Universal Studios Hollywood in 2002! 🎬

Recognize this location?

Back in 2002, this was home to Backdraft and the Special Effects Stages on the Lower Lot (Studio Center).

Today, this exact location is home to TRANSFORMERS: The Ride-3D!

It’s amazing how much this part of the park has changed over the years. Two attractions that introduced guests to the magic of movie-making are now part of Universal Studios Hollywood history.
