Never clicked a video so fast in my life. We are doing this tour in a few months and I was hoping for a Provost Park Pass review. Thanks so much for always making the best content and always smiling. ❤❤
9:41 Hi Chris! I am a Costumer for TV / Film, so I was thrilled to hear this shout out for costume continuity!! Thank you!! A huge part of my job as a Set Costumer is to keep track of costume continuity for the actors I take care of!! - Andrea from The L.A. Park Hoppers
I always wondered if these types of videos decrease or increase the likelihood of someone going to the parks or taking a tour. After this video, I'm definitely interested in the VIP tour. It wasn't on my radar, but it's now a must.
About 20 years ago I worked on a TV pilot at Universal. During my downtime I walked all around these areas (pre-911, so no one cared). I would often wave to the tour groups as they passed. I recall the New York Street being. all painted super-bright colors for Inspector Gadget movie. A couple days later it was all back to drab colors. A couple days after that, all painted back up again - one whole entire block. They told me they had to come back for more shots so they had to redo the street again. Another day I might see an entire new facade literally bolted onto the existing facade, then gone the next day. It is amazing how quick these craftspeople can redo an entire street or area!
Due to the writers strike, now is probably the best time to do the USH VIP backlot tour because of the lack of filming going on. Usually the Metro and Back to the future sets are off limits to the VIP tour.
We are going on the VIP tour this summer. Don’t know whether to watch this or not. I don’t want to be spoiled. But it was Peter and Kitra’s videos that made us book it in the first place.
Thank you for your insight on this tour now its time to book my trip to Hollywwod for my VIP tour. Also, I really appreciate that kind message at the end. You are the real VIP ☺
We did this VIP tour the same day and didn't get to visit Hill Valley - the 2nd time we've now missed it. Wish Universal could find a way to guarantee VIP tours a way to view the area as this will probably keep us from trying the tour a 3rd time. It was an awesome start to the day to meet Chris though!!
I've never got to go to the prop room for my two VIP tours. I'm glad you had an amazing time Chris, but hope the tours are more the same for all in the future.
51:45 I believe that is Princess Toadstool. The original Princess in the Super Mario Games. I’m not 100% sure it is her though. Also, if I have one day at Universal Hollywood, do you recommend I do the VIP tour or Super Nintendo World early access. The main reason I want to go is for Nintendo: riding Mario Kart as much as I can, eating at Toadstool, playing the interactive games, and exploring the area. I also want to do things like Secret Life of Pets and Jurassic World. Do you think it would be a better idea to do Nintendo early access and then once the park opens, leave Nintendo having done everything except Toadstool (but having a reservation for later in the day) and do everything else in the park with no lines, or do you think it would be better just doing VIP? 52:47, an iconic PPP moment! The Jurassic Park glasses!
Thank you so much for this vlog Chris!! I am seriously interested in doing this VIP tour on my future Universal Studios Hollywood vacation. The benefits sound really incredible, they must offer some really good perks in it. Movies have been a huge part of my life and I've always been interested in how they shot that specific scene. One of my all time favorite movies is E.T. The Extra Terrestrial, it was the first movie I ever watched and I teared up. You are my go to whenever I'm having a hard day
Loved, loved, LOVED seeing your VIP tour!! I’ve always wondered what it was like!! Thank you times a million and thanks for being you and making a difference!! 😃❤️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Great video guys! I’m going in two weeks and confirmed my idea of mail bros and the bracelet! We did buy the fast pass and early access. We going from TX
neat I used to work in the studio section of the park around sound stage 12 and the sound editing dept...with the new remodel my old office that used to hand off the side of 12 nearest the trams down rump is gone and the projection dept with it. they took out the Hitchcock building and others that I did full remodels of the edit stages in just a decade plus back and all that work is gone. millions in remodels all gone.
Thank you for such the awesome insight into the VIP Tour. I hope they open the costume department for filming one day, because the way you describe it has peaked my interest!
Hi Chris -- That Back to the Future area is also where the very first Twilight Zone was filmed, "Where is Everybody?" -- I got that tidbit from an awesome and funny Universal tour guide! :)
Hi. In ordinary adventure video it says the ride in super Mario world is unlimited times. You mentioned you could do it once. Do we know which one is correct?
