Universal Studios Hollywood closes Wednesday due to fires; Disneyland remains open

As fast-moving brush fires rip through parts of Southern California, local businesses, including popular theme parks, are being hit.

Universal Studios announced Wednesday that its California locations, Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal CityWalk, would close for the day due to fire conditions.

“We will continue to assess the situation and expect to open for business tomorrow. The safety of our team members and our guests is our top priority,” Universal Studios said in a statement at X.

Firefighters battle a fire in the foothills of Pacific Palisades, a coastal neighborhood in Los Angeles. Another brush fire broke out in the evening in the Eaton Canyon area near Altadena, prompting mandatory evacuations. Then late Tuesday night, the Hurst Fire broke out in the Sylmar area.

No fires were immediately burning near Universal City Wednesday morning. A dramatic brush fire that broke out Tuesday afternoon in the Hollywood Hills was quickly extinguished by firefighters.

Is Disneyland affected by the Los Angeles fires?

Disneyland has not announced any closures due to the fires.

The Disneyland Resort area, which includes Disneyland as well as Disney California Adventure Park, is located in Anaheim, about 50 miles south of Pacific Palisades.

Are other California theme parks closed due to fires?

So far, other theme parks located in the state — including Six Flags Magic Mountain in Santa Clarita and Knott’s Berry Farm in Buena Park — have not announced closings or delays because of the fires.
