Studio Tour Universal Studios Hollywood Close Montage (2007)

Описание: Video produced exclusively for the Studio Tour at Universal Studios Hollywood.

The Studio Tour (also known as The Backlot Tour) is a ride attraction at the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park in Universal City, California near Los Angeles.

The Tour is the signature attraction at the park, and goes into a working film studio, with various film sets on the Universal Studios Lot. In recent years, guests have sat in multi-car trams for the duration of the ride. The Tour lasts about 45–60 minutes and is led by a live tour guide who can be seen throughout the tram on video screens. It travels through the Front Lot, Backlot and various attractions, passing sets and props from movies along the way.

The tour inspired a smaller but similar version at Universal Studios Florida, which was removed in 1995.

The tour has always been at the heart of Universal Studios Hollywood. From 1915, when visitors sat on bleachers for 25 cents, to the 1964 introduction of pink and white Glamor Trams, to the current technological sophistication, the behind-the-scenes view of a working movie studio has been a large attraction of the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park.

During the early years of the tram tour (1964–1965), all of the attractions at Universal were reached via the tram. The tour originally departed from the front lot commissary. In 1965, the upper lot studio tour center opened.

As the movie studio has continued to evolve, the tour has evolved along with it. In late 1989, CD players finally gave the tour guides a chance to rest their voices. In 1999, the CD players were replaced by DVD players and LCD screens, allowing the tour guides to show scenes from movies filmed at the locations which the tram passes. In 2009, the LCD screens were upgraded to high-definition screens. In 2011, Jimmy Fallon joined the tour as a video host to supplement the live-action narration and also appeared in some filming scenes, who also performs an original song at the end of the tour, thanking the riders of the trams for attending and to have a great rest of the day. The song was temporarily removed in 2016 and now becomes a billboard signature.

Since 2006, some studio tours have bypassed the Collapsing Bridge, due to aging and wearing. However, the bridge has since undergone renovations and was added back to the tour schedules in August 2008. Since July 2010, the Collapsing Bridge has been used as a representation of the Skull Island area for the new King Kong: 360 3-D attraction.
