Oh wow! I didn't knew you were there that year. ^_^ Have you also videotaped the Halloween Horror Nights events somewhere in 1993, 1994, or 1995? Currently, no one has uploaded home videos of these.
Y'all won't believe how much I would've really love to experience universal studios in the 90s My first time going there was back in 2008, & I had a great time going there. But man, I can imagine how much I would've love going there in the 90s. I would've enjoyed the Rides/attractions that I never got to experience like kong, back to the future, hanna-barbara, nick studios & Ghostbusters spooktactular Just everything in general was/looked so much fun back then But I'm very happy to see what they were & how much fun they were
I never went in the 90’s but had went in the 2000’s onward. It’s definitely changed for sure but man old school Universal was a nostalgic back in time trip for sure. Jaws, Earthquake/Disaster, BTTF, T2, Twister and Shrek 4D are great fond memories Dillon (Love the old school videos btw)
I was there in the summer of 1993 with my family on vacation!! This makes me want to go to my mom’s house & look at the pictures! It’s possible that it seems so great b/c it’s from my perspective as an 11 year old, but nothing compares to what the park was like then. Kong was the best ride ever…probably even to this day (for me). The last time I rode it was in 2001 at 19 yrs old & even then it honestly felt like you were in a Kong movie. No other ride has ever felt like that for me. Earthquake, Jaws, Back to the Future were so amazing. Walking down the st in Hollywood was the most amazing thing for me because I had a thing for old Hollywood when I was a kid so it truly felt magical. And Lucille was my idol back then so when I first went into the Lucy tribute as a kid it was my happy place for sure! Wow…I’d actually forgotten about that part until watching this video. What an awesome nostalgic feeling! I’m glad I got married & had kids young because I was able to take my boys there twice before Jaws & Back to the Future were gone. They also got to experience Jimmy Neutron & Twister. I still remember they were only 3 & 5 when they rode Jaws for the first time…they were fascinated & horrified at the same time! I really wish they could’ve experienced the old Kong because I know they would’ve absolutely loved it! We went back in 2021 when my oldest graduated high school & while we had fun it definitely didn’t feel quite the same. It was the first time we’d been since 2011. I truly hope they never get rid of ET because I feel that if it ever goes away, the park will never be the same.
I got memories. I worked in the Costume Department, building/repairing Fred, Woody and the rest. I carry on my forearm a 1st degree burn from a heat gun during a (clumsy) repair. If other departments were tied up, we were sometimes tasked with fixing or temp fixing other things around the park, like the trampoline in Fievel's Playland (two words... zip ties). Afterwards, we of course had to test it, not for our own personal entertainment but for the "children's safety" (wink). Costuming would also build/supply the rocks used in Earthquake, the ones that would drop onto the tourists in the preshow. They were made from blocks of sofa foam, shaped into concrete rubble with an electric bread cutter and then spray painted red, brown-ish, gray-ish. The department was not too big in those days, a little cramped. You had to be aware of your surroundings or you'd end up walking in on a performer in the middle of getting dressed because they didn't always stick to their dressing area ( and yeah, I did that....twice! embarrassing) To this day I still remember how to build those characters/props, but after all the chemicals and cuts, I just stick to 3d animation now. So like my Horizons "Easy Living" loop you saw, I made an animated 90s Universal music loop with that classic Universal globe and soundtrack. I get to relive the days of that beautiful spinning globe, without being exposed to gallons of acetone! 😆. Great upload, thanks.
ridetrackx, WOW! so many memories and I loved hearing all these, so cool that you used to make the rocks for the Earthquake ride, I remember the pre-show very well where the guests did the shopping mall scene and the rocks would come crashing down on them, Great times . . . thank you so much for your memories 👏 & Yes Ive seen your animated 90's Universal Studios loop of the globe , its pretty fantastic, excellent work, I will put a link here for people to check it out ruclips.net/video/5mTnbl-oQQ8/видео.html
I miss the Universal of the 90s and 2000s! They should of left Universal Studios as a classic studio park, while Island Of Adventure and Epic could of been thrill parks!😮
Nice. You would run into Nick hosts/crew in the park all the time in those days. I'd usually see them just visiting the park with family. I remember walking by the Nick Arcade guy pushing a baby stroller and talking to his wife about the new shows coming to the network.
Fievel Looked so Creepy back then. He Looks so Much Better Nowadays. I Just Wish Universal Studios Florida can still give us a Chance to meet Fievel Mousekewitz since I Adore An American Tail (1986)
Ive got no idea why its there, Looking into it the new home opened in 1992, so maybe they were doing work on it & used the Animal Actors stage as a temp?
Hey Dean, Ive got no idea why the show was on the Animal Actors stage, Looking into it the new home opened in 1992, so maybe they were doing work on it & used the Animal Actors stage as a temp?
Have you got any memories from Universal Studios Florida around this time, 1993? If so, let me know in the comments

