this just saved me $400 Thanks

A lot of people are ripping on the cameraman/woman, but I give themes credit for filming for 2 hours. It takes a lot of patience to do that and they were generous to share the experience with all of us...

our bus broke down and we got a free vip experience, and thank god it took for ever for them to fix it, and on top of that they gave us jelly beans

Maybe the dude should ACTUALLY turn to the left but on the other hand the sets are AWESOME

that person with the loud camera shutter... i would be so ticked off if that was my in person tour.

I've taken the tour a dozen times over the last 50 years and the one thing that is sad about the tour, it changes to the most current filming history, with minor exceptions. For example the typical urban street, they talk about desperate housewives series and a few movies, but, the history of that street from "Leave it to beaver" Dragnet, Adam 12, Emergency, The list goes on forever. I get it, the under 30 don't care about what was filmed around the 50's, and the history would take to long to tell on a tour, still, sad so much history of what happens on so many lots and sound stages are being lost.

I've been on this tour a many times and I've NEVER EVER tired of riding this tour.

War of the world set is amazing! The detail in everything. Its amazing one of my favourite movies.

we did this last year and it was worth every penny! best theme park experience ever.

Had you guys(people that filmed this) waited to do this in December,the The Grinch part of the tour,you would seen a additional Christmas things like a Whoville 5 minute performance with people/Whoville residents dancing and The Grinch pops up to for a bit to say hi to us.Very neat show AND it snows in the park at night too!

Miss the collapsing bridge!!

I watched the whole thing really enjoyed it... Thank you! :)

Amazing bushes and trees we got to see, oh don’t forget those parking lots🤤

Wow love this...they bought these whole place for their movies...awesome big guys..

This was fun! Thanks! Felt like I was with the group!

Really enjoyed it killed some time especially in these lockdown times

The tour bus needs new brakes.

Very Very nice. Thank you for not jumping from side of the tram to the other side all the time

Whoever was working the camera should have panned left when they were talking about things on the left - there was so much we didn't get to see because we never saw the left side of the tour - major thumbs down 👎

we need a 360° camera!

Those breaks!! And why were they filming all out the right hand side? I was screaming to turn he camera round ahahha

WOW - thank you for uploading this video. I been to the park twice, but never had the chance to do the VIP experience tour. This made me wanna book a flight from the UK and get back to the Studios and get on this VIP tour.

Wow Universal has changed so much since the last time I was there. 1974 my brother and I did the tour 2 days in a row. On the second day we were detoured because they were digging a jagged ditch in the road we took the day before. It was for a new Charlton Heston movie "Earthquake". There was only one thing that was still there that I recognized and that was the flooding street. Thanks Universal, you've made me wanna go back and do the VIP tour. If not for all the newer stuff then for the buffet. (Note to self: don't eat 8 hours before the tour)

I recognize that train engine by the restrooms. In the 70s and 80s it used to come right at the tram. cool to see it still there.

Thanks for filming!

Thanks for sharing this!

fantastic video thanks

Wow, thanks so much for sharing this, i could never afford that tour! Greetings from Switzerland ✌🏻

I wish I could just walk around the psycho set. I literally have 0 interest in anything else in the park :(

Why is the tour driver talking like hes "Apart" of filming and production lol ....he's a tour guide lol

Went to America first time back in 2016 started in los angles. Such a fun place universal studios Disneyland need to go back again

I was very grateful to see what I did get to see here. Yes, I agree, grease or replace the brakes because it the audio picks it up for those taping it. I can't even imagine what it would have been like for someone who had a headache. It is affecting me just listening to it here. Otherwise, thank YOU for bringing me closer to a dream that I may never get to see.....a visit to California and to the studios.

The person video taping missed like a majority of shit because it was pointed in the wrong direction!

Jesus, thank you for almost 2 hours of staring at walls, foliage or the pavement. Surely if the tour guide is talking about something on the left, look left!

What an awesome tour guide

I like the last part of tour ❤

lucky ducks got to walk in court house square! ive done this tour 6-7 times and its always been off limits, pass through it once on standard tour, but VIP was always off limits as it was a hot set for ghost whisperer for a few years. i did pass through before the 08 fire though. it shame they didnt re build the Back to the future cinema jaws 19 on that east side of the square.

my god my ears hurt from those breaks :(

Memories.

Can you believe that Buffet?!! Give me only the 4 Tiramisa tarts and i'm okay for 3 days ! Wooaaw! Veggie pasta..shrimp..R u kidding me,?😀😀

why do u only have to film the right I would have liked to have seen the other side of the tram!!!!!!

I did the VIP tour twice and I’d gladly do it again. 100% worth the price!

always wondered about this, and if it was worth the price, thanks for posting..gonna be there next weekend!

to the left to the LEFT!!!!

Simple instructions : Don’t stand when vehicle is moving....moments later there is a kid and an adult standing 🙄

I was watching this during Halloween

These negative comments are not warranted. Nobody is paying to watch this video nor are they entitled to a full 2 hour tour that they are getting for FREE. When I was younger, I always wanted to do the VIP Tour. That is, until I went to Halloween Horror Nights and only paid $90 (annual pass discount) and got to walk around the back lot at night. I got to run around the Bates Motel area, get a picture with Norman on the front steps of the Psycho house and walk through the War of the Worlds set. Not to mention they had the downtown part of the back lot open with food, games and more mazes. It was a lot of fun.

