Universal Hollywood the reality I am in
2:12
I'm actually in the basement of the
2:14
Hilton Universal Hollywood
2:21
I wanted to point out the staircase
2:21
this isn't a filming location video I'm
2:23
not going to match anything up or
2:24
anything like this but anyone is a fan
2:25
of Back to Future 2
2:27
might recognize
2:29
this very staircase my friend Justin
2:31
scarred years ago we became friends
2:33
because of
2:34
Back to Future website he ran for the
2:36
filming locations and he is the one that
2:38
figured this out sometimes when you go
2:40
on the internet you see things stating
2:42
things and they don't always give people
2:44
credit
2:45
but he is the one that discovered that
2:48
this is the spot
2:50
from Back to the Future Part Two
2:54
look at this you just picture Marty
2:55
McFly Biff coming out of here going over
2:58
the railing pretty sure it was this one
3:00
the P2 one
3:02
you got the lower level down here
3:05
you got that down there yeah looks
3:07
familiar right
3:10
pretty cool
3:11
it's a Hidden Gem
3:13
well it's not a gym you can't work out
3:15
in here no I mean okay there are two
3:17
different ones that look the same I also
3:19
have a Disney bag here on Universal
3:22
Hollywood property let me just step in
3:24
here and just see maybe
3:26
just to confirm that the other one was a
3:27
oh yeah
3:29
definitely was the other one because
3:30
look how this one is
3:32
yeah it's not even the same the
3:34
formation of it 100 percent
3:37
this is the other one I was just out
3:40
down there
3:42
there's two of them there's this one
3:44
and there's that one that's the ones in
3:46
back to feature too something location
4:03
I love these rooms mostly because you
4:03
can see
4:04
down into Universal Hollywood here's the
4:07
tub
4:08
you got one sink over there
4:11
toilet over here
4:13
plenty of towels and whatnot a little
4:15
makeup mirror you can kind of see me in
4:17
the reflection over there
4:23
you got the tub aspect
4:23
you got the nozzle aspect they use
4:26
Crabtree shower gels and shampoos
4:30
and then over here
4:32
Crabtree also for the Soaps and whatnot
4:37
and of course it wouldn't be Hollywood
4:38
without some of these
4:39
proper decor
4:41
Rodeo Drive
4:50
I got the
4:50
coat hangers safe to say that's where
4:52
you put your money extra towel get this
4:55
little eye to put your suitcase on I
4:57
have opted
4:59
to just utilize suitcase over here I've
5:01
already taken my shoes off made myself
5:02
comfortable I could also place it here
5:04
no Keurig but they have this Cuisinart
5:06
here
5:08
and the grand reveal
5:11
out onto the valley out there
5:13
pretty awesome there's a pullout couch
5:15
here I opted for just a one Queen one
5:17
king bed
5:19
but also a pull-out couch so
5:21
there's someone else's here they can
5:22
sleep here
5:23
this is my accommodations
5:25
king bed here's a local Pier could be
5:29
Costa Mesa Huntington
5:32
definitely not Venice not Santa Monica
5:35
it is one of the Southern California
5:36
piers
5:38
two o'clock you can see is the time
5:40
period
5:41
here it's got plenty of places you could
5:44
charge your phone and other accessories
5:45
nice comfortable bed
5:48
I stayed here about two years ago
5:50
when I was still living in California I
5:52
was doing a whole hotel series
5:54
but I had a different room I did not
5:55
have this particular view it was on the
5:58
other side of the hotel down that way
6:00
this is awesome you see the globe down
6:02
there
6:03
see Wizarding World and the newly about
6:06
to open is soft opened but the newly
6:08
about to open for good
6:11
Nintendo World down there you can see
6:12
some of the moving parts
6:14
the top of Griffith Park that tree up
6:16
there is called The Wisdom Tree I've
6:18
hiked up to that before a couple years
6:19
ago still up there it's just one lone
6:21
big tree on the corner
6:23
pretty good view down in the valley and
6:25
Universal from up there too
6:27
way up there
6:32
and of course the regular parking that I
6:32
