Universal To Introduce Fan Fest Nights: Step Into the Worlds of Star Trek, Back to the Future & More!

Universal Studios is gearing up for an exciting year in 2025! While Universal Orlando is preparing to launch its massive Epic Universe expansion, Universal Studios Hollywood has its own big surprise—Universal Fan Fest Nights.
This after-hours special event is designed to bring the same excitement as Halloween Horror Nights but with a twist—no scares, just pure fandom fun. The event will transport guests into incredibly detailed worlds inspired by popular franchises like Star Trek, Back to the Future, Dungeons & Dragons, One Piece, Jujutsu Kaisen, and more. Fans can also enjoy a stunning light projection show in the Harry Potter-themed area and even meet Yoshi at Super Nintendo World.
While it may not be as immersive as some theme parks in Japan, it promises a one-of-a-kind experience for fans who want to step inside their favorite stories.
Here’s what fans can expect:
- Star Trek: Red Alert – Step aboard the Enterprise-D during an enemy attack in a walk-through attraction that features the actual set from Star Trek: Picard Season 3. With special effects and live performers, this promises to be a thrilling and cinematic experience.
- Back to the Future Experience – Take the Studio Tour tram to the original Hill Valley backlot set, where fans can witness a recreation of the Clock Tower lightning strike and the Enchantment Under the Sea Dance.
- Dungeons & Dragons: Secrets of Waterdeep – Join the Harpers in a quest to defeat Xanathar the Beholder and save Waterdeep in an interactive adventure. Universal has even teamed up with Jim Henson’s Creature Shop to bring Xanathar to life.
- One Piece & Jujutsu Kaisen Attractions – Anime fans will love an immersive One Piece-themed area and a brand-new Jujutsu Kaisen 4-D ride at the DreamWorks Theater.
Universal Fan Fest Nights will run on select nights from April 25 to May 28, 2025, at Universal Studios Hollywood. Tickets are now available on their website!
