Friday August
0:15
30th
0:16
2024 I am heading down it's about 2:30
0:20
right now after
0:22
3:00 the tier of annual pass that I
0:26
have gets me access to any attractions
0:29
or rides without waiting it's like a
0:30
front ofth line thing after
0:33
3 so I've just kind of been lounging
0:35
until now going to head down and utilize
0:39
that pass and just have a late afternoon
0:42
early
0:43
evening until night Mall night Mall
0:47
Nightfall rears its
0:49
head at Universal Studios
0:57
Hollywood welcome everyone Adam the woo
0:58
here wearing an appro at
1:05
t-shirt as I go in this store the good
1:05
thing about staying in these
1:07
accommodations you could just walk
1:08
through here whenever you so
1:20
choose got to watch your stop filming
1:20
and running downstairs probably not the
1:30
best how of the Universal Hilton walking
1:30
over to Universal P2 now join me good to
1:34
have you here shall you that was walking
1:36
through the parking structure not the
1:38
hotel proper but they're connected
1:39
they're all the same they're all the
1:41
same
1:47
property maybe I just put something good
1:47
into the universe not only wearing the
1:49
appropriate shirt that I have on but
1:51
also walking down the staircase from
1:54
back to feature
2:01
two right fish and
2:01
turtles hopefully what I mean by putting
2:05
putting a good old good luck out there
2:07
maybe there's a possibility I could get
2:10
on the tram tour and see Hill
2:12
Valley doesn't happen often I would
2:15
say seven times out of 10 it does not
2:19
work out three times out of 10 actually
2:21
that's being generous probably more like
2:23
one time out of 10 lately I haven't been
2:25
down there I'm putting it out there
2:27
though I'm getting down there today on
2:28
the tram tour now the pass I have is the
2:31
Platinum
2:33
pass that is the one that gives you the
2:40
access after three on the attractions I
2:40
think that's the only one that does it
2:42
and even though it is a little bit more
2:43
than the other APS they have here in my
2:45
opinion I think it's worth it for
2:47
someone who comes here often because
2:49
there are no blackout dates the other
2:50
ones have blackout dates it also
2:53
includes one complimentary even though
2:56
it is added into the price ticket to
2:58
hhn throughout the entire season of
3:02
hhf the after three perk parking is
3:06
included of course I'm staying at the
3:08
hotel right there so it doesn't make a
3:09
huge difference that way but the no
3:12
blackouts and the after three works out
3:14
really well because the park usually
3:16
open till 6 7 8:00 9:00 on some nights
3:19
so if you come here later in the
3:20
afternoon you don't have to wait on any
3:23
rides or attractions can you imagine if
3:25
Disney had a pass like that what what
3:27
would cost to have an after three walk
3:29
on every attraction with the with that
3:32
tier of annual pass at Disney World or
3:34
Disneyland that that'll never happen but
3:37
it's available here all right perfect
3:39
heading in now it's about 10 minutes to
3:41
three 10 minutes I I can get in before 3
3:43
but they have to walk on past for the
3:46
attractions is after three that's what
3:47
I'm trying to say oo look at all the
3:49
little misters here Hitchcock will be
3:52
would be proud and since the last time I
3:55
popped in here take a look at this they
3:56
have the quiet place up over here so
3:59
this is evidently going to be the hhn
4:01
the quiet place right over here they
4:02
didn't have the sign up last time I was
4:03
in here a few days ago so there will
4:05
definitely be a little hhn stuff
4:07
peppered in because it's unavoidable
4:09
because of all the stuff that's out also
4:11
instead of going over to Starbucks which
4:13
always has a a really ridiculous line
4:15
I'm going to grab a coffee from in here
4:17
inside the French beastro there's no one
4:19
in here that's how it's done in and out
4:23
about 3 minutes honestly 3 minutes might
4:26
have been an OV exaggeration it was
4:28
probably more like a minute and and 6
4:30
seconds something like that it wasn't
4:32
long just to get the coffee they just
4:33
handed it to this is showing 35 also
4:35
there's a fire truck right over let's go
4:36
with that fire truck but sh 35 minutes
4:38
for the world famous Studio Tour 1
4:41
minute till 3 and I can scan my pass and
4:44
go through the express line which is
4:45
right here at the Forefront and not wait
4:47
in that vast line behind it so I have to
4:49
wait 35 minutes if I wait one more
4:51
minute I can just walk in by scanning my
4:53
my scan on my pass a 3:00 it's time it's
4:57
time they had a seat for me right
5:03
I us like being over on that side but
5:03
you know what to walk on and immediately
5:05
on this
5:06
side the Red emergency board runs along
5:09
the center of the ceiling of the tra and
5:12
back safe for me to do so otherwise
5:14
during the entire time with your arms
5:17
and legs inside coule after I got stud
5:20
is private property so if at any point
5:21
during the tour you you can drop your
5:23
phone or just can't wait to use the rest
5:24
pull the cord and let oning h Just Hold
5:30
On Tight get shaky be pretty dang cool
5:32
goes all the way down the side of the
5:36
mountain when the gy Line bus tours
5:38
originating in Hollywood would make a
5:40
stop at our gates and then on July 15th
5:42
1964 first that is a real uh fire
5:45
station on the right because we are a
5:47
real City we're called Universal City
5:49