usually will park in is over there one
6:34
of those lots and I walk through
6:35
CityWalk
6:36
and then there's that globe that I was
6:38
talking about
6:40
see the globe right there
6:47
and then the surfboard fence like a
6:47
shark fin yeah that's the same globe
6:48
that used to be in Orlando
6:50
and then the front entrance the red
6:52
carpet
6:53
into Universal Studios Hollywood Water
6:56
World
6:57
stunt show back there
6:59
the castle man that is awesome
7:05
and then you could even see
7:06
more of Wizarding World there we have a
7:07
snow-capped oh and then look secret life
7:09
of pets right down here
7:11
in the big minion
7:13
overlooking the valley when you're
7:14
coming in off the freeway there's
7:16
another way up into this the hotels into
7:17
Universal up this very Steep Hill they
7:21
used to be kind of kind of empty on the
7:23
sides of the road now they're building
7:24
this huge other structure a hotel or
7:26
something here
7:27
and that is the new Super Nintendo World
7:33
right there you can see the former ET
7:33
attraction well former ET attractions
7:35
over there kind of tucked away can't
7:36
really see it
7:37
now the mummy and then right here
7:40
Transformers and then superintendent
7:41
world
7:47
right over there look you see some of
7:48
the moving parts
7:50
might be people in there may have soft
7:51
open today too I don't know we used to
7:53
be a Back to Future ride now Simpsons if
7:55
you look behind it
7:56
you'll see Warner Brothers
7:58
all the sound stages for Warner
8:06
and there is the water tower for Warner
8:06
Brothers
8:07
got a trolley train going by I believe
8:09
that is the
8:11
well that might be
8:13
yeah that's just a shuttle that goes up
8:15
the side of the Hill
8:17
and then brings people up to the side of
8:19
the Hill down
8:20
from the main road
8:22
but usually I will park in over there
8:24
that's usually where I'll park that's
8:25
where most people park over there and
8:26
now that I think about it when I stayed
8:28
here a couple years ago I wasn't able to
8:30
walk in the park because the park was
8:31
not open yet it was during that time
8:33
when you know all the Southern
8:34
California theme parks were closed so I
8:37
just stayed here I believe I got some
8:39
food I ate
8:40
over at one of these desks over here but
8:43
I was not able to walk into the park
8:45
which now I'm going to utilize
8:48
on this trip there's the freeway down
8:51
more of the valley
8:53
so I'm pretty excited about this stay
8:56
I'm pretty excited about it I'm gonna go
8:58
down there a little bit later
9:00
a little bit later okay the water world
9:01
show started a few minutes ago towards
9:03
the beginning oh there it goes the flare
9:04
look at that smokers
9:07
in the distance it's been about 13
9:09
minutes from now
9:11
should oh there's another one look at
9:13
that oh that's awesome
9:14
I'm glad I caught it
9:16
walk back over here the window in a few
9:18
minutes and try to catch the sea plane
9:19
which will be I'll zoom in a little
9:20
closer than that okay I got it zoomed
9:22
way in this should be happening any
9:25
second now
9:26
well wait a minute I'm just gonna keep
9:28
it right on there
9:30
so just to the right that mushroom
9:32
looking
9:34
metal building the pillar there
9:36
should be getting ready to burst off
9:38
here any second I can see them having a
9:40
little scuffle there on the ledge
9:43
and
9:45
says something about the C plus I can
9:47
see the little basket going down
9:50
for the girls going down to the other
9:52
side
9:56
I think Deacon's up there he's gonna say
9:56
not my cplay not my C plane or get my C
9:59
plane something like that paraphrasing
10:02
and then the C plane should launch
10:05
right here
10:11
right about this second
10:11
I mean I can't hear the audio program
10:12
here obviously so I don't know
10:15
okay yeah he launched it down
10:17
yeah like the grenade launcher down up
10:20
here it comes
10:33
engine noise I'm hearing except oh yeah
10:33
yes
10:35
into the water
10:37
Epic
10:41
