    I remember going with my family in about 1976. It was very much a studio, not a lot of extra stuff for the tourists. It must not have cost too much, because my parents wouldn't have paid a lot to go. My dad walked with a cane, and when we were waiting in line for the tram someone from Universal came and told us to go ahead and get on, because he was handicapped, we didn't have to wait. That was the first time as a kid that I can remember any sort of accommodations for him. The shark from Jaws was probably what scared me the most! There were the paintings from Night Gallery and the Bates Motel and lots of houses, buildings and props from movies and TV. A few effects like the flood of water coming down the hill. I can't imagine paying the prices they want now for the theme parks.

    Once again Mike, as Bob Hope sings, "Thanks for the memories"! My mother and I moved to Hollywood in 1962 and would go to Disneyland and Universal at least once a year. Also Knotts Berry farm. Universal was so much fun then, even without all the hi-tech of nowadays. They had a section where you could walk around and make photos with props. Like The Munster's house and Grandpas lab, McHale's Navy and Gilligan's Islands, Rat Patrol vehicles, foam rocks and giant size props of everyday things. You nailed it when you said that it just makes you happy to be there. It did and it still does when you take us there. Thanks again my friend for all you do.

      Yes! Yes! U are right on point about how Universal Studios used to be! I bet we were there at the same times! Now it's just a money making hi tech mess ugh!
      Hollywood used to be a fabulous place to live and play ... Everything lost its charm for sure!
      Thanks for The Memories for sure❤🎬!

      Yeah, really. Is the pavement going to be that damaged by the weight of cars that they need that kind of profit for potential repairs? I went to Universal Orlando a few years ago and that swore me off amusement parks for good. Just ridiculous what they charge for everything.

    • @TonkyTronicus
      @TonkyTronicus 2 місяці тому +2

      That's how they not so subtly goad you into buying the year pass. Parking is included (or at least it used to be.)

    $32 for general parking??? HOLY CRAP!
    My then husband and I went there and did the tour in 2002. I don't remember how much parking was then. I really enjoyed the tour! It was cool seeing everything, especially the "Jaws" shark, Jurassic Park exhibit and parting of the Red Sea. Oh, and the house and motel from "Psycho!" At the "Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" house, they were filming a TV show that was airing at the time (I can't remember the name), and one of the actors came out to the bus to say hi to everyone (can't remember his name, either).
    Oh, how did I forget the "Back to the Future" set with the clock tower and town? There was just so much. I haven't watched the video yet, so it'll be interesting to see what's different.

    Thanks Mike! They used to have quite a bit of area where it would be a walking tour back in the 70s,80s. They would take you into the buildings and show you how they make snow , props etc. I remember I met Grandpa Munster Al Lewis there in the 60s. Haven't been in 30 years! The GIV brings the magic to us 🥰👍

    I was there is 1977, the movie Airport was a theme at one of the attractions that the public were used in recreating the special effects of the crash into the ocean. I met Alison Martino and her parents there, I wonder if the place still has the van that the 6 Million Dollar Man lifts up ? The Psycho House was up on the hill, Jaws and the parting of the sea was there on the tour.

    Cool! I just went there in September 2023 to see Nintendo land. I hadn’t been there since the 90s and it was fun but has definitely changed a bit. Back then they let us get off the tram and go onto the studio sets. My aunt was chosen to get into a space suit and stand in front of green screen that made her look like she was in space and I got the seat where Jaws gets in your face. I miss the bridge and the giant King Kong. He was actually really cool. So much fun. 😂

From the financial T-Rex devouring all my cash to the quezy feeling of a thrill ride I just can't get off of. Then the Simpsons save me just in time and somehow I make through another day,! What a challenging time we live in.

The price of parking blew my mind $32 to park your car Man that's psychotic to me of course I don't live in California anymore not since the '70s. LA was real fun in the '60s and '70s of course I was a kid growing up but I loved it Loved the beach. 😅
