Take a photo tour of Universal's new fleet of trams: http://insideuniversal.net/2015/04/inside-universals-50th-anniversary-tram/
Now that they repainted the trams, will they change King Kong to reflect this?
(spoilers ahead for anyone who hasn't experienced this attraction)
The T-Rex drags a part of the tram down a cliff, the style is still the old tram colors. now I do have some experience in 3D rendering and a simple texture switch and possibly some bump maps may be enough to change out the trams color scheme. Now the question is if Universal will take the time to do so.

This new design looks great! Really liking the new look. I just hope these don't get banged up too quickly.
The new design really grew on me. Really looks refreshed. It would've been cool to see an entirely new sleeker design for the trams, but if it ain't broke don't fix it. Really like it

They're building new power units that they're planning to release soon, so this isn't the tram's final form.

The youtube user, Cow Missing has uploaded numerous stock videos of the Universal Studio Tour. It has mainly been from some of the Ron Howard bits and the Whoopi Goldberg Studio tours. The recent ones released today even harkens back to the Mummy Tomb.
I'm absolutely geeking out. So frikin happy they uploaded those! Someone should download them before/in case Universal sends a copyright claim. I had chills haha.
And for the record, I really miss Whoopi as the video host. She was a bit silly without being over the top and uncomfortable/awkward as Fallon, and she gave good quick facts.

Picture car display has replaced flip car with Paul Walker's Ford Escort RS1600 from F&F6.
For the first time I noticed what's behind the posters hanging from poles on the bridge to studio tour. The unused bracket protruding away from the posters looks newly installed. Any thoughts on what might get mounted there?
The protruding mount I pondered about recently is revealed to be for a spotlight directed at Jimmy Fallon billboard. Each poster has downlighting over it in anticipation of the nighttime tours.
New large trees planted near the new trash compacter. Very nice looking.
Still a lot of work going on around this warehouse across from Bates Motel. Do you think this will eventually be of interest to park guests or is it just studio maintenance?
