Man, do I miss the original King Kong animatronic that used to be on the backlot tour. I feel fortunate to have experienced that tram segment before the tragic 2008 backot fire. Wish they'd bring it back.

My roommate was a tour guide back in the early 70's. That's when you could tour Lucy Balls' dressing room and New York Street was still dressed from shooting Earthquake. A friend of ours also a guide, at Christmas was dressed up as Santa Claus just to wave at tourists on the trams. At the end of the day when he took his wig off he discovered it was the same wig Charlton Heston wore in the Ten Commandments.

We went through around 1976. I remember Lucy's set, the Bigfoot Tunnel, and Jaws. Good times

The first time I rode that tram was 1984. They had Cylons from Battlestar Galactica fighting Colonial Warriors in the room that eventually had the earthquake and water flooding in. The spinning Six Million Dollar Man tunnel was the highlight of the tram tour for 15 year old me. You could also "lift up" the A-Team van and stand next to the Magnum PI Ferrari back then.

My son works at Universal and he took me to the cast member preview. It was awesome.

I remember taking the tram tour in '86 when the tram would stop for a few minutes and let everyone off to go check out some movie props. They had the big, oversized chair and telephone, but my favorite by far was the A-team van with a counterweight on it so you could push it over. All the little boys like me were taking turns pushing it.

Wow....did this tour in late 60's....thanks for posting this...

Still a park I need to visit. 😢 I love when you go here! Living through you!

Great to see you back at Universal Studios Adam. Hollywood edition. 🎉

Glad you get to visit Universal Studios Hollywood. I’m really looking forward to Epic Universe in Orlando. 😊

Rick (at 10:49) in the video is a guy I used to work with on the Universal lot. His name is Rick Alvarez...he and I used to drove the pumper trucks that pumped out the portable toilets/rest rooms that are on the sets. It's great to see that he still is working there...I got injured and had to switch jobs a few years ago. It's funny, a couple of the Production Assistants from one of the shows used to call us the "Doo Doo Dudes."

I miss the ice tunnel, and the shaky bridge. My first trip when I was 5 they had an elephant rides, props from Land of the Giants, and before leaving the special effects building you met H. R Pufnstuff.

Awesome and cool video Adam! Really enjoyed it!

Wow that takes me back to when it was in Florida good memories 😊

I love your Universal Backlot tour videos. Great to see Kurt ! Shout out to the tram drivers : they are always so fun and positive. Great ambassadors for the park.

Awesome shirt!

What a cool place!!!!

Oh, I must’ve missed you there! I had a 5:30 slot - we definitely stopped at the court house with Doc & the DeLorean AND saw the new dinosaur refresh. They must’ve skipped portions later in the day?? 🤔 This was such a great experience. Can’t wait to do it again when it opens up for the general public. Awesome Vlog as always! 👏👏🎉🎉

I went on one of the early tours as a kid, then took my step sons when they were young, but haven't been back to Universal since. I'm rarely in that vicinity anymore. Thanks for the video.

Great to be back at universal studios LA thanks Adam

I’ve been a fan of your channel for quite some time. I’m happy that you are friends with both The Philly Captain and @malfuncsean. I’ve never been to Universal Hollywood, but I have been to Universal Studios Orlando several times while visiting family. I really miss the Kongfrontation ride and Jaws. I remember being on the Jaws ride when I was 9 in 1997 and then getting stuck in a mini boat ride on the lagoon at the Grand Floridian the next day. It freaked me out. Thanks again for the great content.

I’ll be there next week, I can’t wait!

Great tour Adam😊

Love the monster mural!

Cool

Really enjoyed this one and the WB tour...been to Universal Hollywood many times...met W.G. Bailey at the Hard Rock in 2006...super nice guy.

Oh Hell Yeah - So Happy you're doing the new tour rendition !

Thanks Adam 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

We went on April 18th so much fun

Have been going to Universal Tours since the 60's and am glad, unlike a lot of other amusement parks, they have kept a lot of the original parts of the trams tour although the other attractions have been replaced over the years but most everything is well worth the time and money in my opinion, being a movie fanatic that I am! Loved the Norman Bates photo, lol!

Love this video its my birthday and this made my day

Good morning Adam, finally your video is up. I know ur in the West Coast not me im in the south, waiting all morning for Adam to see video lol. Thanks for sharing this. 😎📸✌️

Adam and finally a piping hot caffeinated Bev. Iv never been so early haha. Have a great time in cali sir

NICE, this was Great to see, Adam ! 😊

I have dim memories of doing this tour 50 years ago in 1974. No rides, just the tram tour with the "Ten Commandments" parting of the Red Sea.

I’m so glad that I was able to ride the original King Kong portion of the tram tour! Hate that they went to screens but they didn’t plan for what happened! Hope to run into you someday Adam the WOO!

Nice job on this video! Cool shirt!

Great to see you back in LA

I didn't know some disney movies were filmed at the Universal Backlot. That's really cool! I would love to go someday.

