Happy Lunar New Year, readers!
The “Year of the Rooster” is finally here and Universal Studios Hollywood is helping everyone in Southern California celebrate with holiday-themed attractions throughout the park.
Last week, the Celeb Secrets team had the opportunity to visit the park and check out all of the attractions for the Lunar New Year, and we’re dishing about our experience in this exclusive blog!
Although the weather remained chilly, it didn’t stop us from visiting the park to see all of the activities. One of our favorite sights was inside the heart of the theme park’s Universal Plaza — it was absolutely breathtaking as we witnessed a curtain of customary red Chinese lanterns and a stunning plum blossom arch.
With an array of decorations, it’s hard to chose what we loved the most, but the “wishing trees” were definitely a highlight. Guests are able to share on a bright red card their wishes for the New Year. You bet the Celeb Secrets Team put their wishes on the blossom trees circling around the Plaza.
While Curious George shared with us his wish for more bananas this year, Woody Woodpecker wanted to excitedly share with us the different festivities – but reassured us he was the main attraction of the celebration!
Don’t tell Woody Woodpecker, but the highlight of the time honored tradition marked its return with the ominous 12-foot-tall Mandarin-speaking MEGATRON, who will engage guests in conversation characteristic of his persona. We got to interact with MEGATRON one-on-one and pleaded for our life, luckily he let us down easy with a slight attack of fear.
The Lunar New Year Event is included in the Price of Theme Park Admission and will run from January 21st to February 5th. For more information, visit http://universalstudioshollywood.com.
