Hello and welcome to the World of Micah! I travel around filming everything and anything I find interesting -from theme parks to abandoned urban exploring. If you enjoy learning more about Disney history, tips & secrets or a fan of Walt Disney World nostalgia you have come to the right place. I also enjoy showing Universal Studios history and taking a look of what’s left of from classic attractions like JAWS and ‪Back to the Future‬. More of an Urban Exploring fan? I travel around Central Florida and film everything from abandoned Toys “R” Us stores to abandoned attractions. I'm also a major Movie Buff! I have found the filming locations from such films as Edward Scissorhands, Halloween (1978) & Hocus Pocus!

We visited in 1993 for the first time and were completely blown away by the attractions( back to the future ride🤩)

[@carlymckearnen]

Love these types of videos, thanks Micah!

[@jugatsu23nichi]

Great video Micah, and interesting facts!

[@jeffreymlukas]

That building use to be the Paramount building, where you can do two green screen filming. Start Trek and My Day At Universal Studios....somewhere at my parents house, I have a copy of copies of both.

[@DarrenLev1005]

Thanks for posting Micah! Remember so many great characters from Universal back in the day from WC Fields, Mae West, Marx Brothers and my personal favourites Laurel and Hardy. Sure I have some photos of them. One memory for me is that the Marx Brothers were messing around in Kongfrontation Queue - helped passed the time away that is to sure!

[@MyBackyardScience]

Love the history! Sitting back enjoying the weird Universal history! 😀

[@worldofmicah]

Thanks buddy

[@Ronaldl2350]

Back to the future was the best! Miss that ride. The other stuff you showed brought back some great memories.

[@cindypowel7517]

Thx 4 the interesting history & great memories

[@secondswell]

I got to tell you man my sister ran into you at Universal studios today (sunday) and recognized you and spoke to you and it really made her day dude. We both have been watching you for a long time and really think you deserve more subscribers. I've actually learned a lot from your videos and appreciate the effort you put into them.

[@chriscreekmore210]

Haven't been to Universal in years it was very cool to see how it has changed. Great video!!!

[@arianemelillo2240]

I miss the I Love Lucy Tribute they use to have. Also...BTTF was the best and I'm still salty about it's exit lol Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

[@ChrisB2007]

Just an fyi, Naughty Dog is the game studio that developed the Crash Bandicoot game. That’s their logo on the bottom right of the Crash Bandicoot photo you show on your phone. Btw I love these weird history videos of the theme parks. Keep em’ coming!

[@rhondaz356]

WOW, how things have changed! Thanks for keeping us updated, as well as reminding us of the past, with those super, retrospective pics... great video, Micah 👏👏🙏🏼💥

On Ebay I got this odd small booklet of IOA ride pics (Jurassic, Spiderman). But the pages were thick and had a perforation at the spine of the booklet. I took it to the Universal Legacy store and asked about it. Turns out each page was a card to put into the "station" at the preview center for IOA in 1998-9. You got each stamped and you "won".

The Phantom preshow scared the bejeebers out of me. I was a very little girl (around 9) at the time.

[@jimmysasser2449]

Thanks! Micah! Love these historic videos. Hope to run into u soon

[@catshe2107]

I loved looking at the old Psycho house up on the hill. I miss all of the old school rides at Universal and how the park used to look.

[@johngosbee5574]

A great in park resource that I met regarding old characters was Nannaline, a team member now outside Horror Make up show entrance. Shes been at UOR since early 1990s. I had pics from old characters (Marx Brothers, Laurel and Hardy). She knew that some still continue to be part of UOR in other roles since their character was stopped in mid 1990s. A weird mash up of old stuff: Harpo would tie a rope with handle bars to back of Tram and "water ski" on skates behind the Tram (likely not allowed these days). Saw it in youtube video 2012 or so, I cannot refind right now

[@melissajensen3166]

Going to Universal Hollywood as a kid the tram tour was awesome. We could get off the tram and walk through one sound stage. It was where they filmed Switch with Robert Wagner and Eddie Albert. I actually saw Marty Feldman leaving the studios and he waved to the tram tour! The old days of the studios were great.

[@MissFanCulture]

Oh this will be a fun one!

[@mikedavies9379]

Awesome video, I can remember all of the old attractions, bone yard and the tour. Can Remember seeing WCW wrestling there .Really miss all of them Love these throwback videos👍

[@TheHauntingOnVirginiaAvenue]

Great video!!

[@mushieslushie]

I know things have to be updated over time, but when you mentioned the old Alfred Hitchcock show it makes me wish that the Studios park was still about showing how movies were made and seeing 'behind the scenes.' I miss when theme parks used to have a unique identity and not this more recent trend of big IP based lands that could be plopped anywhere and parks with generic names like 'Islands of Adventure' or 'Epic Universe.' Not to bash on Universal too much but I like when each park is totally different in it's themes and purpose.

[@614supercool]

Great stuff.

[@Radicallyredeemed]

My husband did the Star Trek video attraction for his 7th grade field trip, he still has the vhs!

[@RyanNodal305]

I remember a lot of that stuff you mentioned with a couple of obscure things I had no clue about. The Hercules and Xena attraction was opened with a very unique ribbon cutting. Keep the good work digging up weird theme park history

[@yvesbenoit3597]

Awesome history.... I miss Beetlejuice review show.... I remember when after the Ghostbusters show closed, sometimes the ecto 1 would drive around the park, and the Ghostbusters would stop and take pictures with people... love that car.... miss the nickelodeon stuff at Universal especially the fountain... thanks for sharing...take care.... have a great day.... thanks..👍👍👍👍

[@pattytuck2023]

I miss old Universal. The Marx Brothers, Charlie Chaplin, and Mae West. I have a picture of my nephew being held by Hercules. That would never happen now!! If you do a video about when there was a parking lot, make sure to visit the bathroom hallway down in the bus loop. (Behind the stairs) There are pictures of the lot being built.

[@kimberlylyerly2207]

Hulk Hogan is okay, but I am an old school Rick Flair fan. ❤️ Wooo....

[@daamovieguy]

One of my first trips to Universal, I was amazed at how it looked. I turned a corner, and slammed right into someone. I was so embarrassed. Then I realized who I had run into. Sherman Klump. I can confirm that he walked the Studios. He apologized to me and I apologized to him. It was awkward and awesome. Miss that aspect of Universal.

[@ThatDeltaBravo]

Oh no... The way you said "Naughty... Dog..." Ouch! Naughty Dog developed Crash Bandicoot, as well as more modern well known videos games such as Uncharted and The Last of Us (including the movie Uncharted and the current HBO show TLOU). Fun facts of the day! Lol.

[@worldofmicah]

I’ll be the first to admit I’m not a gamer nor have I ever been. 🤷🏻‍♂️ honestly thought it was a random blogger or photographer - which is why I plugged them

[@michaelmccarthy6464]

what time were you there micah
