The tram tour has evolved into “oh this was filmed in that soundstage” and “this was filmed in that soundstage over there,” but we can’t actually look inside them or anything. There’s been no recent movies that have built anything there for use on the tram. The last physical movie set that was added is the War of the Worlds plane crash. Even when they are filming on the sets you never go near them and the guide just says “oh they’re filming WaterWorld 2 over there on those sets,” and you just drive by without catching a glimpse and all you see is the “Quiet Please. Filming in Progress” on your screens. Only the VIP people get to see it and that’s because the regular Studio Tour is such a high capacity attraction there’s no room for such experiences.
Also, the upkeep on the sets you do drive through are also in bad shape like the Grinch set and the production cars baking in the elements.
I love the Studio Tour but the re-ride value is extremely low every visit due to the repetitiveness. Much rather condense the tour and make more room for Diagon, Hagrid, Velocicoaster, 2nd Park, etc.
Thank you. Your point is right on. I don't recognize anything that these guides talk about. You can say whatever you want was filmed on a stage and people would believe it (I know the guides can't do that).
Even the production cars are so old. Going all the way back to 1985 with BTTF. A popular film, but the point is that it is old. As well as the Flinstones. Magnum P.I.??? Is there anyone young that knows of that show? ANd then some dinosaurs squirting water at you. The flood scene is so old, and Jaws got worse after they took out the effect of the bridge being pulled away. The sets in earthquake are horrible also.
