Universal Studios Florida: THEN & NOW PART 2! | Attractions, Shows and Changes Over 34 Years

Universal Studios Florida opened on June 7th, 1990 and in this video, we take a trip back in time to the early years of the park to dive into more opening day shows and attractions, as well as what replaced those through the years. A lot has changed over the last 34 years, but at the same time, a lot has stayed the same. E.T. Adventure is the only remaining opening day attraction to still be in operation today. Shows like the Horror Makeup Show and Animal Actors were around in the 1990s as well! The 90s at Universal Studios really were about "riding the movies" and in this video, you'll see why!

    I really wish they would do something with the Fear Factor stage outside of just using it for HHN. There’s a similar theater over on the Islands of Adventure side that isn’t used at all anymore either (except for cheer comps, etc).

    OMG. I had totally forgotten about Murder She Wrote. I remember going on that attraction in 1994 when my parents took me there for my 16th birthday. I remember I didn't care about the attraction..I was just happy to be out of the heat!! 🤣🤣

    awesome video! part 1 was great too! Makes me miss so many things that was there like Jaws, which i luckily got to ride. If theres anything id love to be brought back on a more permanent bases, it would be Back to the Future, the Beetlejuice show and Ghostbusters...they are iconic across many generations so i think they could quite easily be permanent attractions/shows. ive been to orlando and universal twice, first time was 1997 and then 2008, so its changed ALOT since my last visit. Id LOVE to see a video on past characters that were at the parks over the year's, walk around characters or meet and greets..i remember my first visit in 97 and have memories of seeing the Ninja Turtles doing meet and greets in the NYC area. Your intro of the old universal add too featured alot of old stars like charlie chaplin and the marx brothers...i never saw those and has a marx bro fan, id love to see info on characters like that who used to be at the park and when they stopped having them....again last time i went they used to have lucille ball walking round doing a show, marilyn monroe in a car driving up and down which i think still was happening. Greetings from the UK!

    Great video! But there is one innaccuracy. The Murder She Wrote Theater was not torn down until sometime in 2007 or after. I worked at Universal from 2005 - 2007 and the theater was there the entire time I worked there.

    Random question but do we know where all those movie props are now and where the Lucy Emmy awards now are? Surely they are stored somewhere safe
