As a kid, "earthquake" felt so real. To me, it looked like that water was going to flood into the tram. It was the perfect amount of scare at the time. Blast from the past.
After they removed Back to the Future: The Ride, I was afraid they would eventually tear down the clock tower from the backlot too, but I'm glad they kept it.
@Rycel2001 They removed the Back to the Future ride? That sucks. I've always wanted to ride it, but never got the chance to go to Universal Studios. I went to Disney World though.
Depending on the year the tram ride use to stop two or three times in the 70s and early 80s'. 1st was at a prop place with rest area, a place that showed a few actors apartments that were onset and I forget what the third one was. Eventually it just became a ride where you saw the sets in about and hour and a half.
I can’t stop laughing during that scene. It just looks so bad that I’m sure they’re counting the days until the coaster opens, so they can rightfully shut the piece off 💩 down!
I love the same where the dinosaur actually grabbed one of the carts from the ride and it looks so realistic when there was actually people in it but I know it was probably just editing!
i remember going to Universal Studio at like year 2000 with my family and seeing JAWS set for the first time and getting scared. Can't believe times have gone by so fast and now its 24 years later and i'm seeing even more delicate sets in the palm of my hand via UA-cam.. what a time to be alive !!
Wow, they f’ed up the war of the worlds set. The passenger plane looks like it was chopped up and all of it looks a lot less impressive then it was, looked more real before now it looks like a cheap set
exactly what I was thinking. The set before looked like chaos ensued and it was amazing. When I saw it on this video first thing I said was "why did they do this!?"
My thinking is they trashed it with the add ons from Holloween Horror Nights and it needed a refurb. But yeah, now there isnt a chaos feel to it anymore.
@1ronEntertainment the wreckage was split in half. The tram drove through the middle before. It wasnt stricken to just one side. They allowed people to walk through it last year apart of HHN.

