Thanks for watching Jenny! Wow! So you were born the year I filmed this. Did you ever get to ride any of these attractions before? None of them are at Universal anymore other than E.T.. I’m like you, I loved the 90s. That was my High School and College years. So much fun. Thanks for watching.

Great video sir! I remember all of that as a kid, I recently got back from Universal Florida with my family after I was last in the park about 25 yrs ago, and was also there in 96. Had a great time but my only complaint is that it's to much video screens now, I miss the practical effects like Kong, Jaws, Earthquake and Twister. Still a great place. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.

I’m with you Scott. I only go to Universal now for Halloween Horror Nights. I’m not a huge fan of what the park has become. I get that times have changed and these attractions were all based off movies from the 1930s, 1970s and 1980s, but animatronics are better than screens.

Thanks Jeff. It was definitely fun to go back and edit this old footage into a new D Tour. I miss the old Universal Studios. None of those rides are there anymore except for E.T. I have Disney footage from this trip that I’ll be editing into another Retro D Tour. Thank tuned. Thanks for watching bud.

Dude, thank you for the trip down the memory lane. For somebody whom actually moved over here back in 96, worked at UOF in 2003/2004, and got to experience all of the rides to this day.... This has brought a tear to my eyes... I was just telling my wife how the original UOF used to be so much better compared to nowadays. I do believe that my mother still has the recording from those times. Lol!!! PS. We got to take a picture with Gene Simons on our very first HHN in 96. 🤘😎🤘

My family did this trip in 97. We hit Disneyworld, Universal, and Sea World and because I use a wheelchair we got frontlie all the time. Obviously that was before everyone abused it... On another note my favorite was the Terminator Ride.
@DTours
3 ай бұрын
Hey Zachary. Thanks for watching man. I remember Terminator. I don’t think that ride was there during 1996 though. That may have taken over that Hanna Barbara ride which eventually became Shrek 4-D.. That sounds like a great trip you took including Disney and Sea World. I haven’t been to Sea World since like 1986 or so. I have Disney footage from this 1996 trip that I am also going to upload as another Retro D Tour. Thanks for watching!

I have Disney footage from this same trip that I’m editing down now. But I’m ashamed of myself for my EPCOT footage from 1996. I didn’t film any of the fantastic buildings and attractions. I only filmed World Showcase. So mad I didn’t ride or film Horizons, World Of Motion or any other classic rides. I only ride them once back in 1985 or so..

Cool Video Brother , we were there in 94 or 95 , it was pretty neat back then . They even had a Twister ride best that I can recall . You ought to retrace your trip with your I phone equipment that you use now . That would be cool 😎 Catch you later Brother on the next D-TOUR 😀

So the Twister attraction is where Earthquake was. It’s now Fast & The Furious. Such a horrible downgrade. Next time I go to Universal I may retrace my steps like you suggested. I’m just not a fan of the current day Universal. I’m not into Harry Potter. That too over Jaws. The Mummy took over Kong. I do like the Mummy though. Ghostbusters is now Jimmy Fallon Race Through New York. Back To The Future is now The Simpsons. But that’s a good suggestion you had. Thanks for watching.

Rae, great suggestion! This tape was actually in my basement when it flooded 10 years ago but the water level made it up to where my tapes were! I have transferred all the tapes I filmed back in the 90s to my computer for that reason alone. Didn’t want to loose those memories. I have a ton of radio tapes I have from my few years as a radio DJ that I need to transfer next. Thanks for watching.

Don’t take any offense Larry. I don’t always see every comment as I’m replying to comments from my Apple Watch or iPhone while on the run busy at work or something. I miss comments sometime. I have never taken that tram tour that you took at Universal Hollywood. But have seen videos. Seemed cool but the Florida park had complete attractions for each one of the movies instead of just an immersive tour with the tram driving through each movie scene. But still very cool.
