There are other services available at the Hollywood
Ticket Outlet booth as well. These include upgraded
park tickets, visitor information, and foreign currency
exchange. The Hollywood Ticket Outlet is located by
the Blues Brothers stage inside the park, and it is
open during the same days and hours that the park
is open.

Depending on when you visit Universal Studios, and
what is going on at that time, you may be pleasantly
surprised to find some really great deals – or to find
yourself sitting in the audience of your favorite
television show! Talk about sneak previews! Even if
you don’t plan to purchase any tickets, make sure
that you stop by the Universal Studios Tours
Hollywood Outlet booth to see what is being offered
that day.

First, you must be forty-eight inches tall to ride
Revenge of the Mummy. You must be forty six
inches tall to ride Jurassic Park, and you must be
at least forty inches tall to ride Back to the Future.
If you or your child do not meet these height
requirements, you will not be allowed on the ride.
There is a measuring stick that is used in the
queue for each of these attractions.

Don’t make the mistake of thinking that you can get
by if you are just a half inch below the requirements
– you can’t. These height requirements are in place
to ensure your safety, and park staff members are
trained to adhere strictly to these rules. Just a tip –
high heel shoes won’t get you in either. At Universal
Studios, they’ve seen it all!

If you are really interested in the world of movie
making, don’t miss the Universal Studios Tour. The
tour takes about one hour, and you will visit the sets
of many famous movies and television shows. You
will see the stars dressing rooms, and you may even
run into a star or two along the way, or get to see an
outdoors filming session in progress.

The Special Effects Stage, located inside the park,
is another attraction you won’t want to miss. Here,
you will learn how Hollywood creatures are made,
how sound effects are produced, and how visual
affects are designed and implemented. This is an
interactive attraction, and it only takes about thirty
minutes to go all the way through it. Even though it
doesn’t last long, there is a lot of information to be
learned here – quickly! The interaction with the
visitors makes this one of the most popular
attractions at the park.

For the most exclusive and personalized look behind
the scenes, you should definitely consider purchasing
a VIP Studios Pass. This pass costs under $150 for
one person, and it is worth every penny! This will
entitle you to a private tour of Universal Studios, and
you will be allowed in areas that standard tour visitors
won’t see. You will also have the right to move right to
the front of the line for all rides and attractions with the
VIP pass. VIP passes can be purchased online, by
telephone, or at the park – but they are limited to a
certain number of VIP passes that are issued per day,
so get yours as soon as possible.

Universal Studios is more than an amusement park,
it is an interesting and amazing learning experience
that you will never forget – no matter what age you
are. The next time you watch an action movie, you
won’t think ‘how did they do that?’ You will already
have some idea as to how those special effects
were created! You may even get so much out of
your Universal Studios Tour experience that you
think of ways that you could have done it better!

Make your way to the TV Audience Booth inside
the park. Find out what shows are filming on that
particular day, or for other days when you will be at
the park. The tickets are free, but there is limited
availability, and not all shows will be filming
everyday. You can often find out the filming
schedule for shows by calling ahead. With that
schedule, you can plan your trip to coincide with
the filming of your favorite shows.

What better way to spend part of your Universal
Studios Tour vacation? You can see what is going
to happen on your favorite television shows well in
advance. You can even make a game of it! Don’t
tell you friends that you were in the audience, and
place bets as to what is going to happen later in
the series!

Again, make sure that you get to the booth early.
Exclusive seating is limited to a first come, first serve
basis. Only two priority tickets will be made available
for each person, and nobody under the age of sixteen
may attend the show. These tickets go fairly fast, and
once they are gone, they are gone for good.

The Hollywood Ticket Outlet Booth is located inside
the Universal Studios Tours park, near the Blues
Brothers stage. If you get there early enough, you
could be sitting in the studio audience enjoying Jay
Leno’s monolog very shortly! Your friends won’t
believe you, so make sure that you get souvenirs
before leaving Universal Studios, and save your
ticket stub!

The Studio tour is a one hour guided tour. Those on
the tour ride around the studio’s 420 acres on a
tram, and see many stars dressing rooms,
production offices, and often famous Hollywood
stars. Where else can you see a western town and
a New York City street all in the same hour? The
tour includes sets from Back to the Future, Curse
of the Mummy’s Tomb, Jurassic Park III, and The
Grinch. This is more than just your boring tour
with a boring monotone tour guide! As the tour
progresses, tourists encounter many disasters!

