1:56
not seen this view inversion of it like
2:00
a cityscape almost similar to what's
2:04
over here on the opposite side quite a
2:07
bit of painting and touch-ups going on
2:09
up there on the scaffolding nice little
2:11
sunburst they are off to the left of the
2:13
screen just for effect the front portion
2:15
still has it but you can see around the
2:16
right side also open to anyone hell
2:23
flashing back to about a year ago this
2:23
area looks completely different at least
2:26
the right over here and just off to the
2:28
side removal of yet another Halloween
2:31
house - nothing has to be about 25 feet
2:34
tall all the way up to the roofline come
2:36
on wearing that cap you got a smile you
2:38
got a smile and that's what I'm talking
2:40
about that's the spirit to use the word
2:42
progress it is man it is really coming
2:45
along down there
2:48
a new area now they haven't officially
2:50
and technically announced formally what
2:54
that section is going to be but the
2:56
rumor mill is strong very strong notice
3:00
a tram going by down there next to the
3:03
fire station this is a working City the
3:06
roof seems to be already on that portion
3:09
and over here no roof but definitely
3:13
moving at a brisk pace Construction was
3:17
gosh as quick as these seasonal tear
3:19
downs ago and should be able to walk in
3:20
this little region next to the palace

3:33

3:38
I'm just taking a poll I'm taking a poll
3:40
when I carry on all right see a donkey
4:06
looks like they haven't started
4:06
dismantling the clown's tent area circus
4:11
tent get a pretty good perspective from
4:13
right here above this huge massive
4:17
sections of escalators you can see down
4:20
there what the future holds just to the
4:25
backside of transformers attraction it
4:28
seems is that pretty much all the trees
4:30
are very very tall around these parts
4:32
some new garments and even some some
4:35
ornaments an array of different versions
4:38
pretty cool oh wow
4:40
take a look over there up close and
4:43
personal some very serious goings-on
4:46
right-side just to give a little
4:49
perspective on the size of this place
4:51
way up there on top of the parking
4:52
structures where the minions section is
4:54
where I was a little bit earlier and now
4:56
on the lower lot oh dang a very very
5:00
bold statement indeed decorations and
5:02
full effect along that wall I kind of
5:05
like this one you could say it's ready
5:07
for action
5:20
please do not sit on the steps they're
5:20
not kidding do not sit on the escalator
5:23
when the wait time is only 15 minutes
5:25
for the studio tour you get in line
5:27
that's not too shabby 55 years of the
5:31
studio tour we started doing these tours
5:34
back in 1964 and back then there was no
5:40
theme partner there was a movie studio
5:42
and the movie people thought hey let's
5:46
invite the public to come in and see
5:47
what it looks like where we work so we
5:50
started doing these tours so the tours
5:52
came first
5:52
and they proved to be so popular that in
5:57
1965 a year later we added our
6:01
entertainment centers so we added a
6:03
stunt show and an animal show and a
6:05
couple of gift shops in a couple of
6:06
restaurants that was the beginning of
6:08
the theme park because you could see has
6:10
grown ever since and it keeps on growing
6:13
we've got a new attraction opening next
6:15
year based on the secret life of pets so
6:18
we do hope you'll come back next year
6:19
when when we open that new attraction
6:21
and check that out as well so for
6:25
several years this was the grand new
6:27
city hall for the TV series Ghost
6:29
Whisperer which star jennifer Love
6:31
Hewitt how can we change the look of
6:34
this building so dramatically well it
6:37
looks very impressive but it is just a
6:40
facade first we have a very imposing
6:43
front and a very imposing side but you
6:47
go round to the back all you'll find is
6:50
a little storage shed
6:51
that's all that's back there and those
6:54
solid looking bricks fiberglass panels
6:56
so taking the look of this building is
6:59
not all that difficult and what we did
7:01
with this building we can do with all
7:03
the buildings in our metro area we can
7:05
turn these streets into any main
7:08
anywhere in the world at pretty much any
7:10
period in time we have some of the cars
7:12
from Back to the Future Part 2 in that
7:16
movie they said we would have flying
7:18
cars by the Year 2015 I think we're
7:22
running a little late they're actors and
7:25
their job is to act and that's exactly
7:27
what they're doing the cars usually are
7:30
on the back of flatbed trucks surrounded
7:34
by camera equipment and sound equipment
7:36
and all sorts of stuff and so they're
7:40
not actually doing the driving there's
7:42
somebody else on driving that flatbed
7:45
truck doing the actual driving and
7:48
either engines are very heavy so I have
7:51
all that extra weight if you're not
7:52
gonna use it so you know you're oh
7:54
you've already got all this this other
7:56
stuff away you can get down you know the
7:57
camera equipment ooh the sound and all
7:59
that stuff so so you don't need an
8:02
engine for something like that big
8:03
sometimes it's even easier than that the
8:05
car's not moving at all in sauna it's on
8:08
it's inside of a soundstage on what's
8:11
called a gimble
8:14
now enough of all of that on here so
8:17
many TV shows have used our old Mexico
8:21
area here lots and lots of movies you
8:23
might recognize this from the Wallabies
8:26
comedy three memos
8:36
a lot of the old universal posture pumps
8:40
to a place right there
9:30
oh my goodness and let's see what else
9:30
do we have in our entertainment center
9:31
ah we have on the right hand side so
9:43
watch it watch your arms and legs as the
9:46
trams come out on the right dock exit
9:49

9:50
stuff with you follow the leader
9:56
