Universal Studios began offering tours in 1964. Today, Universal Studios still offers tours, and they still make movies – but it has also become one of the largest amusement parks in the world. In fact, Universal Studios has mixed movie making with shows and a theme park full of rides to become one of the most popular tourist attractions in the world. The Studio tour is a one hour guided tour. Those on the tour ride around the studio’s 420 acres on a tram, and see many stars dressing rooms, production offices, and often famous Hollywood stars. W here else can you see a western town and a New York City street all in the same hour? The tour includes sets from Back to the Future, Curse of the Mummy’s Tomb, Jurassic Park III, and The Grinch. This is more than just your boring tour with a boring monotone tour guide! As the tour progresses, tourists encounter many disasters! Rebecca Hubbard
