Wanna be a part of the excitement in Hollywood's longest-running hit?  Cruise on over to Universal Studios Hollywood and step aboard the world-famous Studio Tour.  This action-packed studio tram attraction has taken over 125 million visitors behind the scenes of the movie and television industry's biggest hits.  Don’t miss your chance to get an exclusive peek at your favorite films and TV shows.

Fresh Additions
What’s new on the tour?  The visually spectacular chase sequence inspired by The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift utilizes advanced robotics and state-of-the-cinematic-art computer generated "pre-visualization" technology.  Prepare to be thrust into close-up range of the pulse-pounding, rubber-burning underground world of street racing. 

Plus, Whoopi Goldberg's incandescent star power now illuminates the Studio Tour with video introductions to the highlights of the behind-the-scenes experience, adding both a touch of whimsy and an insider's professional perspective.

What’s more, with help from the Oscar®-winning artisans of New Zealand's Weta Workshop Ltd., you’ll experience an update of a classic film technique while passing within feet of King Kong's S.S. Venture tramp steamer, an exact replica of the film's "bigature" prop. "Bigatures" are highly-detailed miniatures which can be filmed up close and manipulated in ways not possible with either a full-size prop nor a digital recreation.  This big-miniature offers the ultimate in realism when combined with traditional and digital effects.

Lights, Camera, Action
Immersion in an authentic Hollywood experience continues as you traverse the original movie sets where Steven Spielberg filmed his blockbuster, War of the Worlds.  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 Alfred Hitchcock thriller, Psycho.

With an unprecedented number of movies and episodic television productions keeping the standing sets and sound stages humming, on the Studio Tour, you better stay on the look-out for the casts and crew of such productions as Crossing Jordan, the top-rated CSI: Crime Scene Investigation, and a constantly changing roster of major motion pictures.

Universal Studios Hollywood is located at 100 Universal City Plaza, Universal City.  For tickets or more information, call 800-UNIVERSAL or visit www.universalstudioshollywood.com.
