneyland's Indiana Jones Adventure ride) and travel through Jumanji on a ride combining animatronics, screens, and visual effects known as the Jumanji Expedition.   Lost Treasures...
