Continuing on the tour of non-Disneyland theme and amusement parks of the 1960s, here are three slides of Universal Studios and the backlot in 1960. Universal Studios is almost one of the forgotten parks as far as collectors go. Not many theme park collectors actively purchase items from this tourist attraction and the other collectors who love the park are the Monster collectors. There was some great souvenirs produced with the famous Universal Monstersb and they had a wonderful stage and photo spot called the Monsters Laboratory. I know I have some snapshots of the Monster Laboratory and I promise to drag them out and show them one day.
The shot of the Roman temple and the advertising for Spartacus is rather nice. I do not think the temple lasted for very long. Also the filming shot on the street scene is rather cool as well. Most tourists when coming to visit Hollywood want to see what Universal offers, the backstage and filming of Movies and TV shows. The addition of rides was welcome, but I feel that the tram ride suffered. I am not sure about the addition of Whoopi as the tour guide to the backstage tour, has anyone ridden that and has an opinion?
