[edit] Water World Actors
who are the actors in water world the play thing because they were really good
- The actors change periodically, so you'd just have to go there and see the list of actors they have to see who it was for the current day. That information doesn't even belong on this page and belongs to the respective Water World attraction page.--71.103.17.249 (talk) 17:18, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Climbing the Uniglobe
Tre Cool was the only one? With so many other slightly crazy people visiting there each year, he was the only one?
The Kenan and Kel opening credits inside the UniGlobe should have been and Universal Studios Orlando instead of Universal Studios Hollywood (keeping in mind Kenan and Kel was recorded at Nickelodeon Studios Orlando at Universal Studios Florida). Please check this reference.
- Larger question: is this really noteworthy enough for an encyclopedic entry? At least it needs to be revised to discuss the Uniglobe itself. For instance, it should talk about what it was based on (Universal's logos), when it was constructed, and then something like this ...
- "Over the years, the Uniglobe has been a prime target for over-exuberant guests to climb. One noteworthy climber was Tre Cool, drummer for the band Green Day, who did so during the MTV Video Music Awards."
- For that matter, the climber's sexual orientation is not germane to the subject, regardless of how germane the subject is to the overall article.

[edit] Status of Earthquake On the Studio Tour.
Ok, I have been noticing in recent videos that The Earthquake attraction on the Studio tour has changed its look. Can anyone Confirm this?

==Links
On the main article page, there are links from The Studio Tour to the Florida versions of the Kong ride and the Jaws ride etc. Should these links be removed, as the Florida versions are much more indepth (and different) to the snippets we see in the California Tram Tour TimothyJacobson 19:21, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] June 1st 2008 Fire
The fire on June 1st is reported to have destroyed Courthouse Square. However Footage from the SkyFox KTTV-LA Fox 11's Helicopter Show the actual Clock Tower Structure to be intact, With the buildings across the street to the south, and west of it destroyed.--Subman758 (talk) 17:37, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
The section on the June 1st, 2008 Fire on the back lot belongs in this article, as it happened at this location. Universal Stuidos is an entity, not a sigular location as Universal Studios Hollywood is.--Subman758 (talk) 07:37, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Previous fire (early/mid-1990's, I think)
Speaking of fires, I seem to recall another major fire there about, well, I don't remember exactly, but I think it was about 15 years ago, give or take. Maybe somebody can add some information about that one? (I know the article mentions that seven fires have erupted at the studio since 1932, but I think the one I'm talking about is worth an individual mention because it was [relatively] recent, and pretty big, receiving considerable media attention at the time. And perhaps also newsworthy in light of the current [June 2008] fire.) 24.6.66.193 (talk) 22:26, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Courthouse Square Vs. Courthouse
The actual Courthouse from the Courthouse Square Survived the fire. You can see it from the aerial shots, of the News Helicopters. --Subman758 (talk) 01:45, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
Aerial News footage shows the Courthouse of Courthouse Square survived the fire. When looking for it in video footage remember that the Clock Tower part is not attached to it, as the show Ghost Whisperers does not use that part of it. But you can see the lawn in front of it. --Subman758 (talk) 16:09, 2 June 2008 (UTC)
