I did not expected that I can visit this entertainment place when I was in the United States of America four years ago. It was a wonderful experience for me seeing the venue of the prominent filmmakers. Out tour to the Universal Studios in Hollywood, California last June 7, 2008 was truly worth it. I truly enjoyed the tour we had in this place.




Universal was founded by Carl Laemmle, a German-Jewish immigrant from Laupheim who settled in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, where he managed a clothing store. On a buying trip in 1905 to Chicago, he was struck by the popularity of nickelodeons. One story has Laemmle watching a box office for hours, counting patrons and calculating the day's take. Within weeks of his Chicago trip, Laemmle gave up dry goods to buy the first of several nickelodeons. more here

It was a nice tour we had in Universal Studios. It is actually called a Studio Tour or The Backlot Tour, an attraction at the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park in the USA.




From 1915 when visitors sat on bleachers for 25 cents, to the 1964 introduction of pink and white GlamorTrams, to the current technological sophistication, the behind-the-scenes view of a working movie studio has been a large attraction. During the early years of the tram tour (1964–1965) all of the attractions at Universal were reached via the tram. The tour originally departed from the front lot comissary. In 1965, the upper lot studio tour center opened.

In 1991, the tram boarding was moved to the lower lot following the construction of the Starway escalator system. In 1996, boarding moved back to the upper lot to make room for Jurassic Park: The Ride.

As the movie studio continues to evolve, the tour evolves alongside it. In late 1989, CD players finally gave the tour guides a chance to rest their voices. In 2000, the CD players were replaced by DVD players and LCD screens, allowing the tour guides to show scenes from movies filmed at the locations the tram passes.

Since 2006, the studio tours bypassed the Collapsing Bridge, due to aging and wearing. However, the bridge has since undergone renovations, and was added back to the tour schedules in August 2008. Since July 2010, the Collapsing Bridge is now used as a representation of the Skull Island city for the new King Kong: 360 3-D attraction. wikipedia.

It's been three years now since we made a trip to Universal Studios in California. I can't forget that because I had a very bad migraine that time. I guess it was because of too much heat in that area. I remember my sister who told me to eat a lot of ice. My migraine got better.

I was there! It is more than three years now since I visited this interesting park in Universal Studios Hollywood, California. The Jurassic Park experience I had especially the Ride was very amusing. It is a water-based amusement ride and I did truly had fun that time.

The ride starts with a raft entering the gates of "Jurassic Park". We encountered many dinosaurs such as Stegosaurus and Ultrasaurus. I feel like I was also in the Jurassic Film while doing that ride. awesome experience!

It is almost three years now since I visited Universal Studios Hollywood in Los Angeles, California. Time truly passes-by so fast. Special thanks to my sister and cousin for touring me here. I truly had a great time. Visiting this place was one of the most memorable travels I had. Just sharing some of the images I took during our visit last June 2008.




EARLY YEARS OF UNIVERSAL STUDIOS

Universal was founded by Carl Laemmle, a German-Jewish immigrant from Laupheim who settled in Oshkosh, Wisconsin, where he managed a clothing store. On a buying trip in 1905 to Chicago, he was struck by the popularity of nickelodeons. One story has Laemmle watching a box office for hours, counting patrons and calculating the day's take. Within weeks of his Chicago trip, Laemmle gave up dry goods to buy the first of several nickelodeons. For Laemmle and other such entrepreneurs, the creation in 1908 of the Edison-backed Motion Picture Trust meant that exhibitors were expected to pay fees for Trust-produced films they showed. Based on Edison's patent for the electric motor used in cameras and projectors, along with other patents, the Trust collected fees on all aspects of movie production and exhibition, and attempted to enforce a monopoly on distribution. It was believed that the productions were meant to be used for another company but the firm turned Universal down. more here

It was more than two years now since I visited Universal Studios Hollywood in Los Angeles, California, USA. It was one of the great times in my life and I am very thankful that I had the chance to visit and see this place.

Thanks to my sister, cousin and family for that wonderful moments being with them. Here are some of the images I took as we toured Universal Studios Hollywood last June 7, 2008.

Dream came true! It happened as we visited Hollywood Universal Studios in Los Angeles, California. It was a great experience visiting the place of the rich and famous especially the so-called Hollywood stars. Here is one of the pictures that my sister took of me during our visit in this place last June 2008.

I would also like to share that during my two months vacation in the United States, I gained more pounds. I forgot to take weight loss products to get rid of those excess weight. Gaining extra weight was the result of our frequent dining-out in Las Vegas plus eating a lot of in fast food restaurants in this city. I guess I have to try taking weight loss supplements this time. You know what's the best in the market? I mean the one which doesn't give any side effects? Happy weekend once again!

I got here more pictures from Universal Studios Hollywood. During our visit to the entertainment capital of Los Angeles, California, we also had a tour in the different studios here. We were able to visit the different settings of the movies like Shark, Sex and the City, The Fast and The Furious and a lot more. I already forgot where exactly I took this picture above. I still have a clear eyes, those are not stainless steel drums but plastic ones. The car you see in the image below was moving so fast as we were toured here. I can't stop smiling as I saw it turning and twirling. It is a model used in the Fast and the Furious movie. That was a very interesting tour we had last June 2008 because our tour guide is very good.

This is one of the best things that happened to me as I visited United States. I had the chance to visit the entertainment capital of Los Angeles, California, the Universal Studios Hollywood. After we visited Disneyland in California for two days, we proceeded to Universal Studios to have a little sightseeing. It was just a day sightseeing trip. Here are of the images I have during our visit.

Anyway my main topic for today is about some blogging tips. If you are still new in blogging, you better decide whether you want your blog to be hosted in a free platform or better buy a domain name for it. If you only blog for fun and to share your ideas, you can have your blog hosted in free platforms. However, I would suggest that if you have a plan to monetize your blog, you better have your own domain. There might be some bloggers who still don't have any idea where to get some tips in buying a domain. You can visit host clear review to look for basic guides on web hosting or any idea on how to pick a web host. Most of all get a web hosting site that offers reliability and good customer service.

Additionally, the Los Angeles metropolitan area is home to nearly 12.9 million residents. Los Angeles is the seat of Los Angeles County, the most populated and one of the most diverse counties[4] in the United States. Its inhabitants are known as "Angelenos" .

Los Angeles was founded September 4, 1781, by Spanish governor Felipe de Neve as El Pueblo de Nuestra Señora la Reina de los Angeles del Río de Porciúncula (The Village of Our Lady, the Queen of the Angels of the river of Porziuncola). It became a part of Mexico in 1821, following its independence from Spain. In 1848, at the end of the Mexican-American War, Los Angeles and California were purchased as part of the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, thereby becoming part of the United States; Mexico retained the territory of Baja California. Los Angeles was incorporated as a municipality on April 4, 1850, five months before California achieved statehood.

The importance of the entertainment business to the city has led many celebrities to call Los Angeles and its surrounding suburbs home. source wikipedia

I was there a year ago! We had a sightseeing at the Universal Studio in Hollywood, California. It's very awesome how they made films in this place. As we toured around we saw a lot of areas where they filmed movies like Fast and Furious, Desperate Housewives, Shark, Jurassic park and a lot more. The photo I had below was also taken there. Sad to say, I can't remember the name of that movie. I will see if I can post an info about it next time..time to slowly sign-off! have a great weekend to all!
