Universal Fan Fest Nights 2026 Brings ONE PIECE Stunt Show, Scooby-Doo Mystery & More to Universal Studios Hollywood
Anime, monsters, wizards, and even a few Yoshis are about to collide in the most delightfully chaotic way possible. Universal Studios Hollywood has officially revealed its full lineup for Universal Fan Fest Nights 2026, and it reads like a fandom dream playlist turned into a theme park takeover.

Leading the charge is the debut of “ONE PIECE: Grand Pirate Show,” a high-energy live stunt spectacular taking over the iconic WaterWorld venue. Inspired by the wildly popular version at Universal Studios Japan, this 20-minute show drops guests into the world of ONE PIECE as Luffy and the Straw Hat Crew hunt for rare Pop Greens on the mysterious Midori Island. Of course, things spiral into glorious chaos when Marines storm the island and Buggy the Clown crashes the party, triggering explosive stunts, pyrotechnics, and plenty of swashbuckling mayhem.
But that is just one piece of the puzzle.
Fan Fest Nights is stacking its lineup like a Comic-Con meets HHN remix, minus the jump scares and with a whole lot more cosplay energy. Guests can step into “Scooby-Doo Meets the Universal Monsters,” a backlot mystery adventure featuring Scooby-Doo and classic creatures like Frankenstein and Dracula, all set across real filming locations.
Over in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, guests will venture into the Forbidden Forest on a magical quest to rescue a Hippogriff, complete with spell-casting challenges and creature encounters straight out of the wizarding world.

Anime fans can catch “Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon the Miracle: Moon Palace Chapter Deluxe,” a subtitled CG experience starring Sailor Moon inside the DreamWorks Theatre, while fantasy lovers can return to “DUNGEONS & DRAGONS: Secrets of Waterdeep,” featuring the iconic beholder Xanathar brought to life by Jim Henson’s Creature Shop.
And over in SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, things are getting extra colorful with a brand-new Yoshi celebration, where guests can meet multiple vibrant Yoshis scattered throughout the Mushroom Kingdom.
The separately ticketed event runs select nights from April 23 through May 16, 2026, offering everything from general admission to VIP tours, express passes, and even an Ultimate Fandom Pass for those ready to go full superfan mode. Guests can also enjoy select attractions during the event, including Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, Jurassic World The Ride, and Revenge of the Mummy.
