If you will be near Universal Studios on your next
business trip or vacation, you should definitely make
time for a Universal Studios Tour. This will not only
provide you with a day filled with fun and excitement
but you will also get a behind the scenes look at
what it really takes to produce the Movies that we
all wait anxiously to see.
If you are really interested in the world of movie
making, don’t miss the Universal Studios Tour. The
tour takes about one hour, and you will visit the sets
of many famous movies and television shows. You
will see the stars dressing rooms, and you may even
run into a star or two along the way, or get to see an
outdoors filming session in progress.
The Special Effects Stage, located inside the park,
is another attraction you won’t want to miss. Here,
you will learn how Hollywood creatures are made,
how sound effects are produced, and how visual
affects are designed and implemented. This is an
interactive attraction, and it only takes about thirty
minutes to go all the way through it. Even though it
doesn’t last long, there is a lot of information to be
learned here – quickly! The interaction with the
visitors makes this one of the most popular
attractions at the park.

Have you ever dreamed of sitting in the audience of
your favorite television shows? Now you can – at
the Universal Studios Tours TV Audience Booth.
This could be the opportunity of a lifetime, but you
need to move fast.
Make your way to the TV Audience Booth inside
the park. Find out what shows are filming on that
particular day, or for other days when you will be at
the park. The tickets are free, but there is limited
availability, and not all shows will be filming
everyday. You can often find out the filming
schedule for shows by calling ahead. With that
schedule, you can plan your trip to coincide with
the filming of your favorite shows.

If you will be visiting Universal Studios Tours, and
you wish to see the Tonight Show with Jay Leno,
you may be in luck – if you get to the Hollywood
Ticket Outlet booth early enough. Getting to see
Jay Leno in person and be a part of the Tonight
Show audience may be the perfect end to the
perfect day!
Again, make sure that you get to the booth early.
Exclusive seating is limited to a first come, first serve
basis. Only two priority tickets will be made available
for each person, and nobody under the age of sixteen
may attend the show. These tickets go fairly fast, and
once they are gone, they are gone for good.

Universal Studios began offering tours in 1964.
Today, Universal Studios still offers tours, and they
still make movies – but it has also become one of
the largest amusement parks in the world. In fact,
Universal Studios has mixed movie making with
shows and a theme park full of rides to become
one of the most popular tourist attractions in the
world.
The Studio tour is a one hour guided tour. Those on
the tour ride around the studio’s 420 acres on a
tram, and see many stars dressing rooms,
production offices, and often famous Hollywood
stars. Where else can you see a western town and
a New York City street all in the same hour? The
tour includes sets from Back to the Future, Curse
of the Mummy’s Tomb, Jurassic Park III, and The
Grinch. This is more than just your boring tour
with a boring monotone tour guide! As the tour
progresses, tourists encounter many disasters!
Once you’ve finished your tour of the studios, you
can move on to the theme park. All of the rides have
a movie oriented theme, such as Revenge of the
Mummy, Back to the Future, Jurassic Park,
Terminator 2, and Shrek. There is also
entertainment. Waterworld is a theater presentation
which features many stunts and special effects.
Other shows that include terrific stage effects are
Backdraft, Animal Planet Live, and Spider Man
Rocks.
