In 1914, German American immigrant Carl Laemmle purchased the Taylor Ranch in the San Fernando Valley and established Universal City as an expansive studio complex. This complex featured a zoo, a police force, a mayor, and even Native Americans living on-site. On March 14, 1915, Laemmle officially opened Universal Studios with a grand two-day event attended by 10,000 people. He later invited the public to observe the filmmaking process for an admission fee of just five cents, which included a boxed chicken lunch. Visitors could also buy fresh produce, as Universal City still partially operated as a working farm. This original tour was discontinued around 1930 due to the advent of sound films, which required better soundproofing than the stages could provide.
Universal Studios Hollywood, located in the San Fernando Valley area of Los Angeles County, California, is both a film studio and a theme park. Approximately 70% of the studio is situated within the unincorporated county area known as Universal City, with the remainder within Los Angeles city limits. It is one of the oldest and most renowned Hollywood film studios still in operation. Its official marketing slogan is "The Entertainment Capital of LA." Initially, Universal Studios was created to offer tours of its real film sets and has since grown into the first of many Universal Studios theme park resorts worldwide.
The Studio Tour, or The Backlot Tour, is a ride attraction at the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park in Universal City, California, near Los Angeles. The theme park's signature attraction is traveling through a working film studio with various film sets on the Universal Studios Lot. Guests sit on multi-car trams for the ride, which lasts about 45-60 minutes, and get a behind-the-scenes look at Universal Pictures. The tour is led by an in-person "tram guide" in the first car, aided by pre-recorded videos of Jimmy Fallon. It travels through the Front Lot, Backlot, and various attractions, passing sets and properties from movies along the way.
The Studio Tour has been a central feature of the park since 1915 when guests would sit in bleachers for 25 cents. In 1964, pink and white Glamor Trams were introduced, making the tram tour the primary way to see all the attractions at Universal. Initially, the tram departed from the Front Lot Commissary, but in 1965, the Upper Lot Studio Tour Center opened. Over the years, the tram has departed from both the Lower and Upper Lots, but since Jurassic Park's opening, boarding and disembarking have taken place on the Upper Lot.
