Universal Studios
a collection of famous movie vehicles
June 7, 2006

Through the Los Angeles haze, we head for Hollywood...

...and Universal Studios.


In this valley, there's an entire city of....house facades.

Indoor studios

Looks quite real, eh?




Jurassic Park


Suddenly, it starts raining, and the place is flooded....

Are we in rural Mexico?

Or in the wild west?

I guess it's all façades...


A house from "Desperate Housewives"

The Grinch who stole Christmas

as seen in "Psycho"

Airplane crash scene from "War of the Worlds"


(What happens when it rains here?)




A blue backdrop makes you realize how gray the sky is here...

King Kong

Alright, where to next?

We find ourselves in a dark chemical plant...

...that suddenly explodes!

And I thought *I* had big feet.

Running up these stairs....is hard.

Waterworld

action packed show on water




incoming airplane


You're in trouble now.



Eventually, the whole thing is on fire...

Are you scared?

finding ourselves in downtown London


or in Paris, for matter

As the day reaches an end, we head down to the Santa Monica pier.

fine Mexican dining

...and a stroll along the amusement park.


testing the water

A bit cold, but not bad.

G'night.
