Universal Studios Florida (1989 TV Promo)

This is a promo to advertise the opening of Universal Studios Florida, which opened in Orlando in the spring of 1990

[@josedeleon2813]

The most epic commercial ever conceived.

[@CodyTheDragonSamurai]

This promo's music gives me chills.

[@garrettbays6942]

I always wonder who wrote it. You don't hear music for promos like this anymore.

[@2021WSchampKJ]

Imagine inserting a VHS tape and all the lights being off and hearing this loud music just BANG!!!! It’s why I have the irrational fear of something going boom at night…

[@JoelandtheBots]

The sad thing about this promo is that NONE of the attractions it promotes exist anymore.

[@vintagevhstreasures4058]

+JoelandtheBots The E.T. Ride is still there but I don't know for how long. But it wouldn't surprise me if they closed that too.

[@vintagevhstreasures4058]

Without the E.T. ride, Universal Studios Florida may not be the same anymore.

[@cbsteffen]

Universal Studios already is no longer the same. I do not think the Simpsons ride has been a good replacement for Back to the Future the Ride.

[@Alex-xg8py]

E.T but only because Spielberg is on the Board of Directors for the park and firmly vetoes any time they THINK of removing it. Wish they did the same for BTTF the ride....that was the beginning of the end for the park. T-2 recently was sad to see

[@Ay3shizzle]

To this day it’s still ride the movies but in a different way.

[@Bull1908]

It breaks my heart that every ride in this commercial are gone! E.T. is the only ride from the beginning that is still there!

[@McCallahanIndustries]

Time to watch Back To The Future 3

Man, I can't believe that Universal Studios open in 1990. I was eight going on nine. My birthday is October 11th.

[@King_Colombia_Inc]

As this park is about to celebrate 30 years, Universal Studios Florida has been curing my depression for 21 years and counting, this place is like home to me. Although a lot has changed over the course, from Back to the Future to Simpsons, from Hanna Barbera to Despicable Me, and from Kong to the Mummy, I still laugh, scream, and have a shit load of fucking awesome great times in that park. No matter how many times I go, I still smile even when I leave.

[@AwesomeSaucePictures]

This makes me cry because I wish I could have gone there

[@jayteethepuppetguy]

You still can, the park is still open today lol

[@cbsteffen]

@@jayteethepuppetguyBut it’s not what it used to be. Every ride in this promo except The E.T. Adventure got taken out.

This was on the Jetson's the Movie vhs, its the one thing the dvd is missing

[@Letsball85]

I'm very fortunate to have seen this promo and enjoy the original park growing up in the 90s....The original universal studios florida logo will forever stay in my mind baby....But it's a new era and generation and they had to change their ways to attract a whole different flock of crowds Still love the park

[@Ay3shizzle]

I was born on June 1st, 2000 and I’ve never been to Universal Orlando ever in my life but I would love to this year. It’s sad how I never got to experience these past attractions. I wish Universal would maybe someday build a retro park that would bring back most if not all the past attractions. That would be dope. I hope everyone would agree with me on this.

[@justisolated5621]

dude I %99999 agree on your decision

[@Ay3shizzle]

@@justisolated5621 Thanks man.

[@seanhiggins9806]

Shame all those rides except et are gone, miss the times from my childhood

Twister, Terminator and ET are the last of the original rides. But knowing them, they will get rid of them soon. *sobs*

Barbie, American Girl and The Loud House are going to take over

[@justisolated5621]

Twister and Terminator are noe gone, only E.T. remains

It was The Great Outdoors VHS that brought me here. I actually popped in the DVD, and watched this video before the movie.

[@timothywiggins928]

This preview was also on the VHS copy of the late Wes Craven's "Shocker."

[@chucktaylor4849]

I remeber this commercial I use to sit back and try to guess every movie was in each letter lol

[@MrParkFan]

But guy's don't worry one day they'll bring back some of the old stuff we loved back in 1990's believe me.

[@gahks]

@Ilovemovies917 I think there ought to be a third theme park dedicated to the classic movies. For proper cinema buffs who want to remember films the way they used to be done; the way they don't do anymore.

[@SonofMrPeanut]

If they want to update their theatrical studio intro, maybe they should reveal the studio name like this. The end of the name would reveal the iconic globe, and the name would rotate around it and stop in front of it.

[@figment1988]

happy 24th anniversary Universal Orlando. P.S. We will not forget Back to the Future (1991- 2007) and Jaws 1.0 (1990-1991; this ride ended up getting shut down after many technical foul-ups which led to Universal to shut it down and sue the manufacturers of the first version which was loosely modeled after the original Jaws movie)/Jaws 2.0 (1993-2012; following the successful lawsuit against Jaws 1.0's manufacturers, Universal hired a new company and based this version loosely on Jaws 2), Kongfrontation (1990-2002; replaced with Revenge of the Mummy). Funtastic World of Hanna Barbera (1990-2002; replaced by Jimmy Neutron's Nicktoon Blast which was thankfully replaced with Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem), among other long lost Universal attractions.

[@WDI2008]

Don't forget Ghostbusters Spooktacular (1990-1996; replaced by Twister:Ride It Out(1998-2015), Alfred Hitchcock:The Art of Making Movies (1990-2003; replaced by Shrek 4D),Murder, She Wrote Mystery Theater (1990-1996;replaced by Hercules and Xena: Wizards of the Screen (1998-2000) and the Production Tram Tour (1990-1995)

[@joanrosengrant2824]

What's really odd about this tape is that it has the MCA/Universal globe logo on the box yet it has the early 80's MCA Home Video logo without any previews. I think that this tape should have featured a trailer for Jetsons: The Movie at the end of this tape followed by a trailer for to Back to the Future 2.
