Universal Studio Hollywood -Guide-

Universal Studios Hollywood Shows and Tours

Everything at Universal Studios Hollywood has a movie theme. These shows and tours feature Universal films:

• Backdraft: Intense, fire-based show recreates the film's final scene, a chemical warehouse fire with exploding barrels and falling catwalks. Stand in the back row to stay cooler.
• Shrek 4-D: The fourth "D" is your seat, which seems to be constantly moving. The story is cute, like the film. Use stationary seats in the back row if you'd rather not get jostled.
• Special Effects Stage: Learn how sound and visual effects are created and how monsters are made.
• Studio Tour: Operating as usual while the back lot rebuilds after a big fire in 2008, but without the classic Back to the Future courthouse and King Kong, the tour visits parts of the working studio, classic sets such as Jaws and Psycho and made-for-the-tour acts such stunt cars from the film Fast and the Furious. Studios don't work on the weekend, so you'll see more hustle and bustle during a weekday tour, but may get to drive through sets like Desperate Housewives' Wisteria Lane on weekends. If it makes you want to learn more about how films are made, try the Warner Bros. or Paramount studio tours.
• Creature from the Black Lagoon: A humorous, Broadway-style musical show featuring the classic film's love-struck creature.
• Terminator 2:3D: This action-packed, 3-D film depicts a battle at Cyberdyne Technologies and is full of loud noises, strobe lights, fog and effects.
• WaterWorld: Jet ski tricks and fire effects are just part of this stunt show. If you sit in the green seats, you'll get wet.
• House of Horrors: An old-fashioned, carnival fun house updated movie-style, this walk-through attraction (which has some stairs) is full of screams and surprises.

Billboards around the park give show schedules for The Blues Brothers and Universal's Animal Actors. You can visit The Universal Experience any time. It's an interactive exhibit featuring props, costumes and other memorabilia from Universal's long film-making history.
You'll also find favorite cartoon characters around the park. Daily schedules show where and when.

Universal Studios Hollywood Rides and Water Play

• The Simpsons Ride: The most entertaining attraction in the park combines a wild, cartoon ride through Krustyland with a motion simulator. The storyline pokes fun at most of the theme parks in the area. See how many you can recognize. Minimum height: 40 inches.
• Jurassic Park - The Ride: an indoor/outdoor ride that drops you down an 80-foot waterfall. Getting wet? Guaranteed. Minimum height: 46 inches.
• The Adventures of Curious George: A water play area for the kids.
• Revenge of the Mummy - The Ride: This indoor, dark roller coaster is short, but that may be a virtue - if it were longer, it could be over-stimulating. Besides the Mummy theming, it goes forward, treats you to a creepy effect and then gets you back in reverse. Minimum height: 48 inches.

Tips visiting Universal Studios -Hollywood-

While You're at Universal Studios Los Angeles

If you can't remember them all, print these tips and take them along with you.

• Before you head out in your car and pay to park, ask if your hotel has a shuttle.

• Your bags will be inspected at the park entrance, and outside food is not allowed, except water, fruit and baby food.

• Write down the name of the parking garage and level you're on, or take a picture with your digital camera or cell phone.

• If you need to buy tickets, are using a credit card and don't have coupons to redeem, byass the lines and go to the self-serve machines.

• The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien is filmed at Universal Studios, but is not part of the tour. Reserve ahead for free tickets or try for one of the 100 stand-by tickets handed out at 10:00 a.m. in the audience queue area at Gate 3 on Lankershim Blvd.

• If you've taken our advice about all the things you should bring and don't want to tote it all around, leave warm clothing in the car and go back for it, or rent a locker near the entrance. You can also rent strollers and wheelchairs in this area.

• Take the studio tour early. They stop running long before the park closes. Avoid the back row of the tram cars. The engine's under it, and your legs will get hot. You'll get an unobstructed view of more things if you position yourself last in a boarding line, ending up on the left side of the tram.

• Don't let posted shooting schedules fool you. They're interesting, but you can't watch. However, at the Audiences Unlimited booth (straight ahead from the entrance) you can make a reservation to view a live filming during your visit.

• Plan where to meet in case you split up or someone gets misplaced. The easiest place is the entrance, but wherever you choose, be sure everyone knows where it is. Give the kids your cell phone number in case they get lost, so they can ask someone to call you.

• Universal Studios Los Angeles is a great place for kids to learn how to navigate with a map. Let them find the way to the next attraction.

• Go shopping at the end of the day so you don't have to carry your purchases around, or ask the store to use the free package delivery service and pick them up as you leave.

• If your child is too small for a ride, you don't have to stand in a long line twice just so the adults can both go on it. At any ride marked "Child Switch," ask an attendant for a pass for the second adult, who can wait with the child and then go straight to the front of the line as soon as the first rider returns.

• You can't avoid getting wet on the Jurassic Park - The Ride. Very wet. Use ponchos when they're provided, and go early enough in the day that you can dry out before it cools off.

• Food is expensive, and all-you-can eat dining passes are too, unless you're a big eater. Take a break and go to CityWalk to eat, but avoid noon when restaurants are busy.
