The iconic theme park is honoring the anniversary in style.
This year marks the 60th anniversary of the iconic Universal Studios Hollywood, and while the attraction has found ways to embrace all-new properties and franchises with its experiences, the park will also be honoring its past with a variety of unique celebrations. Many of the experiences will allow guests to feel like they are stepping into the past, while other opportunities will find ways for contemporary attractions to pay tribute to the legacy of the studio and the park itself.
"In addition to the return of several iconic red and white candy-striped Glamor Trams, the centerpiece of the Studio Tour 60th-anniversary celebration will treat guests to the unique opportunity to step off the tram and onto a legendary movie set where an original, fully restored 1964 vintage Glamor Tram awaits. The area will provide additional memorable photo opportunities and social media posts, including a giant King Kong backdrop and the theme park's original hanging Jaws shark.
"Universal Studios Hollywood will also be digging into its archive of prehistoric props with a behemoth dimensional Tyrannosaurus rex dinosaur display used in the promotion of Universal Pictures' Jurassic World movie. This giant, growling creature, bearing a large bite of sharp teeth, will be located adjacent to a locked paddock of wild dinosaurs that can be heard screeching and clamoring to escape.
"We are thrilled to share in this 60-year milestone with Universal Studios Hollywood and its behind-the-scenes magic, which definitely strikes a chord with the hopes and dreams the Hollywood Sign brings to its fans,"Jeff Zarrinnam, Chair of the Hollywood Sign Trust, added."And for people to have this vibrant way to experience the Sign, including capturing selfies and photos, with such an iconic leader in the industry is a true celebration.
