The holiday weekend crowds are long gone and the Universal Orlando Resort is back to slow, mid-week crowds. We have no complaints about slow days in the park, though.

We arrived around noon and decided to make our way through CityWalk towards Islands of Adventure.

It feels like a ghost town at times.

Let’s make our way over to Jurassic Park and see what’s happening around “Velocicoaster”.

The crane is being disassembled on the construction site in Jurassic Park, which is an interesting process to stop and watch.

There is also some fresh landscaping around the coaster track and new plants are just visible over the construction walls. The construction walls are also extended out around the planters near Burger Digs.

You know it’s a slow day when one of the Butterbeer carts in Hogsmeade is closed.

Hogsmeade is busy, as usual, and Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure was posted at a 25 minute wait.

Over in The Lost Continent, a new character location has been added near Mythos. You can now meet Gloria from Madagascar and Tigress from Kung Fu Panda.

Just a quick snack of Pita and Peanut Butter Hummus from Fire Eater’s Grill.

The Halloween Horror Nights Tribute Store is hosting another signing event on September 15 from 1 PM ti 4 PM with Brian Beauregard and TJ Mannarino.

Dr. Frankenstein was throwing a rave today with some crazy color-changing lights under his monster.

There really weren’t any crowds today, but the afternoon rain cleared the streets, making it look even more dead.

Thanks for joining us today around the parks. Be sure to keep following Universal Parks News Today for even more updates!
