Universal Studios Hollywood BackLot Fire - MiceChat/MiceAge
Coverage
When a major fire broke out Sunday morning in the backlot area
of Universal Studios Hollywood, MiceChat was on the job gathering
information live, as it happened, and reporting to you. Sunday
morning, MiceChat's own Dustysage put together
an amazing live report of the developing story the moment the
news broke and stayed with it throughout the day. The report
included aerial views showing exactly what area of the backlot
was burning. Al Lutz followed up on Monday
morning by sharing close up views of the area prior to the blaze,
including the inside of the facades. Later on Monday, MiceChatter's
Sir Clinksalot and Snow White Raven
were on the scene and able to share some of the first pictures
from the park re-opening and Studio Tour. The dynamic pictures
showed a still smoldering New York Street while LA County's
finest were still on the scene making sure the park was safe
for guests.
Thanks to Dustysage, Al Lutz
and the MiceChat team for the continuing, up-to-the-minute coverage!
Light my fire. |

Pink Cadillac of Walt Disney Studios

Rystall takes some great photos of it and others fill in with some photos of the old one. Magnifique!
The most useless... I mean, err, um, interesting site on the interwebs,
towel animals at sea, and ideas for a personalized license plate for
your car! And Don Quixote! Where else but at MiceChat could you find such varied and interesting topics? All of that and more, this week in the Main Lounge...
~disneyballerina

According the
openattheseams, and I tend to agree!
You want me to spell what!?!

With such big news coming out of Universal Studios Hollywood this weekend, our Non-Disney section was
very busy! - Sir Clinksalot
Huge Fire at Universal Studios, CA
In a great companion thread to the one in the
MiceChat news section, the rest of the MiceChat community shared the stories they had found, and their memories of New York Street and King Kong.
Looking forward at Universal Studios Hollywood
Even as the smoke was clearing at Universal Studios, the park and some
MiceChatter's were looking at the future of the backlot. Should it be kept the same? Upgraded King Kong from the new movie? Something else? Come on over and let your imaginations run wild.
R.I.P. King Kong
Finally, BassBone asks you to share your memories of King Kong. His father was one of the original sound designers and voice of the ape, so obviously the attraction holds a special place for his family. What are your memories of old banana breath?
What the future holds for Disney/Pixar
Even though the opening of Wall.E is still weeks away, it's never too early to take a look into what Disney/Pixar is going to be brining us in the years to come.
