Studios Backlot Tour - Summer 2009 - EXTINCT Disney Hollywood Studios Attraction (Upscaled to 4K)

Описание: Studios Backlot Tour - Summer 2009 - EXTINCT Disney Hollywood Studios Attraction (Upscaled to 4K)

The Studio Backlot Tour was an attraction at Disney's Hollywood Studios at the Walt Disney World Resort in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. It was a combination of a walking and tram tour of the backlot area of the park.

Originally the park's premier attraction, its final operating day, after years of downscaling, for newer experiences not announced at the time, was on September 27, 2014; the ride then closed September 28. In August 2015, it was announced that the area would be used for Toy Story Land. The entire attraction has now been demolished.

The queue area
Upon entering the queue, guests were put into four different lines underneath a large canopy. Throughout the area were props from different movies, including Pearl Harbor, Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl, The Rock, and Armageddon. A film also looped with director Michael Bay telling guests how some of the special effects scenes from Pearl Harbor were filmed. While guests were waiting, four volunteers were chosen to be used in the first part of the attraction.

Walking tour
A number of guests in each line were taken into a show area with a large water tank in front of them. In the water tank were props reminiscent of Pearl Harbor: the deck and the engine room of a patrol boat. Cast Members explained how the water tank and props could be used in filming scenes from action films. Using the volunteers from before the guests were shown a special effects demonstration, known as Harbor Attack. One volunteer sat in the engine room and was overcame by a deluge of water (1000 Gallons of Water) coming into the room through a window from two dump tanks. The other three volunteers were standing on the deck when an attack happened. Explosions underwater, simulated torpedo bursts, and fireballs were used to simulate the attack. When filming was finished the footage was put together with previously recorded footage of airplane attacks and dialogue and shown to the guests.

When the demonstration was finished, guests continued into a large prop warehouse. At the exit of the building the tram part of the tour began.

As guests exited the prop building they boarded onto a tram for the main part of the tour. As the driver brought the tram through different areas, a prerecorded narration explained what was found there and tells the guests facts about it. Guests first traveled past the Earffel Tower, the former icon of the park. The tram ride was the closest that guests could get to the tower in the park. After the tower the tram drove through the costume and materials building, which had a thru-way for the tram and windows for guests to see the costumes and people working.

When the tram left the building it would bring the guests through an outside area named the boneyard. In the boneyard vehicles featured in many films could be seen. Props included the genuine steamroller from Who Framed Roger Rabbit, ships from the original Star Wars films, the duo motorcycles from Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, the escape pod from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, cars used in the Herbie the Love Bug films, bone cages from Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest, the Trimaxiom Drone Ship from Flight of the Navigator and boats and other vehicles used in other Disney-produced films.

After leaving the boneyard, guests were told that they would be entering a "live" movie set while the cast was on break. The tram would then move into an area known as Catastrophe Canyon, a rocky area with a fuel truck and water tanks inside of it. While the tram was stopped, filming starts suddenly. An earthquake shakes the tram and causes the fuel truck to explode, sending a fire ball into the air. Then a flood of water comes rushing down from the canyon and from above the tram. When the earthquake subsides and the water stops, the set would then begin to reset for the next tram and the host on the tram tells guests how it was done as the tram travels behind the set to show the back of the production.

After exiting the canyon the tram traveled through parts of the boneyard again. Guests would go past the Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show stadium and practice areas. The tram also passed Walt Disney's private airplane. After passing the plane, the tram pulls in to the exit and unloaded into the AFI Showcase room.
