About this park

A working movie studio and theme park in the Hollywood Hills, combining the famous Studio Tour with immersive lands including The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Super Nintendo World, and Jurassic World. Steep hills and escalators connect the Upper and Lower Lots, so comfortable shoes and a relaxed pace help.

Highlights

  • Super Nintendo World with Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge
  • The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (Forbidden Journey and Flight of the Hippogriff)
  • Major thrill rides on the Lower Lot: Jurassic World, Transformers, and Revenge of the Mummy
  • WaterWorld and other live shows for mid-day breaks
