Universal Fan Fest Nights 2026 - Speculation & Rumors

[highdefrex]

I’m surprised they didn’t try extending the event by an extra weekend or two this year, but I guess it’s smarter to hedge their bets “just in case” there’s a sophomore slump this soon into its existence.

Personally, I'm hoping they add more dates if initial sales do well. I don't think it is entirely out of the realm of possibility.

I wonder where in the backlot this experience will take place. It'd be incredible if it took place in Little Europe but I don't know if there's good drop off and pick up locations for that area. But I'm sure that if Universal wanted to, they'd find a way to pull it off.

Such a cool cross over

Very excited for this, if somehow we can do this plus BTTF in the court house great if not...I will miss BTTF but I'm down with something new and also a CROSS OVER?

This could be fun if they start doing more cross overs....animes....beetle juice cross ghost busters....so many things you can with cross overs.....Transformers vs Godzillia? Just endless fun

Weird that this is on the backlot. Kinda expected them to just dress up the characters and do something in their normal meet and greet spot. It's cool that it's more than that, but worries me that BTTF isn't returning. Without BTTF, I don't see this event having the value that it did previously.

Monsters just got a land, they are a big draw

Scooby is also big

I love BTTF but this event is about fandoms and people love those two IPs and if its fun that will draw people plus if they announce a Once Piece show that will draw more then enough people and most will want to go try this

I'm a bit sad BTTF wont be coming back, but this is probably for the best. It's good to differentiate the offerings between years.

After this announcement I think it’s clear the BTTF backlog experience isn’t returning. It would be great if they can make up for that by overlaying Simpsons for BTTF, but idk how Fox/Disney would feel.

I guess the rumors about studio operations not liking it were true .

Anyways, excited to see what the rest of the line up is. Maybe the lack of BTTF will allow them to devote more energy to the in-park experiences, especially with data from the last even to work with.

No...? It's been stated that this experience will also be on the studio lot. I think it is likely that switching things up was always a part of their plan.

I see tickets are they not selling express? That would be wonderful

It seems like they will be coming later. The website says general admission tickets do not include early entry, which implies early entry (and other add-ons) will be a thing.
