The latest version of the New York Street sets opened in December 2009, following the huge fire in June 2008. The New York Street area has been used in countless productions over the years. It’s been rebuilt after fires in 1957, 1990 and 2008, and frequently changes appearance as required by the production work at the time. The street is curved at both ends to give the illusion of a longer street on camera. The new structures comply with a new building code specifically for backlot structures, meaning they have sprinklers and other fire-protection and life safety measures built in. Between 1984 and 1990 the whole New York Street area had a large rig above it which could be used to cover the sets with black tarpaulins in order to do night shooting during the day. ____________________________________________________ #UniversalParksAndResorts #TramDriver #StudioGuide #UniversalStudiosHollywood #UniversalStudios #UniversalLot #UniversalBacklot #StudioTour #TramTour #BacklotTour #NewYork...
