A new year of thrills is coming to Universal Studios Hollywood. The park has released its 2027 Event Guide, a planning tool meant to help guests make the most of their visits and craft the “Best Day in L.A.” with memorable moments and standout experiences.
Meet the Diamond Annual Pass
The big news for 2027 is a brand-new top-tier pass. The Diamond Annual Pass is available for purchase now and is aimed squarely at the park’s most devoted fans. Its perks include:
- Universal Express access
- No blockout dates
- General parking
- One Halloween Horror Nights ticket
- One Universal Fan Fest Nights ticket
- One VIP Experience ticket
- 20% off in-park food, beverages, and merchandise
- Invitations to special events
- Discounted Universal Studios Hollywood tickets for friends and family
- 10-15% off at Universal CityWalk Hollywood venues
Holiday Savings on Other Passes
If Diamond isn’t the right fit, there are other ways to save. For a limited time, guests can get up to $50 off the Platinum Annual Pass, Gold Annual Pass, Silver Annual Pass and California Neighbor Pass, which is well timed for holiday gift-giving. You can compare every pass option and its benefits on the Universal Studios Hollywood pass page. Restrictions apply.
What’s Happening in 2027

Whatever pass you choose, there’s plenty to do. The newly opened “Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift” roller coaster headlines the park’s attractions, and fan-favorite seasonal events are returning too. Universal Fan Fest Nights comes back in April with eight immersive experiences to explore, and Halloween Horror Nights arrives in September.
With a new premium pass, new thrills and a full calendar of events, 2027 is shaping up to be a big year at Universal Studios Hollywood.