Chris, my brother was a comedic actor. And his last film before he died, was a film called “Almost Heroes”. His “Daniel boon” type outfit, ha ha didn’t fit well after he was called back to refill a scene, three months after the wrap.😂😂😂😂😂 so funny. The actors same scene costumes need to fit for 3-6 months. Or maybe more. Thank you for this fun video. I’ve been to Paramount Studios and MGM studios. I was with my brother so I didn’t have a tour bus, just va golf cart with his personal assistant. So fun. 👍
I have a feeling I know who your brother was and if I'm right...he was amazing. I think i saw everything he acted in. TV or movie. Thanks for sharing the memory.
@@mikekennedy1570 ha ha isn’t it funny to hear his outfit for a retake scene three months after a wrap, hearing it didn’t fit. It’s so funny but a nightmare for film purposes.😀😀😀😀 Have you seen “Almost heroes”? The scene where he falls in to the water. He was jumping from a plane in middle of the ocean. He did have stunt double but he loved doing his stunts. Like in Black Sheep falling from cabin and rolling down the hill. It’s super funny hearing his outfit didn’t fit.😀😀😀 They had to extend seems.😀😀😀😀
@@BAFarls 😂 only took 3 months. Growth spirt? 😂 I did see the movie and I can't believe he did some of his own stunts! That blows my mind. It must have been a good 3 months between the end and refill 😂 so funny, what an amazing story
@@BAFarls I am going to have to rewatch some of his gems now. Thank you for the laughs today Barbara. Imagining him trying to fit into the outfit has me thinking of "fat guy in a tiny coat" joke 😆 thanks again
What a coincidence u uploaded a Universal Studios Hollywood vid becuz i go to Universal every single year but this year, instead going to USH, im going to DISNEYLAND!!!! Im going there tomorrow (Saturday May 27th) & Disney Adventure next week Monday!!!! I've haven't been to the parks in YEARS!!!! The last time i was there was when i was around 10 years old! (Universal Studios Hollywood is my home away from home tho. I grew up with USH) 😍😊😊😍
Hi I hope you are doing well and that everything is going well for you and that you're having a happy weekend so far if you consider this the start of the weekend and I hope you have a happy spring still 🌱. I also hope you had a good time doing this and I hope you have a good time on your next trip.
Hello, Provost Park Pass. My name is Angel and I'm 21 years old. I want to say that I'm a huge fan of your RUclips Channel and your RUclips videos. I love your videos when you did the vlog from a different theme park in Southern California. Just want to say that in 2023, I went to Mario ride at Universal Studios Hollywood. Biggest fan. Love your RUclips Channel and your RUclips videos.
The last time I was there at Universal Studios Hollywood 24 years ago. In early afternoon we went across the street at Warner Brothers we met Everyone Love Raymond
you should do the warner brothers tour, i did that once when i won the trip to the conjuring premiere, it was an awesome tour. there was one room with a harry potter exhibit or at least it was at the time and they put the sorting hat on me but now i think it's DC movies. i highly recommend that tour
Thanks for this awesome video! My husband, and my 5 year old and I are doing the VIP experience in September. I have a couple of questions. 1. Is there an opportunity during the extended studio backlot tour when you're getting in and off the tram to use the restroom? And 2. Should I/can I bring my stroller for my 5 year old? We'll not only be doing the VIP tour, but staying in the park afterwards to explore more and ride more rides.
hi Chris! Can I enter early in the morning and use the VIP credential to ride mario kart or Harry Potter before the tour starts at 11? and do you have the time to take yourself pictures for example with the simpsons or mario and luigi?
I've done this tour 3 times but never got to spend this much time walking around the backlot. Was this done especially for this tour as you were all vloggers, influencers etc? Would love to have had the same experience that you did.
You can tell Chris is tall in these vids. Not sure how tall, 6'1 or 6'2" ? Am I close lol keep up the vids, we love them and really helps to watch when having rough days, brings a lot of positivity and helps me from losing my faith in humanity sometimes.
Does anyone know, typically, when 2024 tickets will be posted for sale? Right now the app only has through January 2024. I’m trying to get our spring break (end of March) all booked & official. 😊
We have done this tour twice, the first time was years ago and was fantastic. We decided to do it again last October and were very dissapointed. Our guide wasted too much time chasing people who were arriving late and others wandering off. We missed seeing a lot on the tour, then didnt have enough time to do the rest of the rides.
