It has been years since I have rode the MGM Backlot Tour, probably not since the mid-90's. I was wondering what aspects of the tour have changed. I know Resedential Street is destroyed, and the ride through New York Street has been minimilzed. Does the tram still go through the production bungalows, the wardrobe department, and the camera, props, lighting, and scene shops? I know that because of the new Stunt Show, the backlot tour had to be reduced, but I still don't understand what they kept and what they took away. Could anyone give me a detailed description of the ride as it is presntly (September 2005) This summer, I went to the Disneyland Paris resort for the first time. I loved the Disneyland park, but the Studios park left much to be desired. While I enjoyed the Studio 1 building, and the slightly-modified Rock N Roller Coaster enjoyable, the Backlot tour was embarrising. It was horrible. I'm going to WDW next month, and I hope to ride the Backlot Tour. But, i don't want to waste my time on a repeat of the Paris version of the ride. I hope this classic ride has kept what makes it so great.
