The Studio Tour at Universal Studios Hollywood, which has taken over 125 million visitors behind the scenes of the movie and television industry's biggest hits including:
"The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift", lively video narration by Oscar and Emmy-winning superstar Whoopi Goldberg, "Virtual studio guide" appearances from "Today" show star Al Roker, "Access Hollywood" hosts Nancy O'Dell and Billy Bush. The opportunity to see more working TV and movie sets than ever before, including sets from "CSI: Crime Show Investigation" and "Desperate Housewives."
Immersion in an authentic Hollywood experience continues aboard the Studio Tour as guests traverse the original movie sets where Steven Spielberg filmed his blockbuster, "War of the Worlds." Studio Tour trams pass through a small town devastated by an elaborately choreographed 747 jetliner crash, dramatically surrounded by still-smoking wreckage and shattered debris.
In true Hollywood fashion, the "War of the Worlds" set is sandwiched among original sets from "Jurassic Park: The Lost World," the snow-covered town of Whoville from "Dr. Seuss' The Grinch Who Stole Christmas" and the Psycho house and Bates motel from the classic thriller, "Psycho." Several decades of blockbuster movie history are crossed in just a few hundred yards.
"Flash Flood," which simulates the wrath of Mother Nature during a torrential down pour - pelting the tram with "movie rain," and culminating in a devastating flash flood visual effect, will become an even wetter experience as thousands of gallons of water are added to heighten the drama. And who better than to introduce this meteorological marvel than "Today's" popular weatherman, Al Roker, who will provide a video cue for the deluge.
Access Hollywood's popular hosts Nancy O'Dell and Billy Bush will co-host the pre-show video presentation for the Studio Tour, celebrating the memorable moments in Universal's 90-year film history, unearthing rarely seen outtakes and bloopers from the Universal film vault and other behind-the-scenes features designed to set up the experience for Universal guests.
