Staged Events Section
[edit]Serious copyediting is needed here. The tone is unencyclopedic, incorrect and inconsistent tenses and points of view are used, much of the information is incorrect or misleading, and there are several "trivia" items which should probably be incorporated into the text or deleted. I editing a small portion of it, but a LOT more work is needed --76.118.140.192 (talk) 04:59, 1 June 2010 (UTC)
Flatiron Building
[edit]Is one of the buildings in the "neighborhood made to look like New York city" the Flatiron Building, as a demonstration of forced perspective (a flat surface with the image of the building painted on when viewed at a certain angle)? I'm pretty sure it is, but I googled and found zilch, so I'm looking for a picture or source. TransUtopian 13:55, 12 July 2006 (UTC)
Parting of the red sea ignored
[edit]I was on this tour inside the last week or two, and there was one segment where a path was cleared through a lake and the tram went below the water, eye-level with a mock-up of Skull Island and the boat, from King Kong. I'm guessing this used to be the "parting of the red sea" that this article mentions - it's no longer ignored, but I don't want to rejig that bit of the article because I can't name somthing -else- that got ignored.

Fair use rationale for Image:AmityIsland.net.gif
[edit]![](http://up.wiki.x.io/wikipedia/en/thumb/f/f7/Nuvola_apps_important.svg/70px-Nuvola_apps_important.svg.png)
Image:AmityIsland.net.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Secret room
[edit]in one building we pass buy we see a tunnel that goes right through the building. In the tunnel on the sides of the wall are metal gates. I remember something like this. Anyone know more. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.107.156.98 (talk) 03:52, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
The Mummy's tomb
[edit]On a ride on the studio tour in 2008, we did not go through the mummy's tomb. Is it Gone or something? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.107.163.156 (talk) 00:08, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
King Kong
[edit]Correct me if Im wrong, but during the month of december dont they dress up King Kong in a santa costume? And the tour guide says its his new makeover? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.107.163.156 (talk) 22:19, 6 March 2008 (UTC)
Psycho Sets
[edit]According to one news article I read (I'll post as soon as I remember the url) nthe Psycho Sets visited on the tour were also destroyed by the fire. Does anyone know more information on the subject?--71.180.128.16 (talk) 02:13, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
The psycho sets section is under staged events, but should be under the Sets section.--Snowman Guy (talk) 15:36, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
I was just there today, the psycho exteriors were not destroyed. 76.166.204.89 (talk) 02:37, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Revolving Tunnel
[edit]I recently read in a souvenir book from USH taht the revolving tunnel was originally themed to an Avalanche. (It is now themed to the Mummy, I believe). Should this be added under Former events? --Snowman Guy (talk) 21:35, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
Crumbling bridge part is weirdly written
[edit]It says it looks like the bridge is closed permanently, then says it was reopened. This needs to be rewritten to say it was closed for a time, or whatever. 76.166.204.89 (talk) 02:36, 3 December 2008 (UTC)
Battle Of Galactica
[edit]I went there in 1987. I remember the year because the earthquake set was under construction. All that was left of the Battle of Galactica were the two Cylons in the fake tank outside the building. I don't recall what was in the building. 66.232.94.33 (talk) 10:25, 9 October 2011 (UTC)
New entrance
[edit]I heard that the Studio Tour attraction has gotten a new entrance. Someone who is associated with this article needs to replace the photo on the infobox with the latest archway.
Thanks! -anex407

Article feels promotional
[edit]This article reads like a promotional pamphlet for the tour, not like an encyclopedic entry. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:18D:87E:10E0:B46A:B954:1C55:3129 (talk) 03:13, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
"Billboard signature"?
[edit]What does this mean?:
- He also performs an original song at the end of the tour, thanking riders for visiting. The song was temporarily removed in 2016 and now becomes a billboard signature.
I didn't presume to edit it.– AndyFielding (talk) 12:31, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