Once you’ve finished your tour of the studios, you
can move on to the theme park. All of the rides have
a movie oriented theme, such as Revenge of the
Mummy, Back to the Future, Jurassic Park,
Terminator 2, and Shrek. There is also
entertainment. Waterworld is a theater presentation
which features many stunts and special effects.
Other shows that include terrific stage effects are
Backdraft, Animal Planet Live, and Spider Man
Rocks.

If all of this wasn’t enough, you can also visit the
TV Audience Ticket Booth. Here you will get free
tickets that will allow you to be part of the audience
for television shows that are being taped during your
visit. This is almost like being on TV! When you visit
Universal Studios, you will have several days of fun,
and you probably still won’t see everything that is
offered.

Outside of Universal Studios you will find the
Universal City Walk. This is Universal Studios very
own Downtown. This is three blocks of stores,
clubs, and restaurants for you to enjoy. There are
no cars or motorized traffic allowed in this area, but
there are hundreds, and sometimes thousands of
pedestrians milling about enjoying all of the sights
and sounds.

Universal Studio Tours is a great place to spend
your vacation – or it is perfect as an add on to a
Disneyland Vacation. Even if you don’t have time for
the theme park, the Universal Studios Tour itself is
not to be missed!

Weekends and school holidays should be avoided.
Most of the visitors at these times are local people
who live in the area, and it becomes very crowded,
with very long lines. The park is closed on
Thanksgiving and Christmas, so don’t plan a visit
during those times.

Visit the Universal Studios website to find out which
movies are in production, or which movies will be in
production at the time of your visit. This may play in
the decision as to when to visit. If you visit during
the time of a movie production, you are likely to see
the movie set, and you may even get the opportunity
to see the stars in action!

When you do visit, plan to arrive well before the
gates open. You should arrive at least thirty minutes
in advance. You should buy your tickets in advance
for added convenience. This can be done through a
travel agent, over the phone, or online. Tickets can
even be printed out using your printer.

Universal Studios Tours – The Best Time To Visit is a post from: Travel And Touring | drillandsave.com

Guests in wheelchairs should have no problem
accessing everything in the park, however, occasionally,
some assistance may be required. If this occurs,
staff members will be only too happy to assist. If
special assistance is needed, please visit the
Guest Relations desk, which is near the front
entrance of the park. You can also contact Guest
Relations in advance of your visit. Accessibility
points for wheelchairs are marked with the
International signs.

If you require a sign language interpreting service,
one will be made available to you at Universal
Studios Tours free of charge, with two weeks notice.
Arrangements can also be made for closed
captioning, assistive listening devices, and
telecommunication devices for the deaf. TTY
telephones are located at the Guest Services booth
as well, and all pay phones throughout the park
have the amplified feature.

Service animals are always welcome at Universal
Studios, and will be allowed in the restaurants, gift
shops, and the attraction queues. For the safety
and well-being of the animal, service animals will not
be allowed on some of the rides or inside some of
the attractions. Special arrangements can be made
for the service animal while it’s owner enjoys the
attractions, however. Non-service animals must be
placed in the complimentary kennel, located right
outside the park gates.

Pregnant women should avoid The Studio Tour, Back
to the Future, and Jurassic Park. These are not
suitable for expectant mothers, and may cause
complications in the pregnancy, including early labor.
Furthermore, pregnant women will be given special
stationary seating for the Shrek 4-D attraction and the
Terminator 2: 3D attraction. Speak with a cast member
for assistance. You should speak with your doctor
before planning a trip to Universal Studios Tours –
he or she may advise against such a trip.

Spanish language tours are available every day that
the park is open, and tours for other languages can
be arranged with advance notice. Again, Universal
Studios Tours wants everyone to have a pleasant
experience at the park, and they will do everything
possible to ensure this. If you have a special need,
please call and speak with a cast member at the
Guest Services Center, or visit the center upon
your arrival to the park.

There are no attractions that are suitable for babies
or toddlers at Universal Studios. Most babies and
toddlers will not be interested in the Universal
Studios Tour. Furthermore, getting a stroller around
the upper and lower lots is almost impossible.
Universal Studios is a great place to have some fun
– unless you are a baby, a toddler, or a parent of a
baby or toddler.

If you will be taking your vacation with a toddler or a
baby, you may be better off saving the Universal
Studios Tour for another vacation – a few years down
the road. There is no charge for admission for babies
and toddlers at Universal Studios, but there usually
isn’t if the person cannot enjoy the attractions at the
park! Remember – the baby or toddler isn’t the only
one who won’t be having any fun.
