Universal City tourist information
Universal Studios was established at this location in 1915 by Carl Laemmle. Following an acquisition by MCA (Music Corporation of America), staff accountants suggested that a studio bus tour of the massive backlot and a stop at the commissary would boost profits. The famous backlot tram ride at the park today is a direct descendant.
In 1964, the humble tour was expanded to include staged events that are similar to the Wild West stunt show which closed in 2000. In the 1980s a large scale, motion picture themed amusement park evolved to accompany the tour.
In the 1990s, the extremely innovative City Walk was unveiled, an entertainment/shopping center that redefined the concept of an urban mall.
