The mexican restaurant across from Doc's? I think it was many things over time. Loved the patio area.We would eat there often, especially when Universal had that all you can eat deal. I remember Zorro running around the rooftops of that building.

I think you are right. I know the building is still there since I can point it out when I'm here but the rain patio isn't. I'm looking for a picture of it.

Yup that is it. You can see the remainder of the pond where the battleships used to be. The pond was a lot bigger. That picture shows the rain effect. Thanks!

That's where I was a little confused. I guess I fell in love with the area after they converted it as I do not remember the ships or the huge pond at all :confused:

Now that you mention it though, I do have the memory of the huge pond just by photo/old footage. I have a picture of me in the Delorean which was parked besides a huge pond when I was a young one. That has to be it!

My oldest memories of USH are the face actors that would pretend they were statues at the entrance and Conan the Barbarian.

I remember how exciting it was when they opened the lower lot with E.T and the Lucy Tribute. Was backdraft down there too or you where the Simpson’s is now? I also remember the little Special effects show and then the other show where they picked someone to be Doc Brown.

One of my oldest memories is of the ADAM-12 show in what is now I think the special effects theater, which back then didn't have a ceiling. I have a very vague memory of there being a Dragnet show in that location before that but not totally sure that isn't a memory I've manufactured. Absolutely no memory of the Hollywood Palace of Puppets.

The lower lot had Backdraft and the Special Effects show where Transformers is now. Back in the 70's & 80's It was just the Special Effects show. The tram would dump you there for the show and pick you up after.
