Right now I am contacting many people on trying to gain access to the place.

I am hoping there is some stuff still in there to give to our local museum. But yeah, if you have any questions on the intricacies please ask away!

I used to work at USH in production. I visited the Jurassic Park set many times. The second to last time I visited it I walked around and admired the work that was put into the set as my contract was close to ending. I went back that same week and the whole building had collapsed in itself. In 2019 they tore it all down and cleaned up the entire section. Now it's a picnic area for employees to go and enjoy their lunches. It's a small lake and the push button waterfall runs in the background.

@laylayytofficial 2 года назад

Do you know if anything was inside the building when it collapsed and was taken down? And if you do know, do you know what they did with the things inside? I love the Jurassic Park franchise and it’s sad to hear of it being torn down.

Would love a part 3 stuff like this fascinates me. It is interesting to learn about these sets and why they where left behind.

Really love your videos!! So I've got at least one great movie set for you to explore in part 3! In Port Townsend, WA is Fort Worden where the movie An Officer and a Gentleman was filmed. Many of the sets are still there, maintained by the fort, as well as the room at The Tides Inn that featured prominently in the film. The Inn still has the room, now designated as the Officer and a Gentleman suite. Totally surprising to me, though, is that they filmed the decompression chamber scene in the basement of one of the barracks! And the set was just left standing and is still there. I found that the door to the basement when I was there was unlocked, so I was able to go in and take pictures. I can send them to you along with the pictures I took of other sets used for filming if you'd like. Just let me know!

You could say Gone With The Wind sugarcoated the hell out of slavery, but you can't say it glorified it. I remember the slaves being freed in the movie, & the servants parting with the family on good terms, while one or two stayed behind because they felt like family. I did like the Hobbit movies, but I absolutely agree that it should have been much shorter & not had the shoehorned-in romance filler.
