Universal Studios Hollywood Studio Tour The Preview Center With David Hasselhoff
7This is the audio from a video that was played for Universal Studios (Tour) Hollywood park guests from around 1980 +/- to 1989. "The Preview Center" was located literally across the street from which is now The Transformers Ride in the Studio Center of the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park in Universal City, California.
David Hasselhoff was the host of this video and gave a preview to the park guests of what they might encounter on the Universal Tour (now Studio Tour). For it's time, this was a very memorable piece as every park guest was required to view it.
Enjoy this audible walk down memory lane.
ABOUT
The Studio Tour (also known as The Backlot Tour) is a ride attraction at the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park in Universal City, California near Los Angeles.
The Tour is the signature attraction at the park, and goes into a working film studio, with various film sets on the Universal Studios Lot. In recent years, guests have sat in multi-car trams for the duration of the ride. The Tour lasts about 45–60 minutes and is led by a live tour guide who can be seen throughout the tram on video screens. It travels through the Front Lot, Backlot and various attractions, passing sets and props from movies along the way.
The tour inspired a smaller but similar version at Universal Studios Florida, which was removed in 1995.
