Universal Studios Tours Movies and Fun

Universal Studios began offering tours in 1964.

Today, Universal Studios still offers tours, and they

still make movies but it has also become one of

the largest amusement parks in the world. In fact,

Universal Studios has mixed movie making with

shows and a theme park full of rides to become

one of the most popular tourist attractions in the

world.

The Studio tour is a one hour guided tour. Those on

the tour ride around the studio’s 420 acres on a

tram, and see many stars dressing rooms,

production offices, and often famous Hollywood

stars. Where else can you see a western town and

a New York City street all in the same hour? The

tour includes sets from Back to the Future, Curse

of the Mummy’s Tomb, Jurassic Park III, and The

Grinch. This is more than just your boring tour

with a boring monotone tour guide! As the tour

progresses, tourists encounter many disasters!

Once you’ve finished your tour of the studios, you

can move on to the theme park. All of the rides have

a movie oriented theme, such as Revenge of the

Mummy, Back to the Future, Jurassic Park,

Terminator 2, and Shrek. There is also

entertainment. Waterworld is a theater presentation

which features many stunts and special effects.

Other shows that include terrific stage effects are

Backdraft, Animal Planet Live, and Spider Man

Rocks.

If all of this wasn’t enough, you can also visit the

TV Audience Ticket Booth. Here you will get free

tickets that will allow you to be part of the audience

for television shows that are being taped during your

visit. This is almost like being on TV! When you visit

Universal Studios, you will have several days of fun,

and you probably still won’t see everything that is

offered.

Outside of Universal Studios you will find the

Universal City Walk. This is Universal Studios very

own Downtown. This is three blocks of stores,

clubs, and restaurants for you to enjoy. There are

no cars or motorized traffic allowed in this area, but

there are hundreds, and sometimes thousands of

pedestrians milling about enjoying all of the sights

and sounds.

Universal Studio Tours is a great place to spend

your vacation or it is perfect as an add on to a

Disneyland Vacation. Even if you don’t have time for

the theme park, the Universal Studios Tour itself is

not to be missed!
