Universal Studios - Whats Changed Since The 80s & 90s? - Universal Studios Hollywood

[@Gabriel-gv1mx]

I was there, 1986, and witnessed the Kongfrontation, Jaws, Battlestar Galactica, E.T, Back To The Future. I waved furiously to be selected for the screen test component of the tour. I got the gig. I was dressed in striped prison garbs and was tipped upside down in a cabled plane. The final film was edited and played to an audience of strangers who, by the end of the tour, felt like family. I was looking forward to Disneyland, but Universal Studios was hands down the most memorable and interactive experience. A Class!

Very cool, I miss the 80's and 90's. Good times 🤗✌️💖🎊🎉

[@Nopcode42]

I went to the Universal Studios on my first trip to the USA from germany in the early 90s. The Back to the Future ride was awesome. But what really stuck in my head was the Backdraft building. I can still feel the fire heat in my face. 😃

[@realboltfan]

This means a lot to me. When your looking around and nothings the same in life, then you look at this and realize your childhood treasure is being deleted before your very eyes it’s a weird feeling. The nostalgia is overwhelming. San Diego kid here and this is where I picked to go for my birthday any year I could. Im 42, I remember the burning house, The Galactica, Conan show, King Kong (rip), the bridge, backdraft etc. If you went in the 80’s or 90’s you saw the actual vintage sets. Munsters etc. The magic of this place was phenomenal. Anyone remember the A Team van you could lift?. The banana scent stuck with me forever. Thanks for these videos brah. We are one in the same!.

[@80sLife]

That's awesome. So happy my video helped you remember all those awesome memories. Thank you!!

[@B4dlands]

I agree - Universal Studios was soooo much cooler in the 80s & 90s - T2-3D battle across time is still the most amazing attraction ive ever visited - i miss it so much, excellent job Kurt - you are a wealth of knowledge!

[@angusmacgyver2508]

Don't fear! I can assure you that the log cabin from The Great Outdoors is not gone! I work at the studio, and it was simply moved (somewhat behind the plane crash set and next to the original Falls Lake) last summer. Hope that makes you feel better!

[@AdamtheGrey02]

lol that's awesome to hear. I wondering how such a fine looking cabin that still appeared to be in pristine condition and a total fan favorite would just be destroyed or gone for good.

[@80sLife]

Angus, thank you!!! That does make me feel better. I hope that's not permanent. I know that's where they stuck the visitor center from JP, and it just rotted back there. I will be sure to point it out in part 2, whenever I get myself back to Universal. Thank you again

Excellent recap, and what a trip down memory lane! When I was there in the late 80s, Dick Tracy was being filmed, which made for some interesting sets and visuals. Battlestar Galactica, Jaws, Earthquake...all etched into my memory.

Amazing video i grew up going to universal at the same time. at the spiderman show there used to be a Conan show with a big dragon that would shoot fire and before that it was a Dracula show

[@BoomGiggity]

I remember going there in '80 or '81. I have some photos of my trip. I remember one window showing off the costumes for 'Heartbeeps', the Galactica scene, the bionic van for lifting and the rotating tunnel originally used in the Six Million Dollar Man.

[@80sLife]

So much cool stuff back then

[@gc4644]

Last time I was at Universal Hollywood was 1988, I remember the Battlestar Galactica ride, the wild west show, the rotating tunnel, Jaws, the splitting of the sea, and the special effects show (that they said was the same sound stage as where the 60s show The Munsters was filmed). We also ate at that Tony Romas Ribs restaurant at the exit of the studios, sorry to see its gone now. Thanks for the blast to the past!

[@80sLife]

Wasn't it all so great. My pleasure! Thank you

[@iggypyro78]

I was there in the mid 80's - I was super young - but this video really brought some stuff back for me. I do remember Jaws, of course - I remember the flash flood, and the parting of the sea - my Mom really loved that one. She used to force us to watch The Ten Commandments on television every Easter - even though we weren't religious at all - and that movie is so freaking boring. Haha. I also remember the little skits too - especially he cowboy one. And the Psycho house - when we went, it was up on a hill somewhere, I think. Awesome video man. You're little recollections are kinda funny and kinda sad at the same time - Haha - but I guess that's what childhood seems like now. I remember my Mom always telling me to sit down and be quiet when I'd get excited about stuff. But this was the trip we took that made me want to live in California. I just couldn't believe that normal people lived there and worked normal jobs doing this stuff. I wish my family took more pictures too. For some reason they really sucked the day we came here.

