just some random old school trivia to share with you guys:

Universal would rent JVC video cameras and let you borrow Kodak still camera in the 90's to park guests

before monsters cafe it was first the Universal Studios Commissary (which i believe was full service and only lasted until 92ish) then Studio Stars Restaurant (a buffet style restaurant)

the dark room in the Hollywood section was a 1 hour photo for park guests

i have a ton of old park maps/brochures if anyone has any specific questions.

Went on vacation in 1992, my father video taped quite a bit.

First, the Universal Studios TV commercials from the hotel tv featuring Nickeloden, Kongfrontation, Back to the Future, Ghostbusters (with Wayne Brady 2:20), Breakfast with the Stars & much more

I'll be working on more of the footage soon.

Can't believe Wayne Brady was in it

Thank you so much for posting this, this truly reminds me of my childhood. I used/still be obsessed with Jurassic Park and I loved this is as a kid. I really wanted to see what it looked like again. Thank you :rep:

This thread is fantastic and totally fascinating. I'd love to see someone do a full blog post or series on the mid 90s CityWalk/parking garage/IoA/hotel construction and crowd control logistics.

OrlandoRocks probably has the most complete collection of IOA construction on the internet.
