Universal Studios Hollywood is gearing up to celebrate 60 years of its Studio Tour with new and returning experiences for guests to enjoy, the park announced Tuesday.
In 1964, Universal Studios invited guests to board red and white Glamor Trams as they took a two-hour journey to see moviemaking magic behind the scenes. In celebration of the Studio Tour’s 60th anniversary, Universal is bringing back the Glamor Tram design for its Studio Tour trams.
Guests will also be able to stop mid-tour to experience photo ops which celebrate the lot’s history.