5:51
everything we also at this point have a
5:52
theme park and a film studio right film

6:02
director
6:10
recreated down the tiniest coming up
6:10
next on your left is tan building with
6:11
the curved roof the doors open set
6:14
pieces waiting to be used and then on
6:16
the right we have stages 16 and 17 these
6:18
were home to a very funny show called
6:20
Never Have I Ever creaded by start
6:23
something pre-production or like set
6:26
construction I have it in the big coming
6:29
right you'll see on the outside lots of
6:31
posters but inside this
6:34
building alred Alfred Alfred Drive in
6:37
roughly where now the Jurassic World
6:39
Drive resides on the lower lot R past
6:43
the Bungalows on the left we have a big
6:44
building made up of two sound stages in
6:46
the back and the front part with the big
6:48
Windows those are writer's
6:50
rooms on the show is a documentary sou
6:53
comedy will'll be premiering in November
6:55
and yes they are filming right now we're
6:58
going to Hill Valley we're going to
7:00
Valley Back to the
7:34
so coming up on the left you'll see a
7:34
theater set right on the corner with a
7:36
big green Marque that was featured in a
7:39
Taylor Swift music video at the end of
7:41
the video for the song Wildest Dream she
7:42
runs out of a theater gets in a car and
7:44
drives away as the theater she ran out
7:46
of New York's been seen in a lot of TV
7:48
shows like Brooklyn 99 American Ninja
7:51
Warrior Criminal Minds and maral's
7:53
Agents of Shield just name a few lots of
7:56
movies have filmed here like Hobs and
7:57
Shaw Disney's Captain America
8:00
the sides of the structure just when the
8:02
camera sees and then the audience fills
8:04
in the rest with their
8:06
imagination if a set also has an
8:08
interior for filming inside and out
8:10
that's called a practical set we have a
8:12
few of those mixed in here and what
8:14
looks like brick on these sets is really
8:16
fiberglass
8:18
sheeting anything that looks like stone
8:20
or concrete that's really plaster we
8:22
also use a lot of wood in the framing of
8:25
our sets here and we call it New York
8:27
street but it can be any City through
8:29
the magic of a set decoration this was
8:31
actually London in Hobs and Shaw it was
8:34
Depression era Chicago and the sting
8:37
back in 1973 starring Paul Newman and
8:39
Robert Redford and sometimes our sets
8:41
just play themselves that was the case
8:43
in an episode of the sitcom Will and
8:45
Grace where Karen played by Megan malali
8:47
took a Universal Studio story she see
8:50
she's in Disguise here voice earlier
8:52
coming up on electricy stage is 30 and
8:54
31 uh that is where an episode of The
8:55
Voice is filming
8:57
today keep it top secret
9:09
assuming they going to be back
9:51
it's
10:31
here this
10:31
there
10:32
goes not a monor
10:36
rare more of a
10:55
Subway sorry I wasn't paying attention
10:55
that looks like a flash FL
11:09
dur now from Old Mexico we're going to
11:09
head right to the old west our western
11:11
town uh is called six points uh we drove
11:14
past the side of it earlier now we're
11:15
going to drive down the main road six
11:17
points can be seen in classic westerns
11:20
like dester Rides Again with Marina
11:22
Dietrich and in more modern nacho Li's
11:26
apartment right there of the wildon for
11:29
the Opera House coming up on the left
11:31
hand side is a practical set so that
11:33
does have a full interior for filming
11:35
inside and out we've got just like SE on
11:39
the tour a mix here of facad and
11:41
practical sets and these are Western
11:43
sets so of course they've seen airfare
11:44
share of barro to a dirt road but the
11:47
road in six points today is paved
11:50
so right decoration if you want this to
11:53
look like you know a real old western
11:55
town from the 1800s you have to bring in
11:57
your own dirt and Productions due and
11:59
they cover the pavement with it and then
12:01
when they're Interiors were in there too
12:03
take the
12:05
with where points in honor of our
12:08
original silent film era Western sets
12:10
that were made up of six streets that
12:13
radiated out from the from a central Hub
12:15
kind of like the spokes on a wagon wheel
12:17
and back then you really could make six
12:18
different westerns at the same time
12:20
because these were silent films so there
12:21
was no issue of sound interference
12:23
during the silent filero westerns were
12:25
our biggest genre at Universal by far
12:29
and again we had nonwestern film in six
12:31
points Steven Spielberg's worked there
12:33
on the color purple and this film
12:35
Amistad uh Steven's name comes up a lot
12:37
of the tour again we've got a wonderful
12:39
association with him that's been going
12:41
on for years now uh he even works with
12:43
us at the studio tour sometimes after
12:45
his movie Jaws was such a massive hit he
12:47
helped bring the Jaws attraction to the
12:49
tour it's called Elm Street no
12:51
nightmares have been down there it's a
12:53
Missle but the house closest to us with
12:54
the green roof was buo Radley's house in
12:57
the film To Kill a Mocking Bird um
12:59
recently TV shows are filmed down there
13:01
like Drunk History and never have I ever
13:04
coming up on the right hand side we have
13:05
the chicken ranch the main house is a
13:07
practical set interior it also
13:09
originally was designed to open up a
13:10
giant dollhous produ
13:18

