Built alongside legendary Hollywood film studios, Universal Studios is a theme park with attractions and animations based on legendary films that have marked several generations of moviegoers (Spider-Man, Back to the Future, King Kong…). Universal Studios Hollywood is also working to restore the atmosphere of American series that have become cults all over the world, such as the Simpsons or The Walking Dead.
The Universal Studios Hollywood recreation complex was created in 1964 to set the scene for films made in the United States to the public. At that time, visitors can attend scenes shot in real situations. A few years later, the American professional union of actors and extras (SAG-AFTRA) opposed this idea and established a rule aimed at prohibiting access to most studios. At the same time, Universal chiefs are developing the first attractions for families with children, starting with a zoo. Then the philosophy of the park resolutely turns to shows, rides and new experiences in connection with films already broadcast in theatres. The concept is born and a leisure industry is developing around the Universal Parks & Resorts brand. Other Universal Studios parks are emerging in Orlando (Universal Studios Florida in 1990), Japan (Universal Studios Japan in 2001) and Singapore (Universal Studios Singapore in 2010).
A real invitation to discover the film sets and the backstage of the largest productions in the United States, this lair of Hollywood cinema will reveal to you how certain tricks, special effects and film sets are produced. Just recently, and as Universal Studios Florida had done before him, this Californian park offers a special immersion in the world of Harry Potter films. Universal Studios Hollywood, with its multiple rides, shows or attractions in 3D and 4D, constitutes the essential stage of any stay in Los Angeles. Still used as a film production studio by Universal Pictures, it remains the oldest American film studio still active in the United States. Almost 25 years after its inaugural opening, the emblematic attraction of Jurassic World – The Ride offers a new youth. She leads her visitors on a dangerous cruise to meet the dinosaurs in a completely redesigned scenography in 2019. Among the other novelties of the park, it is possible to cite The Secret Life of Pets: Off the Leash! inspired by animated films produced in 2016 and 2019 as well as the night show Dark Arts at Hogwarts Castle in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter.
