Hollywood Magic: Universal Studios Rides That Appeared on the Big and Small Screen

Universal Studio Tour Attractions have appeared countless times in your favorite movies and TV Series. The Studio Tour (also known as The Backlot Tour) is a ride attraction at the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park in the Los Angeles area of Universal City, California.
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.
Over the years, Universal has reused many of these Tram Tour attractions as sets when filming movies and TV shows! You can see your favorite Studio Tour attractions make an appearance in Bones, Murder She Wrote, Knight Rider, Diff'rent Strokes, The Six Million Dollar Man, Beverly Hills Cop III, Big Fat Liar and more!

We've been to Universal but never had the tour! Thanks for letting us take the tour this way!

[@ExitThrutheGiftShop]

If you want the full Studio Tour that's a different video ;) kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6OknquCnLqCnpo

[@SaltyBeaverExplores]

That was fun. I knew that sets were reused but its hard to recognize them as you never see the shows together

[@SwiftyTravels]

I love that studio tour!! All these old movies😂😂😂 I miss Eddie Murphy, and Different Strokes! Oh the memories!!

[@ExitThrutheGiftShop]

I remember watching that episode of Different Stoked years ago. I loved seeing them visit Universal!

[@seanmitchell4382]

Very impressive! Really appreciate all of the historical details, and supporting clips you supply. Excellent work!

[@ExitThrutheGiftShop]

Thanks Sean! Still can't travel, so it's nice to revisit Universal on video!

[@NaomisAdventures]

That's really cool

[@robatsea2009]

Another film that utilized the tour attractions is "The Nude Bomb" (1980), which incorporates the old "Battlestar Galactica" attraction. I've got a Studio tour program from the 1970s, so things have mightily changed since then. The "King Kong" attraction that was lost in the fire was really cool - I still have home video from a 1996 visit that features it.

[@ExitThrutheGiftShop]

Nice! I'm going to have to look that one up. I loved the Battlestar attraction!

[@ExitThrutheGiftShop]

Ok hold on - you've helped me discover something I never knew existed. I used to LOVE Get Smart, but had no idea there was a movie ?!

[@ExitThrutheGiftShop]

It looks like he encounters JAWS too! kzbin.info/www/bejne/oYq7i5dpZ7Cga68 This just got bumped up to the top of my must watch list.

[@robatsea2009]

@@ExitThrutheGiftShop I know there was a TV movie as well in 1989 that brought back much of the original cast but yes, "The Nude Bomb" was theatrical. My Dad took me to see "The Empire Strikes Back", which was playing at the Stanley but alas we arrived to find all showings that day sold out so we wound up downtown for plan B: "The Nude Bomb" at the Vogue. Surprisingly, there was plenty of seating for that one!

[@casandrajones8516]

Why did the runaway train car on fire?

[@OffRampAdventures]

This is a cool, interesting video! Not unusual for you, though!

[@ExitThrutheGiftShop]

Maybe being unusual IS my usual?!

[@SomeplaceOrAnother]

Very cool 😎 never new they used the tram tour so much 👍

[@ExitThrutheGiftShop]

I always love seeing locations I recognize on film, especially things that were filmed close to home around the Vancouver area :)

[@alyawaits]

I just came from Universal Studios & I absolutely love these behind the scenes videos so thank you for sharing this I love watching the history about the sets

[@ExitThrutheGiftShop]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@RVAmerica]

Super cool! I actually remember most of these old TV shows. Great video! Lynn and Danny

[@ExitThrutheGiftShop]

I remember seeing most of these too! Except for maybe the six million dollar man - that was a bit before my time!

[@GrahamStrang]

Awesome info! Can't wait for the border to reopen so I can get back down there

[@ExitThrutheGiftShop]

No kidding! I'm feeling a bit trapped this week with borders closed and wild fires and landslides blocking all routes out of the area!

[@JenniferandMark2014]

Great stuff 🤗😄Jenn

[@UnkleHeavy]

Universal Hollywood is definitely on my bucket list of things out west!! I remember that Different Strokes episode well. Plus, the Six Million Dollar Man with Bigfoot; serious deep cut there 😀 Awesome research!!

[@ExitThrutheGiftShop]

lol - I was happy I was able to dig up footage of Andre the Giant as Bigfoot. Lately I've been enjoying revisiting old shows and seeing actors in roles before they became famous :)

[@ExitThrutheGiftShop]

The studio tour is classic, although they keep replacing attractions with screens, like fast and the furious or Kong skull island. These are ok, but in my opinion they don't live up to the excitement of something like earthquake!

[@alexgeorge501]

The Mexican streets were also featured in the Power Rangers Time Force 2-parter "Movie Madness" in which the time force rangers battle the mutant director Cinecon

[@ExitThrutheGiftShop]

Awesome! I'm sure there's lots of other examples too :)

[@BENADDISON26]

They filmed bates motel tv show and movie at the same place?

[@ExitThrutheGiftShop]

The newer TV show was actually filmed up here in Canada near Vancouver.

[@jamescocking6435]

does anyone know if the Psycho House was moved for the Knight Rider episode? The location of it just doesn't seem right

[@ExitThrutheGiftShop]

I'm not sure this answers your question exactly, but it's pretty fascinating history: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qaa8fHuforaqqpY

[@jamescocking6435]

@@ExitThrutheGiftShop Thank you for seeing me the video! I've been doing some research into the whereabouts of the Psycho House myself but its an absolute minefield lmao. The Bates Motel is not the original it seems, having been built Psycho 3 along with the stairs leading up to the house. I've found many images of the House standing by itself without the Bates Motel set but I can't find any dates relating to the picture. The tarmacked road seems to be from around the same time that either the Jurassic Park 2 set or the War of the Worlds set was being built. Then again, it could have been from the Whoville set. With the house I really can't find anything concrete at all, its all super confusing

[@ExitThrutheGiftShop]

Seems like they build and reuse the structures frequently for different purposes so it makes it difficult to keep track!