Colonial Street as the sign suggests the
13:24
CL s sign there is production setup down
13:27

13:28

15:26
Five Nights at Freddy's section over

15:31
be happening in less than a week also I
15:33

15:48
definitely want to do secret life of
15:49

15:57
going on out at the bottom I don't know
15:58
if I'm going to do
16:00
Jurassic I feel like getting completely
16:02
soaked but I do like Jurassic world here
16:04
though it's a good
16:05
one nendo world over there too Nintendo
16:08
Land Nintendo World Nintendo lande one
16:10
of the over we lot achieved it looks
16:12
like one of the houses is going to go
16:14
underneath the Jurassic world Archway
16:17
that's going to be the monsters one
16:18
that's going to go over to the Sound
16:19
Stage it was used in the old Universal
16:21
monster movies which it's going to be
16:23
awesome right over here next to the meet
16:24
and greet I'm noticing I'm finally
16:27
seeing some recognition about Texas
16:30
Chainsaw being here when I was here a
16:31
few days ago there was nothing up that
16:33
said Texas Chainsaw was going to be here
16:35
and now there is a sign stating I am so
16:39
I think this is might be the one that
16:40
I'm looking for more than any of them is
16:42
the fact I love Texas Chainsaw 1974 I
16:45
just turned 50 it's turning 50 except
16:48
this is going to be the legacy of
16:51
Leatherface so they're going to have all
16:53
the different eras all the different
16:55
movies all the different spin-offs all
16:56
the different leather faces in one maze
16:59
so I'm looking forward to that H the
17:00
cooling misters and with the sun
17:03
permeating there I think I am going to
17:04
go on Jurassic R holy cow literally a
17:09
walk-
17:15
on well a walk- on with the with the
17:15
express I have a feel I'm going to get
17:17
really really soaked though cuz I'm
17:19
going to have the second from the back
17:21
row on the end right there I think
17:24

to it but now that I've seen it I

merchandise for hhn has dropped since
20:49
the last time I did a little update a
20:51
few days ago when I was in here and I
20:52
was hoping they put out a short sleeve
20:54
of the teror tram cuz I always try to
20:56
get one every year last year I got one
20:58
with the bug what was the bug maze Larry
21:01
larvae and all that they had these the
21:03
other day and they had the hoodies the
21:06
other day that had the tram on it but I
21:08
wanted something exclusive to Hollywood
21:10
that they don't have in Orlando and of
21:11
course they don't have the trams in
21:14
Orlando so I have gotten a shirt right
21:16
here I'm going to buy this also just
21:18
asked a team member about any Texas
21:20
Chainsaw merch she was saying no no no
21:23
chainsaw merch yet so I don't know
21:25
what's going on with that I don't know
21:26
what's going on with that there is Slash
21:28
merch but I also haven't seen any
21:30
chainsaw Punk merchandise either so
21:32
that's kind of weird no Texas anything
21:34
chainsaw weird any Texas Chainsaw or
21:36
chainsaw punks no merchandise isn't that
21:38
bizarre it is a little odd to be honest
21:41
why I don't have any merch I actually
21:44
walk down through CityWalk and went to a
21:45
couple other spots the production
21:47
Central store and the other shop that
21:51
was the the main merchandise store on
21:54
CityWalk and neither one of them had
21:55
they did have some new weekend merch the
21:58
weekend Trilogy house merchandise but no
22:01
Texas chainsaw and just curious to see
22:05
maybe there won't be any maybe it's just
22:07
the maybe it's just the house and not
22:09
the merch and that's going to do it for
22:12
today pretty good pop it in after the
22:15
after
22:16
three Express Platinum pass well worth
22:19
it I highly recommend it if you're going
22:21
to buy a
22:22
pass that's the one to get if you're
22:24
going to go more than a few times a year
22:26
especially considering the price that it
22:28
it is to get front of the
22:31
line kind of do the math on it plus you
22:33
get that hhn
22:39
ticket discount on merch it's kind of
22:39
worth it in my opinion just my opinion
22:41
I'll see you in the next video the Vlog
22:43
is over