[@chain_sawyer7469]

Amazing video and excellent commentary. My friends and I used to go on the ET ride and give them fake names. I would tell them my name was Michael and my friend would say his name was Jordan. It was great hearing ET say "Thank you Michael Jordan." Great memories.

[@scottc.5142]

I remember the Adventures of Conan show most fondly in the 80s. My friend from Houston came out to visit me and we went to Universal together..

[@IsaacCloud]

The first time I went to Universal Studios, we got to see some filming for the Parade in Jingle All The Way. Last time I went was for grad night in 01. Sad to see so many great attractions gone.

[@mjones349]

In the 70s, on the tour, they used to say the collapsing Bridge was part of the movie The Bridge Over the River Kwai. Also in the 80s, the parking lot was pathetic. They had the boat from The African Queen chained to a light pole in the parking lot. In the 90s they revamped the whole thing to include the City walk.

[@RayTelles]

Dude, this is hands down your best video. I only went to Universal once in the 90s and like yourself I’m kind of disappointed how they removed a lot of their history. The time I was there was perfect, the BTTF ride, ET, King Kong Encounter, as well as the original Jurassic Park, Blues Brothers show and the Backdraft show were all still operating. The backlot tour seemed to be more interactive and, like you said, more in use. We saw what was obviously one of the sets from Batman and Robin, even though they couldn’t tell us that’s what it was (it was a Warner Brothers movie.) Keep up the videos. We’ll keep watching. BTW- I just missed you in the South Bay. I was there on a work trip at the time you were shooting.

[@danny5555100]

Glad you did this video of Universal Studios. Brings back so many memories of when I was a kid going there in the 80s and 90s. Went there last year and it wasn’t nothing like when I was a kid. I was shocked and sad to see a lot of props and rides gone. Anyways keep up the good videos!!

So YAY!!!!

[@80sLife]

Haha, I'm glad I helped prove that you aren't imagining things. I don't remember if they would pretend to rob you, but they definitely would come out and have a gun fight. But I'm sure different actors would play the part differently and some might pretend to rob the guests. I think I'm definitely gonna have to do a part 2 eventually.

Thanks for the nice trip or rather tour down to "memory lane," Kurt! I got to experience Universal Studios back in the 90's when I was just a kid. I always ranted to my friends how awsome USH used to be back then, because of all the cool attractions, shows and stuff they took out. I remember seeing the Conan show, Beetlejuice, and I think seeing Beethoven the dog in the "Animal Show." I was also one of the lucky few to experience "An American Tail" show on my first time. It such a trip seeing all these changes happen over the years. I think my favorite rides were always "The Studio Tram Tour, Back to the Future and "The ET Ride." So much memories I got to revisit watching this video.

I also remember the Incredible Shrinking Woman phone, and a big Iron and the bridge, and burning house. I love reliving this and remembering my beloved grandparents. Thank you so much!

[@hollyobrien2816]

What a delightful video! Thank you for the research and oh so many flash backs for me personally. My husband was a stunt performer for Miami Vice, other friends in the Western Stunt show, Conan show, etc. I was a Bartender at Victoria station (made me chuckle when you said Miami Vice stunt guys would stop into Victoria Station after shows, they did indeed I married one of em, 34 years and counting). We were all friends back then, the whole park, including the characters that were interactive with guests, engineers - even HR and management, all one team! They used the Vice stunt guys to test the Back to the Furture ride before it opened, they loved it and kept saying, gee we need another test to be sure it's good... Lol). You are spot on that the nuances back then made it a much better experience. Now it's just like any other amusement park and that welcoming connection just isn't there, sad as that warmth is what made people return year after year, especially locals. When NBC bought it they yanked all the fun out of it. Loved your video, so well done!

[@RinkyRoo2021]

I remember the ads for the earthquake ride in about 88 ,I was a kid and I remember the tanker truck and wondering how they made it slide down like it did .

[@JohnnyLobes]

Loved this video. Been telling my daughter about how cool Universal was as a kid. The Transformers ride also used to be the harry and the hendersons sounds stage show. I remember a restaurant on that little body of water that had a patio that had rain running off of it and 2 little war boats that were shooting at each other. The curious George Playland had an awesome room that had air cannons where you could shoot foam balls at people.

[@HighwayLand]

WOW! I remember that patio with the rain and those little boats, and I think they were navy ships but whatever, lol! Thanks for reminding me.

