Hey All!

Can you believe Universal CityWalk celebrated its 20th birthday with a blockbuster-worthy bash that included the cars from Universal Picturesā€™ ā€œFast & Furiousā€ films! The cars are on display at CityWalk in time for the much-anticipated movie opening weekend and the launch of the summer blockbuster season.Ā  A life-sized wax figure of Vin Diesel from Madame Tussauds Hollywood is also on display with the ā€œFast & Furiousā€ cars. So essentially Vin was there for the celebration as well.

A retrospective of eight original, souped-up prop cars, including three from ā€œFast & Furious 6ā€ were staged at ā€œ5 Towersā€ on CityWalk to help get the birthday party started.Ā  With an exciting slate of blockbuster movies poised to reign over Hollywood this summer, Universal CityWalk will become LAā€™s blockbuster movie destination where guests can join the fun and see the latest hit movie for only $2 in parking or ā€˜Movie Buffs to Park for $2 Bucks.ā€™
