In 1991 I went to MGM Studios for the first time and also went to Universal Studios that same year. I had a video camera at the time so took video at both parks. I will be uploading the Universal Studios video next week.

The MGM Studios video has scenes from The Great Movie Ride, the Rocketeer Gallery, New York Street, the Backlot Tour and Indiana Jones. Here is your chance to see what some of the park looked like almost 20 years ago.

Here is a link to pictures of the Guidebook along with the Showtimes Guide and a picture of the Park Pass along with the Parking Pass from that trip.

No Problem. And as promised I have posted the video from Universal Studios also. I have posted the video link in the Universal Studios section for those interested. It is a good way to compare the two parks and the way they were back almost 20 years ago.

Any chance of putting it on YouTube? It was unwatchable for me on vimeo. Very jerky and kept pausing.

I can try, but I will have to divide it up into parts. If I have the time this weekend I will try to see about posting it to Youtube early next week.

If you are having trouble viewing on Vimeo, you can download it from the site and then watch it off of your computer and see if that helps. If you look above the Statistics on the page you will see a download link, just right click on it and select save.

I have always wanted to see the 'Footlight Parade' scene before it became stationary! I love TGMR.
The Golden Girls is one of my favorite shows. I am so happy to finally see the house.
Thank you!

Downloading it worked. Thanks! One note: you have to join vimeo in order to download.

Thanks for sharing. We were there that summer as well. I really like the backlot tour then. I wonder where the Roger Rabbit props are now.
