Went to the park Monday and did the studio tour for the first time in a year or two. Went through all of the metro sets and even little Europe. Does the tour still go through Wisteria Lane? Haven’t done that in a very long time. Tour guide said they were setting up to film there though. Might be why we missed it.
The new picture car lot that replaced Whoville was very meh and hastily made. Having Kong and Fast and Furious be virtually the same attraction isn’t ideal. I do think the tour would benefit from axing one of those attractions. Maybe it’s just my nostalgia, but I did prefer the days of variety in the backlot tour attractions (parting the sea, collapsing bridge etc.) but overall still very fun, also great that they dropped all the FF interruptions throughout the tour. Way better without them.
I agree, mainly would not mind if FF was in the ride if it was practical effects but as is now just a 3D show.Went to the park Monday and did the studio tour for the first time in a year or two.

Just my opinion, but the tram will be axed anyways in the future. Again, just an opinion.
Really? I’m not sure we’ll see the tram leave anytime soon. It’s Hollywood’s main draw. Maybe as filming becomes more on site or CG? Way down the line thoughI agree, mainly would not mind if FF was in the ride if it was practical effects but as is now just a 3D show.
Wisteria Lane is not always used and I believe they use the excuse of filming going on. You really can't see down the street due to the curve to see if anything is going on.
I agree that F&F and Kong are the same, yet I like Kong better.
I would like to see the F&F become a part of the park.

The only thing with making the tour a smaller, upcharge attraction, you'd be losing a high-capacity attraction with nothing to replace it with.

You would lose the one aging attraction in favor of MULTIPLE new lands and rides! Possibly even a 2nd gate. There's so much potential here as the tram is nothing special anymore.The only thing with making the tour a smaller, upcharge attraction, you'd be losing a high-capacity attraction with nothing to replace it with.
I've been on the mindset that if anything is happening to the Studio Tour in the near future; it'd be a change-up to have it be oriented into a Warner Bros. Studio Tour like experience. Something that focuses rather than to stimulate the feeling of "Films being simulated" to a grander version of the VIP experience's Studio Tour. Something that has active museums that rotate props, costumes, and picture cars; to match that of NBCUniversal products being developed.
Continue going through the backlot and front lot, by personalized trolleys, that can specifically tailor for per group tastes and preferences; while saving spending costs from simulated sequences (perhaps with the exclusion being Kong 360, as I could see them toying around and redoing that).
I think the Studio Tour has value for USH. But not as part of the current lineup.
The tram is an easy attraction to "fix." It is a bus ride. Change some of the scenery that the guests see. People act like it is a dated Fantasyland attraction. It is not, it is the highlight of the park for most people.
In the morning the longest wait was 15min.I'm overdue for a trip back to the park. Hopefully it will still be like this when I go next week.
