Are you insane? Get out of here! The curse is real! Okay, maybe that’s a little dramatic, but today definitely was an interesting day at the Universal Orlando Resort. As soon as we arrived this morning, we were greeted by an amazing new face mask.

The latest mask to arrive is designed for Halloween Horror Nights with a blood red “2020” across the front. This is one of the first pieces of merchandise we’ve seen that has a date since the event was cancelled for this year. We grabbed one to add to our collection of other HHN face masks.

You can now find Halloween Horror Nights merchandise at the Universal Studios Store at the entrance of the park.

Over in San Francisco, by Fast & Furious Supercharged, we spotted the fountain was overflowing. We walked by a little bit later and things had been fixed, but we still had a little laugh at the water creeping towards Fast and Furious.

You can never take too many dragon photos.

The park was extremely busy over the weekend, so it’s nice to see it more calm today.

Umbrellas have been added to the seating area near Central Park Crepes. They’re now open and serving up a variety of sweet and savory crepes. If you can’t decide which one to try first, be sure to read our full review of the entire menu!

Stopping into the Universal Studios Store at CityWalk, we found a new Hogwarts Alumni hat is available for $27.

Over at Islands of Adventure, Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure is closed yet another day following a backstage fire. We just hope it opens by the weekend!

The fishing Sneetch in the lagoon has fallen over and socially distanced himself from his friend. The weather has been crazy lately, and he’s tipped over. You can check out a photo of him before he tipped over here.

The curb is marked for social distancing if you’re watching Oh! The Stories You’ll Hear in Seuss Landing.

The rocks and plants are looking good around the unannounced coaster in Jurassic Park. The detailing of this section has us excited to see more progress. This area is transforming before our eyes while Universal continues to remain silent on the project.

A quick stop at Natural Selections for an empanada. This cart is a great place to stop and grab a snack to eat on-the-go. You can check out our full review of the menu here.

The signage outside of Storm Force Accelatron has been removed over in Marvel Super Hero Island. Prior to the closure, the rider requirements and warnings were listed here.

That’s all for this journey through the parks. Be sure to stay tuned to Universal Parks News Today for more updates.