I work for Securitas and we handle universal studios Hollywood and i like Harry Potter and I am a little fan or average fan but I’m a big fan of Fast and Furious because I love cars
Im a bit worried... you mentioned that some of the guests were also content creators. So if I purchase a VIP pass as just an ordinary person, will I het to see and do the same things? Obviously, the studio tour changes all the time as it's a working film studio.
@provostparkpass we're going to California from the UK in April and I'm working really hard to convince Hubby to get the VIP 😂 Thank you so so much for the informative video and your reply. :) Ps.: You made me tear up at the end. You remind me of Blippi. But for adults ❤
I have no idea why they made the ride vehicles so restrictive in Secret Life Of Pets. Kinda feels like a Medieval torture device with how your legs and feet are bound in it..very claustrophobic.
So I was told that when you're in Super Nintendo Land, you don't hit the M pads (or whatever they're called) with the face of your power band. You just hit it with your fist (like Mario) and it'll recognize it. Is that true?
Movie Lovers/ Potterheads/Ride Enthusiasts watch this vlog! As someone who frequents Universal Studios Hollywood, the VIP Experience is worth it for those visiting for just one day - especially when there are huge crowds 🚶♀🚶♂🚶♀🚶♀🚶♂(Loved seeing Ordinary Adventures 💖)
Just came back from doing a vip experience, honestly it’s overrated. Maybe it’s our tour guide. We did the backlot tour in the afternoon and it was hot as hell and felt like we were rushed through it. And the guide didn’t even take us to all the rides.
Never clicked a video so fast in my life. We are doing this tour in a few months and I was hoping for a Provost Park Pass review. Thanks so much for always making the best content and always smiling. ❤❤
Come to provost park pass when you need a dose of happiness ❤. Great video Chris! I loved seeing the ordinary adventurers in this vlog.

They also used that Hill Valley set for Kingston Falls in the Gremlins.
cool and awesome,epic.
Hi. In ordinary adventure video it says the ride in super Mario world is unlimited times. You mentioned you could do it once. Do we know which one is correct?
When I went to US Hollywood they were filming the parade scenes in Jingle All the Way. Universal is just the best.

i like your video😬
If that tour included eating at Toad's instead of the buffet, I'd do it in a minute 🍄
Amazing video Chris!!
Chris! you could make a trip too the DMV FUN!
Great video Chris. So did Miles like the super sour “acid pop” ?
Wow I was just there on Thursday for the first time
Is there a VIP tour at USJ (Universial Studio Japan)?
The last time I was there at Universal Studios Hollywood 24 years ago. In early afternoon we went across the street at Warner Brothers we met Everyone Love Raymond
Anybody know if the Super Nintendo wristbands work for Universal Japan?
I am doing this tomorrow. POG
Oh heck! the week after SDCC im doing the vip tour!!!!
Platinum can also skip lines after 3pm with express pass including Mario and yes you have enough time to enjoy
Way cool I would love to do this 😱👍🏻
I think I spotted Coy Jandreau in your group
I sold a book! Thank you for trying to keep my and all of our hopes up!
Do they give you power up bands for super Mario world with the VIP tour?
you should do the warner brothers tour, i did that once when i won the trip to the conjuring premiere, it was an awesome tour. there was one room with a harry potter exhibit or at least it was at the time and they put the sorting hat on me but now i think it's DC movies. i highly recommend that tour

Yeah I think so as we didn’t do nearly as much walking either.
Great video
ahhh home alone 2 was not filmed there....that set burned down in 2008 all of this is VERY new!
You can tell Chris is tall in these vids. Not sure how tall, 6'1 or 6'2" ? Am I close lol keep up the vids, we love them and really helps to watch when having rough days, brings a lot of positivity and helps me from losing my faith in humanity sometimes.
lol (van huis) nice name hahaha
So I cannot use my video camera to film inside at least Super Nintendo World, during the VIP tour? I needed to film that experience for my channel.
Does anyone know his promo code for getaway today?
if my ticket is for 10:45am, can I go early to the VIP lounge or get the early access to the mairo world?
Hi im finally home from rehab after 27 days ill be catching up with provost park park pass

It probably feels a lot more shakey because the classic tram is a lot heavier, and they don't calibrate the hydraulics for the smaller tour bus
Dad jokes is how eye rolls
