Travel Reference
In-Depth Information
Jimmy Fallon became the tour's prerecorded host. (We dare you to get Fallon's “Tram-
Tastic” tune out of your head.)
The great thing about the Studio Tour is that you see everything without leaving the
tram—essentially experiencing four or five major attractions with only one wait.
TOURING TIPS
Though the wait to board might appear long, do not be discouraged. Each

We recommend taking the tram tour after experiencing the other rides.
Including your wait to board and the duration of the tour, you will easily invest an
hour or more at this attraction. Remember to take a restroom break before queuing up.
Though the ride as a whole is gentle, some segments may induce vertigo or motion sick-
ness—especially The Curse of the Mummy's Tomb, inspired by
The Mummy
and adap-
ted from the old avalanche-effect section of the tour. Finally, be aware that several of the
scenes may frighten small children.

DESCRIPTION AND COMMENTS
Universal's Animal Actors
features various critters, in-
cluding some rescued from shelters, demonstrating behaviors that animals often perform
in the making of motion pictures. The live presentation is punctuated by clips from films
and TV shows. Of course, the animals often exhibit an independence that frustrates their
trainers while delighting the audience.
TOURING TIPS
Presented five or more times daily, the program's schedule is in the daily en-
tertainment guide. Go when it's convenient for you; queue about 20 minutes before show-
time.
