Universal Studios CityWalk

Recorded June 22, 1998.

Universal CityWalk is the name given to the entertainment and retail districts located adjacent to the theme parks of Universal Parks & Resorts. Originating as an expansion of Universal's first park, Universal Studios Hollywood, CityWalk serves as an entrance plaza from the parking lots to the theme parks.

The Universal CityWalk Hollywood opened in May 1993 adjacent to the isolated Cineplex Odeon cinema. A $1 billion, 93,000 sq ft expansion opened in 2000. CityWalk's central plaza is topped by a large steel-web canopy with a leaping fountain below, created by WET. A huge television monitor brought in by Panasonic, is located above the multiplex, showing upcoming Universal movie releases, music videos, and NBC Universal promotions stands next to the giant guitar towering over the Hard Rock Cafe. Street performers (mimes, magicians, musicians) are a common sight. At Christmas time, there's even a parade, carolers, and an outdoor ice skating rink near the theaters.

This video is of my visit in June of 1998.

Whenever I go there with my friends we follow people till they exit and cough loudly in back of them and speak in british accents and sometimes repeat "I wonder why the sun rises in the east" "yea and y it sets in the west?"
