Ugh.... I feel like the world is taking a step 50+ years back into the past... Even Disney has no issue with having people in similar clothing in their movies & tv shows. And honestly, what you're seeing in this attraction IS "toned down" compared to the movies themselves. I feel like some of you are living in the dark times because this features girls showing some skin, the same amount you see in the park or anywhere else for that matter (actually they're probably wearing more than the general public). It isn't going to kill anyone to see some girls stomach/legs (even the cultures that consider this a no-no see it in movies. so they're used to it). Even the dancing isn't anything "sexy", "raunchy" or "vulgar", its your typical dance/club/rave/party style dancing. I think some of you are really blowing this 10-15sec scene out of proportion. Its not like this an American Pie attraction featuring sex!
Do we really need to censor everything?
Okay, but that's a movie. A film that people have the choice to view.
There's that option with a theme park, in fact for a long time T2:3D had a disclaimer about its violence. Disney's own "Making of Me" show at the old Wonders of Life had a disclaimer for parental discretion. (So did Creature from the Black Lagoon as well, I believe) HHN has mutliple disclaimers, although that doesn't stop idiotic controversy.
But we're talking about the Studio Tour here,
not Fast and Furious Supercharged. The Studio Tour is an attraction that, while warnings are there for guests with disabilities and pregnant women, there is no height requirement. It's a tour that was originally designed, and still is in its greater whole, to show off the Universal backlot where film and TV is filmed. You see real sets, real facades, real Hollywood history, and some thrilling things happen but it's all in good fun. The tour is, by far, the most family accessible attraction and also is still the centerpiece of USH.
I don't think Universal should censor everything... I even don't mind the Rock saying the word "hell". It adds to the humor of the attraction and I think it's a little ridiculous to be upset over that. IMO, hell is in a way not really a curse word. Even religious families have their kids attend Sunday School... and they hear that word way more than you'd think. If they said "goddamn", okay, I'd think that was a bit much.
Yet with the dancing girls issue, I see people arguing against it and I just think that Universal didn't have to go
that far to put in a representation of that. You can come across the exact same idea without it going that far. It's just a devil's adovcate thing, because you're not going to prevent people from getting upset, but you can come to a compromise. If you just ever so slightly dress up the girls to just reveal a tad bit less skin and people are still complaining, okay they're from the 1950's and need to relax. It's just a fine, fine line. In this case, I think Universal could've had their cake and ate it to if they didn't go full out. It's not the end of the world, but that's just how I see it. The Studio Tour is the centerpiece of the park, and that demands a bit more discretion.
lol Speaking of not wanting anyone I know experiencing this attraction, funny thing is... Orlando is supposed to get this as a replacement for "Disaster" (aka-Earthquake).