I really liked the Rear Window part of the Alfred Hitchcock attraction
@@Dylan-Hooton sorry no Dylan, this year we visited pretty early on in the year so the HHN’s we not running
@@lisa-gu9ft yes that was a great part of the attraction, I remember looking through the binoculars that were supplied 👍
@@DisneyDave :(

(Love the old school videos btw)
I loved it back then, really classic, this would have stood the test of time now, so nostalgic
Zara, Thanks for watching and commenting

IMO it hasn't been the same since BTTF moved out. Now that Disney owns The Simpson's the Simpson's Ride should move to WDW
This was the year I first visited Universal. It still stands as my favorite vacation of all time. Thanks for the video so I can relive the memories
Your welcome Tyler, This was also my first year visiting and was the absolute best!
That was wonderful!! So many great memories. That was my favorite times at Universal. Thank you.
This is so cool to see as someone who didn't go to Universal until 2010!
ParkTwister, Thanks for watching

@@DisneyDave Happy to share the memories and thanks for dropping the link, very gracious!
@@ridetrackx your welcome 🫶
Me being at the parks a couple of days ago and seeing this video, 😮wow a lot has changed.
It certainly has changed a lot from the early 90's
21:31 The woman with the pink shirt is Moria Mo Quirk, she was the referee on the show GUTS that aired on Nickelodeon in 1992. that's pretty cool.
Hey Johan, thanks for the heads up, I didn't know this
Oh my gosh!
6:53 I ride Back to the Future The Ride with my Dad back in November 2001 (and we ride it twice)
It’s was the best the BTTF the ride & so much better than the Simpsons version, great to hear you experienced this one with your Dad in 2001 👍
I did the same August 1997
I miss the Universal of the 90s and 2000s! They should of left Universal Studios as a classic studio park, while Island Of Adventure and Epic could of been thrill parks!😮
I agree
That is The Universal I grew up with. I miss Florida being a hub for TV and film production.
Love the early days of USF.
Dennis, the early days at USF were EPIC
Me too
I’m glad to have found your channel, I just love Universal Florida and wish to have seen it in its prime
Early 90's Universal Studios Florida was just out of this world and so good, sorry to hear you didn't get to experience it 😔
@@DisneyDave eh it’s ok, wish to have a Time Machine though
@@hollywoodkid1342 Now your talking! I'm a huge time-travel fan & a Time-Machine is my ultimate want 😊
I want one too.
So am I I would k*** for a time machine
The woman hosting the sound affects presentation was the announcer on the show GUTS!
Nice. You would run into Nick hosts/crew in the park all the time in those days. I'd usually see them just visiting the park with family. I remember walking by the Nick Arcade guy pushing a baby stroller and talking to his wife about the new shows coming to the network.
That's great to know, I didn't know this, someone else has commented saying her name is Moira Quirk
She was actually the referee
But this will not be the same without Fievel’s Playland and Fievel’s waterslide at all. 😢😭😭😭😭😭😭 15:25 & 44:26
Fievel Looked so Creepy back then. He Looks so Much Better Nowadays. I Just Wish Universal Studios Florida can still give us a Chance to meet Fievel Mousekewitz since I Adore An American Tail (1986)
It would be great to see him in the Park again, An American Trail is a classic animated film
@@DisneyDave A Beloved Classic Animated Film
I had no idea they ever filmed Beetlejuice at the Animal Actors stage.
Ive got no idea why its there, Looking into it the new home opened in 1992, so maybe they were doing work on it & used the Animal Actors stage as a temp?
@@DisneyDave That would be my best guess. The original area was outside so they probably were building the theater/roof.
Wonder why the graveyard review was on the animal actors stage
Hey Dean, Ive got no idea why the show was on the Animal Actors stage, Looking into it the new home opened in 1992, so maybe they were doing work on it & used the Animal Actors stage as a temp?
Wow thats interesting I wonder what happened to the back end of the Jules Verne train from BTTF? Never seen that piece in the 20 years iv been goin.
Now that is interesting, I wonder where it is now . . . Maybe someone reading these comments can help?
Sad that the train and the delorean are still there but the ride is not
😮
My first trip was in 1994. Shit hasn't been 30 years lol.
