Universal Studios Hollywood Builds Three Security Hubs to Create Secured Perimeter

Overview

• Reporting on Friday, June 12, 2026, multiple outlets observed visible construction and concluded Universal is preparing a coordinated three‑hub security overhaul this summer.
• The hubs are reported to be a West checkpoint in the Jurassic parking structure on Green Level Four, an East hub at the former iFly site near ET parking, and a Central hub serving CityWalk.
• New screening equipment being installed includes TSA‑style metal detectors and X‑ray scanning intended to push screening outward so guests enter a secured perimeter once cleared.
• Universal has added a permanent Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department sub‑station in CityWalk, and several access points and pathways are being reconfigured, with tram, Metro and multiple parking routes expected to change.
• A social‑media post set a June 17 start date for full operation but that timeline remains unverified in coverage, and outlets say the redesign aims to reduce bottlenecks and could influence how other parks manage arrivals.