GREAT THE VIP EXPERIENCE AT UNIVERSAL STUDIOS HOLLYWOOD IN LOS ANGELES CALIFORNIA !!!

Honestly I might just buy it just to walk down New York Street, one of my dreams.

interesting - thanks for upload.

During a tour of the Warner Bros Studios the host told that it was Warner Bros who had the most props in their possession ! Here I here Universal studios!

1:13:04 The old Train Attack part of the tour! I remember they had a dummy of Mr. T set up in the engineer's booth back in the 80's.

where the vip shuttle stops at the corner by the greek columns at 1:39:11 is where the ending scene of blade was filmed. where blade calls the russian vampire "comrade". the original facade burned down in the 2008 fire, and they replaced it with this one.

The Captain America: First Avenger scene where Captain America chases a cab down the street, the guide talks about on the New York street set, was actually shot on a real street that was dressed to look like Brooklyn and was in fact in Manchester England

I was there yesterday 😀

Gilbert sort your brake pads out please 😂

I would go on this tour in a heartbeat. A suggestion is for Universal to offer a tour exclusive to classic film and television, 1930 to 1980. A lot of the recent films are geared toward kids and young adults. I am more interested in Hitchcock, the Universal Horrors of Frankenstein and Dracula, the Westerns and Film Noir. Perhaps, they could set aside a tour - once a week - for the classics.

Heavy breathing. huff huff huff.

Really Nice!Thanks so much for posting!It's like bein' with the Tour..love it! Had a question though :what camera was used for this?..cause the stabilizing and res are Just really good on this ! wow! many friendly greets!👌

The guide at the prop warehouse looks a lot like Aaron Sorkin lol...

i SO want to work there

Do you know which sound stages did they shot a few of my favorite shows; such as Fraser, Cheers, Fuller House, Last Man Standing? Just to name a few of my favorite TV shows from Paramount and NBC.

80 days to the point of the day before my eyes

nice they have new lyons estate gates from BTTF. When i did my tour in 2008 they were ok, but the lions where facing inward and the wrong way to that seen in the movie When i went on my 2009 tour one of the gates had been hit by a production vehicle i was told and damaged. Nice the 30th anniversary team donated these new ones and they are more screen accurate. There surely is though a better place to have these on the tour? and placed in the the backlot, to have them infront of the ' hilly valley' new homes sign like in the film would be much nicer than just infront of tatty gates and caravans etc etc.

at 1:47:15, that looks like the gas station and apartments with the fire escapes were used in Hairspray Live! when they did the song "Without Love"

Do not quit your day job, Camera Man!

I see the King Kong attraction and the various movie cars are part of this tour, but last week they weren't included in the regular 1-hour tour this year, unlike last year. Can't afford to go on the VIP tour.

Waching on youtube the vidéo hit de cette annonce qui a été annulée sur le champ par l' esprit saint en aout 2015. Prévenir.

awesomeness

I guess the directors, producers ,and the other crew members have to return the prop and/or props that they use for a television show producing a TV show like Fraiser.

i remember doing this not too long ago i think about 1 or 2 months ago

been there 3 times during the years at different times of the day...and never seen something being filmed or actors around...strange, isn t it?

Did they not get to see wisteria lane anymore? When I did the free tour, we drove through Wisteria Lane.

Is that the train from Back to the Future III? When they go on a bathroom break in 6 points texas? 1:13:00

I remember when iv seen them recording bates motel one time there

Wow!!

That one girl in pink and shorts liked to be filmed 😂

very good

yes the brakes are killing us!

How is the tour and how much are tickets for adults (Florida residents)? Oh I forgot to mention is it opened to disabled people like any other guest?

ugh wish i saw the jurassic 2&3 set

I honestly thought that for $400 you would get a little more....

Half that lot spending all their time of their phones and the rest looking typically disinterested...remember it’s a theme park made for your money well done for giving them it!

I wanna go back to universal studios to do the tram tour

$350 for that though. Ouch

Wow. 20 seconds in and the first film reference isn't from a Universal film.

For one moment I thought you were going into the restrooms to film!!!!! Great vid though.

any idea what the blue dot stickers on the food labels mean? 1:55:23

As crazy fun as the FAST & FURIOUS aspect of the tour is,they should have animated the Universal park so it looks like we are still in the park and all this crazy shit is all happening in it .Having the action start with the Rock and the others acknowledging we are in the park but have the action happen in Downtown L.A. is unrealistic and have 3 slightly different version of the 3d video playing for day time,evening and night. Lastly require that the guides be trained actors so they can react to urgent situations,because a mono toned voice guide kinda leaves us out of the experience,right??

I’m going to universal next week

i went back in 1980 when jaws set was new, im guessing before the fire, it sure wasnt 400$ back then.

Was the normal studio tram tour running that day

Did they use the plane crash site from War of the Worlds in Scary Movie 4 also?

Host points out interesting things on the left side. Camera stays on right, looking at the sides of buildings, or bushes. Vehicle stays put, idling, while host talks about something. Camera stays looking at the same thing on the right (nothing interesting) and doesn't pan around or even at the host.

What's the difference between this and the free backlot tours they do?

what the tour do after lunch?

Badass

hello, how Long the vip tour? the guide goes whith you in the Park? what time you eat? finishing the tour???

i wish i could do that

Nice California Girl in Stripes Pink and White T Shirt and Shorts
