I guess that's a sign that the WotW sets are here to stay for the longhaul, huh?
Perfect. One for each of the Seven Deadly Sins!
Best way to celebrate the anniversary!

Glamor Trams return to Studio Tour at Universal Studios Hollywood
Universal Studios Hollywood has brought back the Glamor Trams to the Studio Tour as the historic experience is set to celebrate 60 years in 2024. As of now, it seems there is only Glamor Tram in use for the Tour. The iconic Glamor Trams were used when the Studio Tour debuted in 1964, invi

Yeah that’s literally all it is. War of the Worlds was built as a temporary set and was transferred to the tour as a permanent one. They are just refurbing everything so they don’t rot out in front of the guests’ eyes. At the time, they weren’t sure how long those sets would be a part of the tour. Now it’s pretty obvious they are as permanent as Bates (which has also gone through lengthy refurbs and rebuilds over its period as a tour stop.)
Yup--and with the combined redo of the Bates Motel going on now; it guarantees the both of them being safe for the very immediate future.
I still mourn the loss of WHO-ville! I wish they could've relocated it to a different spot.
With the Glamor Trams back... I say we need to get the Runaway Train reactivated, Breaking Bridge & unleash boulders at the tram behind Simpsons!!
While they're redoing the house facades for WOTW, I'd like to request one of them become a "burning facade" for a nice throwback.

Unfortunately the Whoville sets are also meant to be a temporary set, the real problem was Uni taking them out of a controlled soundstage and adding them to the backlot where they’d be at the mercy of the elements (and termites) without adequately proofing them for either. Hindsight is 20/20 and they thought that little segment would last a couple years, little did they know it would be something people would look forward to on the tour, and during Grinchmas.
No no... just gut it & bring back the spinning vortex tunnel of doom! WheeeeeThey could burn the F&F tunnel. That would be a positive.

Hopefully they bring this back soon...
I swear to god if I miss my chance to do this photo op again. Praying this will be permanent.
I can say it wasn't just "sitting on the backlot". That is definitely a new delivery! It better be permanent!!!
Reunite me with my beloved shark!!
Looks like they might. That wasn’t there in 2022/2023 when I was working a show on the lot. Probably brought it out of storage for the 60th. Just my speculation tho; I can’t confirm it.
I remember there was a crazy rumor that when it was removed for Upper Lot renovation (Universal Plaza, Springfield, Potter)... it had been shipped off to Universal Singapore. I've never seen their park have a hanging shark though.
Yeah, they don’t have one there from everything I’ve seen. My guess is it’s been on the lot in storage for years and now—with the walking section of the tour—it could be utilized for the 60th. I haven’t heard anything confirming that, just speculating.
