www.themeparkinsider.com: Universal Studios founder Carl Laemmle opened his 230-acre Universal City ranch on March 15, 1915, offering visitors the chance to walk around his outdoor movie studio, located just north of Los Angeles, and to watch the filming. Admission was just 25 cents, with a chicken boxed lunch available for just a nickel extra. The original Universal Studio Tour provided a nice little side income for the movie studio until the studios began adding sound to their movies, and Laemmle had to close the studio to the not-very-quiet public, to provide a soundproof environment for filming.

It is so cool to see almost 100 years of the theme park’s history! Even though a small 50 year bump to it’s second grand opening, the tours and attractions have succeeded in boosting the thriving company through entertainment. The park is a unique experience that has entertained audience members since the beginning, and the classic Jaws attraction and tram rides are parts of it that I’m happy to see the park keeping in!
