Listen Later

Eric Hersey & Jim Hill start off this week’s show by discussing the tram accident that happened this past weekend at Universal Studios Hollywood.

They then take a close look at the perks annual passholders will be able to enjoy at the Universal Orlando parks starting in May.

Over the course of this episode, listeners will learn about:

  • Which Universal horror classic got transformed from a silent film to a sound picture in 1929
  • Why did Universal Studios Florida push back the opening of “Twister … Ride It Out” from March of 1998 to early May of that same year
  • Which store used to occupy the space in Universal CityWalk that’s now being transformed into the Epic Universe preview center
  • Back in 1931, who did Universal Pictures originally announce was going to star in that Studio’s upcoming production of “Frankenstein”
  • Which cartoon character is at the wheel of that popcorn bucket that Universal Hollywood is now selling to commemorate the 60th anniversary of that theme park’s tram tour