The Tokyo Drift part hasn’t been used for since 2013. I don’t think there has ever been anything there since then. As for the Mummy part, it also closed in 2013. The new Fast and the Furious part took that spot unfortunately.
On Earthquake they need to restore the swinging electric telegraph pole and the Tesla coils on both sides! Fog effects have also been cut, ceiling sparks reduced. Lame that the lighting is so bright in there now, they’ve eliminated the darkness and the intensity that goes with it. These are simple fixes that can go a long way.
@@Izz.mp4Work lights kept on maybe? Because there was still minor work that needed to be done, or they were monitoring it, making sure it was working just fine.
Are there different studios tours there? I did it on the 17th, it lasted 40 minutes and I saw only half of this I didn't see the earthquake scene and the war of the worlds set for example
when i did halloween horror nights in 2015, they let us step off the tram at war of the worlds and bates motel. was pretty cool....happy 60th! I wish they still had the cheesy animatronic King Kong, least I got to see it a few times before it was burned down.
No matter how bad it may be relative to every other part of the tram tour, the Fast & the Furious segment will probably stay for a long time simply because of how expensive it was to produce. Honestly, I would rather have the Avalanche/Mummy rotating tunnel back. This may just be my age talking, but I've never liked any of the 3-D surround attractions on the tour (Skull Island & FatF). I know these were developed to "modernize" the tour after the backlot fire, but nothing ever beats the spectacle of practical effects. If the whole idea is to "ride the movies", the studio tour needs to either double down on the historical aspect the the various sets and sound stages or return to immersive effects shows and set vignettes. The Battlestar Galactica mini-FX show on the tour blew my mind as a kid.
@@bradwhite5884 The fact they straight up said "No, we aren't rebuilding the revolutionary King Kong attraction that stood as a celebration of our studio's prestigious history of special effects work, in favor of a half-assed motion simulator we can use to promote a movie franchise tha will cease to be relevant within 5 years," killed me.
I do remember Universal Studio has a mummy rotating tunnel and men it was trippy for me and it was quite fun so I understand why you want it. Personally, they could have been making that for a anniversary also but sadly they don't have the original one anymore but if they ever added it for a next anniversary, it would be interesting to see the reaction of it
@@dragonifyamazing2721 I agree. It was pretty cool. There’s a couple things that I would have loved to see if possible the original version of King Kong, The Mummy, that part where they had the rocking bridge
Idk the truck falling in earthquake, it was much more snappy and believable before this. But not it's literally like creaking on it's highly visible track
Universal Studio of Hollywood is celebrating 60th Anniversary with a banger that lets people disembark the tour of the bates motel is very interesting but i don't think it would keep it there. I have been Studio Tram 2 or 3 times in my time and its fun
Had a great time on the AP tram tour yesterday for the 60th anniversary…but strangely the only thing we didn’t do were the earthquake and dinosaur scenes. It was fun getting off at the bates motel and having photo ops. Reminds me of halloween horror nights.
I was here back in 1985 I was 15 yrs old, I had got a big scar on my face the day before and they had a Frankenstein walking around out side and came up to me and said lets take a picture. When it was all over I got a Button with Frankenstein and my scared face pic on it. lol Best day ever. We had the Battlestar Galactica exhibit with the Silons, The Original Show not the 2000 yr version. yea lots has change since then. A Team Original was one of the shows as well.
holy cow... i thought im having a severe case of dejavu but when i saw the part in the metro station and the outdoor flood, i knew i had experienced it before. I then took a look at old photos and i have pictures dating from Sept 1989. I was a tiny lil kid back then LOL!!! Looking at the images and this footage is amusing! xD
Ugh. All of the amazing, wonderful movies under the Universal umbrella and you end on the bland, cheesy, lack of depth Fast & Furious schlock. Such a huge letdown for a tour of an iconic Hollywood studio. It’s gross.
I went on an evening ride and we didn't get the flash flood or Jurassic Park dinos. But the aeroplane crash and bates motel were really atmospheric. I'm guessing they change the route depending on the time of day?
For the dinosaur one, i remember a smell from when i was younger but now i dont smell it whenever i go on it and i was wondering if anyone knew why that is
Was the Jurassic Park area closed off in July? It was not shown when I visited in early July. I was on the tram twice on different days. Everything else was shown.
I would love to go to a theme park where there's a view of the mountains in the back, how cool! I also love this recreation of old rides! I miss Disaster! so much. I'm sad that Fast and Furious took its place :/
Since when did the Studio Tour's Jurassic Park area added 3 more Dilophosaurus & a Tyrannosaurus Rex? Must be an upgrade for the 60th Anniversary!🦖🦖🦖🦖But why not add herbivores, like the Triceratops for example?🦕 Pumping Udanoceratops!
Not really. Nice to see it chilling on The Collapsing Bridge though. If only they could've found a way to work in somehow the Red Sea, torpedo/mine gimmicks, or even Battlestar Galactica. Heck, would've been nice to see the Flaming House make a comeback.

Same I was scared of this ride
Mo ko@@yairatejada2301
I love how they added "Doc" and the DeLorean in the tour.
After they removed Back to the Future: The Ride, I was afraid they would eventually tear down the clock tower from the backlot too, but I'm glad they kept it.
And the nod to the Broadway musical and Universal’s other musical that will be turned into a film “Wicked.”

@Rycel2001 They removed the Back to the Future ride? That sucks. I've always wanted to ride it, but never got the chance to go to Universal Studios. I went to Disney World though.
That 3d scene with king and dinosaurs was insane especially when it started to fall crazy imagery
Happy 60th Anniversary, Universal Studios Hollywood!
1:39-1:57 above the hydrogen tanker truck is the same old facade for the old King Kong ride from the early 90's.
I was there in the 80s and they had that. lol
No wonder everyone looks so bored during this whole ride.
No it’s not that got burned down
@@imanoobb8446 yes it is. google it. because it looks like to me that I am right because 111 people agree with me to your 1.
Honestly fits with the earthquake, looks like san Francisco and fits well so they were smart.
@@imanoobb8446 yes it is; do your research before you send your rebuttals.
13:30 How cool must THAT be? Whoever came up with that idea to allow passengers to disembark was a genius!
Yeah but the disembark won't be there forever.
Depending on the year the tram ride use to stop two or three times in the 70s and early 80s'. 1st was at a prop place with rest area, a place that showed a few actors apartments that were onset and I forget what the third one was.