so cool to see it from this angle all
10:43
right the sun has gone down now
10:58
looking down at the area they're doing
10:58
another water world show so I should be
11:00
able to see some of the
11:02
High Road fire
11:04
at the crescendo of the show I think I'm
11:07
gonna walk down maybe a City walk I'm
11:09
not sure if I'm gonna go in the park I'm
11:10
definitely going to walk down the
11:10
CityWalk at some point
11:12
but I just heard a little Rumble down
11:14
there it wasn't Thunder it was part of
11:16
the show
11:18
I'm not sure because you can't see the
11:20
castle I don't know if they're doing a
11:21
projection oh look over there I've got
11:23
the light to City Walk there
11:25
I can kind of see the smoke over at the
11:27
amphitheater
11:29
but the Castle's not lit up so they
11:31
might do a projection show at some point
11:32
I gotta look and see what time that
11:34
would be
11:35
but I am going to go down there
11:45
there's the archway there
11:45
it's just so fascinating how many times
11:46
I've been down there
11:48
seeing it from this View
11:51
now that it's open
11:52
the last time I was here was all closed
11:54
down so it was kind of cool to see it
11:55
but it wasn't really much going on down
12:04
the castle is right there hiding in the
12:04
Darkness
12:05
from here you can't see it but you can
12:07
see it if you're in the park
12:09
and then right over in there should be
12:10
getting a grand finale
12:12
at the stunt show momentarily oh
12:16
there it goes almost seems like
12:17
lightning almost oh okay I should get
12:20
the seaplane now that was the
12:22
all right let's see if you can see the
12:24
sea plane
12:25
right in here it's dark so it's hard to
12:27
see if I'm even pointed in the right
12:28
direction
12:30
oh there's the tower oh yeah yes
12:33
oh my gosh
12:40
look at that
12:40
lit up the whole stadium down there
12:42
couldn't even see it until they
12:45
until the fire happened
12:47
that's pretty dang cool
12:49
and then another minute or two they're
12:50
gonna have the grand finale
12:52
that's awesome
13:00
oh look there's the the fire effect he's
13:00
gonna go he's gonna fall off the
13:01
platform
13:02
there he goes the dive the fire dive
13:09
and there's oh look at that
13:09
this is a mate this is freaking amazing
13:20
it's like it's I'm hearing the
13:20
soundtrack in my head because I'm used
13:21
to but I mean I've probably seen the
13:23
show 30 times
13:25
I guess one of my favorite stunt shows a
13:27
lot of like the Indiana Jones stunt show
13:28
at Hollywood Studios in Florida but this
13:31
one's far more Superior in my opinion
13:33
those are my two favorites
13:41
it's getting crazy down there
13:41
I was having a hard time figuring out
13:42
where the stadium was until all this
13:44
like started to happen
13:46
and now that it's so bright
13:48
tell you the truth I don't know where
13:49
the LA oh there we go okay the boat's
13:51
going away I could see it moving this
13:53
should be the crescendo yep there you go
13:55
little Pyro
13:57
unbelievable
14:13
made it up to this level well went back
14:13
down to this level I should say
14:15
and now gonna walk
14:17
over to CityWalk
14:24
this direction got that big old minion
14:24
eye right there
14:34
there also is a shuttle to take you to
14:34
Universal but I mean it's just right
14:35
there so I'm just gonna walk it
14:37
but there is a shuttle also every 15
14:39
minutes will take you from here
14:47
to Universal
14:47
from the hill there's a little bit of a
14:48
chill in the air I did bring my Walt
14:51
Disney World 50th Anniversary
14:52
windbreaker that I got a Magic Kingdom
14:54
and I last night I bought this a DCA
14:57
but I feel like I need something a
14:58
little heavier so I'm going to CityWalk
14:59
I ended up getting a hoodie of some sort
15:01
approaching the rather large flag there
15:03
and that very retro signage up here they
15:05
had that Universal Studios Hollywood
15:06
retro looking signage which is kind of
15:09
classic
15:10