Great Outdoors cabin also was the spot where they filmed scenes for the show Coach as it was his house and up by Wisteria Ln was Quin Mallory's house from the legendary scifi/comedy/Drama series Sliders! I got to go a few times in the 80's and the 90's sat in Kitt and got to lift up The A-Team van as well as be on the tour during a break when filming Back To The Future 2 in fully dressed futuristic downtown Hill Valley! We drove right past the modded Ford Probe on this video! But I have to say your band covers were rad! Thanks for the videos man!

I only saw this for a brief time and it was removed shortly after. I often wonder if anyone got a picture of it. Stage 28 was torn down to build Transformers. It was a sad day. I remember working on the lot and visiting the stage before it was demolished. Thanks for sharing your memories!

I worked there from 91 - 94. I remember the Wild West Stunt Show and it was great. The Black Ranger from the original Power Rangers worked that show at the same time I worked there as a cashier. Whenever someone got thrown through a window or door, he'd be there inside the saloon to throw a black sheet down to cover the door or window from the inside so the guests couldn't see inside. I also remember the Beetlejuice Graveyard Review. That was good too. My friend and I would go to that Tony Roma's on our lunch break and order chicken tenders and fries with honey mustard every time and throw darts. It was a fun place to work as a teenager.

[@Czechbound]

That was fantastic. PLEASE do a Part II. I was there in October 1999 ... I remember Backdraft .. and Kong .. and the Jaws thing in the lake. The Bates house was up on a height near Wisteria Lane ( I remember them mentioning The Burbs ). And of course the collapsing subway and the water torrent. They pointed out a soundstage where they said Clooney's Batman had been filmed. We were there on a weekday morning in mid October and there was hardly a soul there - we had the place to ourselves. There was no queue for the Terminator show ( which we loved ) or for the Back to the Future Ride ( I believe that building has a staircase that was used in BTTF 2 - I may be wrong ). Yes, there was actors in costumes walking around ( we came around the corner and there was Spiderman. We were stoked, as in 1999 Spiderman had kinda left the public's memory. We were approached and asked did we want to be in the audience for a taping of "3rd Rock from the Sun", but we declined as we had come to see the studios, not sit inside for what we imagined would be 4-5 hours. I remember the Lyons Estates gates which if I recall were just jumbled up with Jurassic Park stuff. And yes, we could walk to the Universal Globe, and then if I recall there was a Hard Rock Cafe and a group of souvenir shops ( where one of the female attendants was singing loudly while working. I guess she was hoping to be discovered ). And those covered outdoor escalators. Coming from Ireland we had never even SEEN outdoor escalators ha ha. It was a great few hours walking around. Oddly enough, I have no memory of Court House Square, so maybe they were filming that day and we didn't go through it ? Anyway, thank you so much for this video; I love to see a Part II; and I'll have to search and see do I have photos from my trip.

The original BTTF DeLorean went on permanent display at the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles in 2016.

Modern problems is so underrated, one of my favs growing up

[@80sLife]

I agree

This channel is awesome! Used to live in SF valley. Live in Utah now because LA became so overcrowded.

Good video. I remember my first time going as a kid was when the Conan Show first opened. It sad to think about all the good attractions that they got rid of. I got to work on Sound Stage 28 15 years ago and it didn't know it got torn down. A few years later I got to work in Old Mexico and near The Psycho House. They have iconic sets and props that they seemingly don't care about at all.

I'd been in LA for about 7 years before I was able to get to Universal Studios. I went to audition (meet the Action Gaffer) of the Western Stunt Show. Didn't get the gig but stayed and was able to take in the park for free! It was the first week of the Backdraft attraction. I love the Waterworld attraction, tons of my friends work(ed) it. But that Miami Vice one was awesome. Great vid!

[@80sLife]

Bummer you didn't get the gig.. but a free day at universal is great. Thank you!

[@GeneH339]

Almost forgot about the Gibson! Went to a lot of Almoust Acoustic Christmas shows there.

Great content brotha. I really enjoyed this video.

[@ogbrmusic]

Also rode the Battlestar ride when I was young too! Oh and the Back To the Future ride was so cool with the Piro show I forgot the name of!

[@ogbrmusic]

Backdraft!!!

[@crashthevacuum]

Love it. How about a what's changed at Citywalk video. A lot of us i think have fond memories of spending Friday/Saturday nights there in the 90s

[@ScamTheScammer]

I miss the terminator show at universal!! So many good memories.

[@80sLife]

It was so good

[@louvega7570]

I have pictures from the early 80’s in the park. It was awesome! I took a picture with the A team van and they had big props from the incredible shrinking woman. I need to dig up those pics.

[@HighwayLand]

I got the same kind of pics. I was born in 79 and lived in Norwalk, checked out Universal every year from 86ish to 94.