I wonder if they make you get back on at the Bates motel, or you can just skip the fast and furious part! 😂
@@mikebeisel7174 That would always be MY dream!
I can’t stop laughing during that scene. It just looks so bad that I’m sure they’re counting the days until the coaster opens, so they can rightfully shut the piece off 💩 down!
Loved seeing Doc Brown! I hope they keep him a long time!
The Back To The Future scene is AWESOME
Great Scott!
@@alexgeorge501 this is heavy

There goes that word again “heavy”, is there a density increase in the future?
There goes that word again “heavy”, is there a density increase in the future?
I miss the original King Kong practical effects. you could feel his hot breath.
And smell his banana breath
Yes!!! And smell his breath! Bananas!
I was thirteen when that burned down but I do remember both of those things
SHAME THE BIG FIRE HAPPEND , bUT THE jOURNEY continues , ALSO GETTING RID OF THE oLD JAWS RIDE ...SHAME..
the earthquake simulator looks worse now.. i miss when it was orange and dark in there tbh
I love the same where the dinosaur actually grabbed one of the carts from the ride and it looks so realistic when there was actually people in it but I know it was probably just editing!
the dinosaurs and king kong were super realistic i felt like it was real 😮
💀
I haven't been Universal studios for 50 years but I remember the jaws and the water coming down the street
I was there 47 years ago. Loved jaws. The wooden platform tilted towards the water and then jaws came along. A little more scary.
2:35 I like the irony in "Waterfront Exit" as that's where the water comes from.
They really outdid themselves with everything! Good job guys!
i remember going to Universal Studio at like year 2000 with my family and seeing JAWS set for the first time and getting scared. Can't believe times have gone by so fast and now its 24 years later and i'm seeing even more delicate sets in the palm of my hand via UA-cam.. what a time to be alive !!

Bro it’s the exact same wdym
It doesn’t help that you’re entering the scene from the “wrong” direction. It looks better from the other way.
@1ronEntertainment the wreckage was split in half. The tram drove through the middle before. It wasnt stricken to just one side. They allowed people to walk through it last year apart of HHN.
Earthquake section was closed down today :( thank you so much for capturing it!
I wish I go there. I’m from Thailand. This is so nostalgic.
Gosh, I had such a good time working there selling food and drink, way back in 1977.
I was there in 1977 as a tourist. Absolutely loved it. Cheers.
What was the cost of a pizza?
I miss this studio tour. The first time I experienced this was way back last 2000 or 2001.
The Dino vs Kong was the best! I remember that very well. That and Bates Motel

Some of these Sets/rides were actually used in Movies. Beverly Hills Cop 3 is a great example of redressing these the Earthquake ride for a Movie.
Wow they are got some actors this is wat this tour needs

@@Izz.mp4Work lights kept on maybe? Because there was still minor work that needed to be done, or they were monitoring it, making sure it was working just fine.
@@adventurekitty101 yeah that’s prob it. Still an epic ride no matter the changes in my opinion!! Loved seeing the set for nope
The Studio Tour is cool, but it needs to go in order to build more rides that compete with the other Univeral parks in Florida.
they pay to experience the earthquake. please come to japan or indonesia. its free.
Hell nah 💀
No no no jangan ngadi ngadi kang 🫵😭
Also come to chile
Its also free
How is that free. Its still the same cause you have to go on the airport or boats
Can’t imagine doc standing there 1 hr smoking til people come 😂
Sounds about right 😂
Are there different studios tours there? I did it on the 17th, it lasted 40 minutes and I saw only half of this
I didn't see the earthquake scene and the war of the worlds set for example
I think this is sooo cool!! I don’t understand the complaints at all 😅
I will tell you younger viewers something. You really missed out on that King Kong set during the backtour!
Hurts me everytime never getting to experience it 😔💔
Wow, did all these old rides back in the day. Is this available at US Orlando too?
Can't believe they still have that Jaws photo op prop! Got some great family photos with that old shark back in the 90s
when i did halloween horror nights in 2015, they let us step off the tram at war of the worlds and bates motel. was pretty cool....happy 60th! I wish they still had the cheesy animatronic King Kong, least I got to see it a few times before it was burned down.
Do you know what I just love it so much it's looks like new house since Halloween horror night's
Pretty sure most HHN terror trams make you step off at one of the sets. I can confirm the last two years
No matter how bad it may be relative to every other part of the tram tour, the Fast & the Furious segment will probably stay for a long time simply because of how expensive it was to produce.