WE ALWAYS LOVE YOUR VLOGS ADAM! ❤ WILL YOU BE COMING TO SEAWORLD RESORT ANYTIME THIS YEAR, IN SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS? Love to see you there! 😊

Looks like the mustache experiment was short lived again, just like the first two.

I rememebr going on Earthquake when they had it at Universal Orlando like 24 years ago. that and twister.

A tram crashed a couple days ago. Looks like it happened on that left turn from the Jurassic park sets to the flash flood area. Apparently it had brake issues and the back end of the tram crashed and whipped against the rail. 15 people were injured.

Maybe my memory back but I remember to trames being blue and white back in the 80s. And going to orlando disney world to epcot go in to see star wars stuff

Thanks for the tour! You just saved me a lot of money😂😭🤑

The tour guide has such a great voice. A cross between Dixie Carter and Tallulah Bankhead. 🙂

@TheDailyWoo Adam, I did the pass preview on April 23rd. We did go through the clock tour area, got to see Doc and the car. They did a video on tram with 2 actors from movie talking about the filming . But we didn’t do the earthquake area. Or the jurassic Park cars area. I’ll be going again in a few weeks to see how they are doing the tour after the official start.

We had reservations for Monday at 6pm and went earlier in the day. Weekdays the studio is busy with filming so some of the areas normally open on weekends are closed off like the Metro sets (with Doc Brown and the Time Machine), Wisteria Lane, etc.... We decided to take an earlier tram around 4pm and only waited about 5 minutes. It was the same tour as the "AP Preview" that they've been doing for the last 2 weeks or so, so you really didn't need to go twice, so we skipped the reservation. lol The "Runaway Train" is just sitting on the collapsing bridge and the reason we skipped the movie car section was due to the accident last weekend that involves that sharp downhill turn into the flash flood area. The Fall Guy preview is Saturday at 11:30am if you made a reservation.

That bates motel picture is so cool.

That's cool that they drove the trams in the opposite direction. It gives you a new perspective.

Love Kurt!

My sister got me that retro shirt the last time she went to Orlando back in 2022. Miss those classic early attractions.

I can't wait to experience this! Adam, I have noticed the lines in the videos when it comes to the photo opportunities during the tram. I want to plan this out to get pictures with everything. How long do they give us to get pictures and get back to the tram?

It has been many many years since we've been on that tram tour.

probably filming going on in Hill valley which is why Doc was out in tram plaza greeting guests

Looks like we could be getting a Universal park here in the UK 🤞🤞

How many appropriate t-shirts do you own?

Glad to see you back here in So Cal. Great vid as always. They probably Hill Valley / Dinosaur area because of the accident recently in that area. The incident is under investigation so no trams are permitted. This is also the reason that a non-themed tram was used, because the damaged tram is out of service, and part of the investigation.

Wish we had this tour in universal orlando! And I miss jaws 🦈

🌴🌴😉 Yes Adam 2 answer 2 your question, yes the tramcar U were questioning because the seat's were facing the opposite way! Those trams were used on tour since the 70's I know I myself and family rode on them back in 1975 we did the tour lol. My how things changed 😯

When I went to Universal Studios in 1984, it was only the tram ride. There were certain spots you'd get off the Tram and could spend some time doing different things. I remember seeing the Psycho House which was really cool.

Hey Adam, are there backlot tours available in Orlando, Florida? if so, is it worth doing?

Watching the Universal backlot tour reminds me of how much I miss the Disney Hollywood Studios backlot tour 😢

It's weird to think that Universal would finally start caring for Woody Woodpecker in the park after leaving him absent for so long. Not counting the Netflix sequel.

Used to sneak onto the backlot when I was a teen and pretend I worked there to see things being filmed. Took the tram tour for years before the fire but haven't been back since. Missing Prop Plaza. Loved the King Kong animatronic. So much better than gorilla-on-a-wire from way back.

Hey Adam 🤗 I’d love to do this tour and visit Cali at some point in the future. It looks like so much fun but can appreciate for someone like you who knows so much already how it could have been a bit underwhelming (this specific one I mean) xx

Thank You Adam for bringing us along for another west coast adventure. Never gets old!

They should have brought back the collapsing bridge, and parting sea. I went to the preview.. basically the same except for a few photo ops in front behind bates motel.

Wonder what ever happened to the Cylon tank outside the Battlestar Galactica ride.. Always wanted a toy version of that!! need that popcorn bucket!!

I really do hope we get to go to court house square that’s the only thing I want to do on this, and if I can’t I will do a vip tour.

Did you know that the facade above the tanker truck in the Earthquake scene of the tour, was the old facade used in the original King Kong ride from back in the 90's?

My AP preview i give aq B-. Did you notice in Earthquake, it is not as shaky? I did the 7p preview on Monday and no Doc Brown. He was at the entrance to toe line que to the tour.

I miss the earthquake, jaws and some of the other original rides from universal studios florida. This looks awesome!

Every time we come rolling up to Fast and Furious on the Tram Tour...I always yell out "Can we skip it!!!" usually gets a few laughs
