Latest Universal Studios Hollywood Plan Suggests Closure of Waterworld

Future of Waterworld in Question as Universal Studios Hollywood Plans Emerge

According to Universal Studios Hollywood, there are currently no plans to replace its Waterworld show. However, the park’s Evolution site plan gives Universal the authority to build new attractions on multiple sites throughout the park and surrounding studio property.

For years, NBCUniversal has been transforming its original Universal City property under what the company calls its “Evolution Plan.” Officially designated as Project No. TR068565 by Los Angeles County, which has jurisdiction over the property, the plan includes new studio and theme park facilities.

In the latest filing under the plan, for a new technical services building behind the E.T. parking garage, Universal has filed a conceptual plan for the Evolution project.

att nYtzxfriSTJZqGwRLkDfFAWXSKgfDsjyYPQY

The map reveals several projects that have already been announced, including the new transportation and security hub currently under construction on the former surface parking lot south of NBC Sports Grill & Brew. However, on the other side of CityWalk, a more interesting detail is shown. The site where the WaterWorld theater is currently located is designated for a “New Theme Park Attraction w/ Food & Beverage Retail.”

The concept map also includes a new CityWalk “Future Destination Venue” and a new “Parking/Tram maintenance” location on the empty lot currently used for the Halloween Horror Nights houses for Terrifier and Poltergeist. While Universal has no immediate plans for this site, it could continue to be used for future HHN houses.

New theme park attractions are also designed for the current tram maintenance site, as well as two spots on the backlot. This includes the area next to the old Fast & Furious “dancing cars” and the area around the show cars. While Universal has promised Studio Tour changes following the closure of Fast & Furious: Supercharged, no specific changes for these designated areas have been officially announced.

Finally, the map designates an area next to the Frankenstein parking structure for a 500-room hotel, a project that has long been rumored for the property. This hotel would offer up-close views of the Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift coaster, which is now under construction. However, recent rumors have also placed a 500-room hotel on the current site of the park’s security screening and its adjacent parking lot. Universal has yet to officially announce such a project.