I went to opening day of Earthquake back in the 80s. This looks about the same, maybe a little less water.
I would love to travel to America someday to do this, so expensive though.
No new 3-D effects can match the old KING KONG.
True, and the banana breath is part of my childhood.
The same for the orange earthquake tbh.
Too bad the movie set props on earthquake don't shake or fall, and the electric pole doesn't come down and some other effects not working
So glad to see they've updated it! I haven't ridden it since 2016 and it looks so much nicer now!
Hold up! You can walk on the Bates Motel lot?!? We couldn’t last time we were there
I was here back in 1985 I was 15 yrs old, I had got a big scar on my face the day before and they had a Frankenstein walking around out side and came up to me and said lets take a picture.

people are idiots

Am I the only one disappointed in how little they’ve done for their anniversary?

“Yep yep yep” *only true OGS know*
Wow amazing mind-blowing I will be there one day then want see
I'm happy they rehauled some things and brought back the flood one too
One word "Amazing" 😍
Anyone else do a double take when it turned night into day not knowing this video was edited lol 😂 😂
yea lmfao
How did the ride goes from night time to day time? Did you records this in multiple rides?
He probably did. Recorded at night because the cast members were included in the night tram and for daytime, other stuff.
For the dinosaur one, i remember a smell from when i was younger but now i dont smell it whenever i go on it and i was wondering if anyone knew why that is

It's been a LONG time since I've been to Universal Studios
Perjalanan yang sangat mengesankan ❤
С ультра высоким качеством видео , я как будто сам там побывал , круто конечно . Посмотрел с удовольствием 😊
The earthquake attraction would be cool if the whole set shook 🙂 Good to see it back up & running though!
Is the stop exclusive to the red tram?
I went twice in the blue one and didnt get to step off anywhere.
It was like a month or so ago.
Wait, did they demolish the grinch houses?
Just looked it up and yes they had, I’m super bummed over it
Years ago
They removed the Grinch section in 2020. But tbh the maintenance was getting really bad towards the end anyway.
I would love to go to a theme park where there's a view of the mountains in the back, how cool! I also love this recreation of old rides! I miss Disaster! so much. I'm sad that Fast and Furious took its place :/
That was a fun ride and congrats on your Diamond Anniversary

I was waiting for someone to scream HELLO from behind the fence at the Bates Hotel!
5:13 anyone notice that steam locomotive?
It's been there for a few years now
@@wc8289fun fact it was the collapsing bridge
"New" Earthquake is just fresh paint and modern looking props, right?
Never been on the ride,but the fact that the hydrogen truck appears to be a really old make and model,unlike most of the other props,I would assume so
Please tell me this is staying around! I want to experience this.
Good camera work,thanks.

11:47
Is that the All Nippon Airways livery?
One thing I immediately noticed is the better sound during the earthquake scene but what are the other significant improvements?
The sound being updated and a repaint of the subway train
Repaint and also I don't remember the studio equipment being there before
Is the runaway train coming back?
Not really. Nice to see it chilling on The Collapsing Bridge though. If only they could've found a way to work in somehow the Red Sea, torpedo/mine gimmicks, or even Battlestar Galactica. Heck, would've been nice to see the Flaming House make a comeback.
Looks better than Disney
That skull island one was so cool
What music soundtrack are you using at the end of the Bates Motel tour?
Where was the King Kong part where he attacks the tour tram?
It got burned down in 2008 and was replaced by king Kong 360°
Very funny that they referenced the bttf musical lol
