Yes it was in CA, the original Universal lot, a zillion years ago, and things have changed there a lot since then. When we went, it was not billed as an amusement park, it was simply a tour of the lot and you really did see a lot of stars walking around, movies filming etc.

I think the Jaws set and the King Kong set were the only additions for the tourist trade. King Kong was very weak, not at all as popular as Jaws.

I've always wanted to go to the California Universal. Of course, there's a million things I've wanted to do like that.

King Kong was my favorite ride at the Orlando park. Unfortunately, they got rid of it a few years ago and replaced it with a stupid Mummy roller coaster...*yawn*.

okay.. who has seen 300?

I did..remarkable film.. amazing photography/visuals...

Not sure I will see it again on big screen. Intense is an understatement.

Loved the slow visuals of flowing femininity before the war reality set in..
