Videos From Universal Studios New Nighttime Studio Tour
Universal Studios Hollywood is about to open up a new nighttime version of their famous backlot Studio Tram Tour. They’ve started testing out the new spin on the old attraction, and they’ve released some videos giving us our first look at what it will include. It looks like it could be fun.
The following videos come from Inside Universal, and this is what they said about the new sequences that will be included in the tour:
Featuring Marilyn Monroe and Frankenstein, the Nighttime Studio Tour takes advantage of various sets located across the lot – combining live actors and special effects to add an extra dimension to the otherwise normal daytime tour. Marilyn Monroe can now be seen waving back to passerby guests as Frankenstein lunges towards the tram in Little Europe.
Projections are also used heavily throughout the Nighttime Tour, with scenes and characters projected on set windows across the lot. Notable moments including dinosaurs attacking inhabitants within the mobile unit RVs from Jurassic Park, Norman pacing back and forth with a knife in hand in the Psycho House, and various barroom fights taking place in Six Points Texas. King Kong 360 – 3D and Earthquake were also on the nighttime roster, adding traditional elements to an otherwise special tour of Universal’s sprawling backlot.
I’m surprised they didn’t do anything with the Back to the Future Clocktower Square area of the backlot. It still looks like fun, though. I love going to Universal Studios!
