Universal Studios has offered tours since its beginnings. On March 14, 1915 Carl Laemmle who was a German immigrant and a former bookkeeper invited the public to tour his studios, cheer their favorite actors and have a boxed lunch; all of this for a mere 25 cents. Today, it costs a whole lot more and no boxed lunch. Sigh!

Here is Part Two of our adventures at Universal Studios. They've got an amazing special effects show - there were a number of times they did a great job of incorporating volunteers from the audience into their demonstrations, like having someone dress in an astronaut outfit to show how they simulate space walking in movies. But they did not use a volunteer to demonstrate the fire walking; that was a highly trained professional and boy, is it scary to watch live!
