Studio Tour

[Ron101]

Described in plans submitted recently for USH:

"As described in the attached Project Description, the applicant proposes to install film sets on the Falls Lake site as part of the Universal Studios Tram Tour. "

Thoughts?

Could they be adding more sets from films that the tour can drive through such as bates motel or the plane crash? They haven’t built the soundstages there yet or don’t plan on it anymore.

That's pretty exciting. Tram Tour needs some new stuff. Do you know where I can view the submitted plans?

Sorry for the double post, but:
The Ford Angela has been added to the Picture Car segment of the tour! I think this is a great addition, glad that the car can still make an appearance at the park

Still curious about the plans that tacalert mentioned, this tour could really do with some new stuff

Hypothetically speaking, was this proposal including the upgrades made to the Studio Tour, that have been complete? What would happen to the current infatructure of stuff they just spent on?

Answering this here (moved from the rumored F&F coaster thread) buuuut.....

Who's to say the upgrades that have been made to the ST aren't specifically contemporary, rather long term,? Worth nothing the ST will be fully electric by 2024 if not sooner too...

So, a temporary position to test and see how the individual trams charge, then being prepared at around 2024/2025 for the re-location where all charging stations are ready to go?

Still feels like a bit of money to throw away for something this large scale and large sweeping of changes. Am I to assume the Tram Garages would be repositioned to be somewhere more on the Backlot, to act as a in-between if trams fail to charge at certain points? The old tram pit-stop comes to mind almost immediately.

An annual BTTF after hours event on Courthouse square would be cool too.

I'd pay good money if it was a Photo ops in one area and a big dance area somewhere else where you dressed up the 1950 and even brought back the ride for one more night before simpsons go

Has the Voice always occupied Stage 30 in addition to Stage 12? OR Is this a new move from Stage 12?

The Voice moved out of Stage 12 a few years ago. The fact that it is one of the only soundstages that hasn't been repainted yet with the new color scheme is one of the things making me think it will be demo'd soon

Had no idea! Does this mean that soundstage can come down for potential park expansion or is that space going to the campus?

The campus is already well underway, so possibly park expansion! It was floated as possibly being used for a Donkey Kong expansion for SNW

Get your rides in on Earthquake. Supposed to close in June for a big 6-7 month refurb. Only specific thing I’ve heard is replacing the ride system. Not sure on what else is being done. Construction trailer is already on-site next to the exit of the attraction.

Well that's really disappointing. Getting to see (a version of) Earthquake again was one of the things I was most excited for when I visit in September.

This is good news to me! I’m glad to hear Earthquake will be getting sone much-needed love soon!

 

[ParksandSights]

Glad to hear Earthquake is getting attention. I've noticed it's had quite a bit of unscheduled downtime in the past year or so. I wish Little Europe would have one of the classic monsters roaming around to entertain guests in that area

They already do! Here’s there all the time! The Invisible Man walks around there all the time!

We should have a meet and greet where the invisible man is just a floating hat with a drone in it. Imagine the picture possibilities.

I love the implication that an Invisible Man meet and greet where all we see is a hat means that the guy is just strolling around the park butt naked.