in my opinion just a very very classic
15:12
old school type of size I always love
15:14
that logo oh and there's the globe right
15:16
there all illuminate another Nightfall
15:17
as seen in the window right up there is
15:21
that because it is a Saturday night
15:22
there are a lot of people down here at
15:24
CityWalk look at all this there's a big
15:25
banana right there I ended up leaving
15:27
CityWalk after a little while it's
15:28
pretty busy down there
15:30
and it's been driving around
15:33
to figure out since I'm up in this area
15:34
I can check out a couple of couple
15:36
things
15:40
we're calling it a night
15:40
here's the Brady Bunch house last time I
15:43
went by this
15:45
was probably four or five years ago
15:46
maybe
15:48
and they completely refurbished it
15:52
and they even put the window in
15:54
they remodeled to look exactly like the
15:56
house does on the TV show where but we
15:58
had been
15:59
changed a little bit says TV production
16:02
but here it is sitting here looks to be
16:03
empty it doesn't look like anyone's even
16:05
residing in there
16:14
look at this as I'm standing here I'm
16:14
noticing there are a couple cars here it
16:17
looks like they have
16:18
some surveillance of people sitting in
16:20
front of it they don't want anybody
16:22
messing with it so whatever they're
16:23
doing with it
16:25
maybe for a TV show or something like
16:27
that
16:39
yeah I'm gonna drive around a little
16:39
more see what else I could find before
16:40
turning in for the eve right up here on
16:43
this corner is the Karate Kid Dojo right
16:57
right up here on this corner circus
16:57
liquor
17:22
one of these days when I'm out here
17:22
visiting I'm going to stay at the Safari
17:23
Inn
17:25
the historic
17:27
Safari and using a lot of different
17:28
movies
17:50
and then on the other side the s's burn
17:50
out
17:52
I love that classic neon pretty cool
17:56
right here in Burbank one really cool
17:58
spot that's kind of neat to go to is the
17:59
universe Universal City overlook
18:03
overlooking Universal City not just
18:05
Universal Studios Hollywood
18:07
but the
18:09
the theme park and the studio is its own
18:12
city called Universal City and this is
18:15
its Overlook way up side of the
18:17
Hollywood Hills looking down upon it
18:20
it's pretty awesome it's pretty awesome
18:21
to come up here especially at night when
18:23
it's all illuminated obviously you can
18:25
see more of the structures and
18:27
landmarks during the day
18:29
but at night with all the lights and
18:30
illuminae looks pretty pretty dang cool
18:42
now heading back to my hotel up this
18:42
very steep incline
18:54
Universal Studios is kind of built on
18:54
the side of a mountain
18:56
top portion is like an upper lot lower
18:58
lot
19:03
don't know if it really should translate
19:03
to camera very well but
19:06
it's up here now back where I began the
19:09
video started the intro here earlier now
19:10
I'm doing the outro or at least just
19:12
about to do the outrock ended up getting
19:14
a hoodie in the gift shop of this hotel
19:17
I think yeah it says actually says
19:20
Hollywood California and it was kind of
19:22
nice
19:26
it's kind of warm
19:26
that's gonna do it for today I think I
19:28
am going to go back into the little
19:29
secret Back to Future staircase
19:32
one last time show a little bit more
19:34
detail I got to thinking about it
19:36
there's some
19:37
I don't know there's like a where the
19:39
arrow was in the movie that was leading
19:42
up to the roof you can kind of still see
19:43
where that was so I want to show that
19:47
I really can't imagine anyone even using
19:49
these staircases
19:51
because if you go over there there's
19:53
elevators there's like elevators that go
19:54
up on top over there
19:56
and these staircases are kind of
19:58
secluded
20:00
I mean they're not really secluded but
20:01
they're not really like prominently used
20:03
I guess that's the word
20:29
there you can see where the arrow was
20:31
roof access up the highway
