Universal Studios Hollywood is the original Universal Studios theme park, created initially to offer tours of the real Universal Studios soundstages and sets. This grew over the years into a full-blown theme park – the narrated tram (formerly “Glamortram”) tour still runs through the studio’s active backlot, but the staged events, stunt demonstrations and high-tech rides overshadow the motion-picture production that once lured fans in Universal Studios Hollywood.

Hollywood, UNITED STATES: Actors perform in the Waterworld Stunt Show at Universal Studios in Hollywood, 09 April 2007. Universal Studios Hollywood is the original Universal Studios theme park, created initially to offer tours of the real Universal Studios soundstages and sets. It is one of four fully-fledged Universal Studios Theme Parks, along with Universal Studios Orlando, Universal Studios Japan, and the upcoming Universal Studios Singapore, which will be completed by 2010. From the beginning, Universal has offered tours of its studio. In the silent-film days, Carl Laemmle’s tour included a chance to buy fresh produce, since then-rural Universal City was still in part a working farm. Shortly after MCA took over Universal Pictures in 1962, accountants suggested a tour stop in the studio commissary would increase profits, and in 1964, the modest tour was expanded to include a series of dressing room walk-throughs, peeks at actual production, and later, staged events. This grew over the years into a full-blown theme park – the narrated tram (formerly “Glamortram”) tour still runs through the studio’s active backlot, but the staged events, stunt demonstrations and high-tech rides overshadow the motion-picture production that once lured fans in Universal Studios Hollywood.