20:34
your Biff would have came out of here
20:37
character coming out of here
20:39
I've already fly played by Michael J fox
20:41
would have gone through that door
20:43
you can kind of see it going
20:45
closing that's how you knew he went up
20:47
to the roof
20:49
pretty awesome
20:51
I will show a couple of screen screen
20:54
grabs from it as well
20:56
where Marty kind of goes through that
20:58
door it was like they built a fake
21:00
facade on the other side of that door to
21:01
make it look like you're going up some
21:03
stairs
21:04
then you go into here really that's just
21:05
out into the parking
21:07
garage
21:08
kind of about like that the camera would
21:10
have been behind me on the little ledge
21:12
looking that way
21:14
but you can see the faint markings of
21:16
that Arrow going up to where it says
21:18
roof
21:20
roof access
21:22
and it's interesting too because it's P1
21:25
now when I started down there
21:28
which is P2 which is where I just walked
21:31
up from
21:36
this right here is P1 even though it
21:36
doesn't show it on the side of the wall
21:37
where that Arrow has been removed notice
21:40
how it has a number one there so
21:43
there's P1
21:44
and P2 right down there even notice
21:47
these two metal like wire enclosures
21:49
over there when he's like looking over
21:51
the railing those are still here too
21:52
they've added another one next to it but
21:55
you can see how they kind of Narrows
21:57
down the lower they go it still looks
21:59
like that to this day
22:00
yeah the rubber the rubber black one
22:02
there has been added but the other ones
22:05
are
22:06
are still there this is the perspective
22:08
he would have been looking down at
22:10
then he notices the door
22:12
is not closed all the way
22:15
which would have been right here
22:17
and you know everything kind of matches
22:20
up the cinder blocks and everything the
22:21
angle would have been about like that
22:25
even a little door hinge up top and
22:28
the board the line across the board
22:30
there in the middle as shown here
22:38
staircase kind of rusted out
22:38
and if you're curious what's out here
22:47
it goes up to this other staircase which
22:47
just leads
22:49
to the top portion that goes back up
22:51
into the lobby
23:04
this is probably one of the most rare I
23:04
don't know say it's the hardest
23:06
was it Back to Future spots but I know
23:09
it was like elusive
23:11
for a long time again I want to get a
23:13
big shout out to our friend Justin
23:15
scarred who's like I don't know 12 years
23:17
ago 13 years ago discovered this
23:19
after pretty much looking around every
23:21
Los Angeles
23:23
parking garage stairs he took a chance
23:26
drove out here this way before the
23:28
internet
23:28
where you could just Google stuff all
23:30
the time
23:31
and found it
23:38
I don't know how but he found it
23:38
so dang cool
23:40
of course now you know once you put once
23:41
you put something on the interwebs
23:43
it just pretty much becomes common
23:45
knowledge and
23:50
but yeah pretty awesome
23:52
whenever I stay here I have to like come
23:54
in here and go hey that's pretty cool
23:56
unbeknownst to so many people and
23:58
there's never anyone in here ever it's
24:00
also strange
24:02
how a moment in a film from 1989
24:06
that you've seen countless times even
24:08
though this is only seen in the movie
24:10
for
24:11
30 seconds 40 seconds can be etched in
24:14
your head imagine most people that are
24:16
watching this that are familiar with the
24:18
films didn't even need to see the photos
24:21
from the film the movie they probably
24:24
already knew what this was just by
24:25
seeing one when I first showed it
24:26
earlier this morning
24:28
right
24:29
isn't that interesting how pop culture
24:31
is and how that works
24:34
staircase
25:18
you can really injure yourself
25:20
if you like slip down through this
25:28
really good
25:28
foreign
25:37
back out my room now
25:43

25:43

25:54
City Walk was busy down there earlier it
25:54
