Behind the scenes

[Universal CRAZY]

HAs anyone stayed after the show and seen the behind the scenes of the show. The actors come out and talk about some TErminator trivia and how the show works. You can do this by taking the VIP tour or having front of the line pass.

Have they always been doing that?

They've offered a special promotion for pass holders at one point that gave them a behind the scenes look at most attractions.

yea they have always done it. All you have to do is stay after the show. if you don't have a pass or vip tour all you have to do is tell them that you already seen it and that your guide said to bring ur family and friends back and they could watch it or just something like that

necropost, for the win... xp ....anyways

The Behind the Scenes takes place about two times a day during off-peak season only for FOL and VIP guests.
Basically, it goes like this: (btw, some spoilers if you ever plan on seeing it)

Kimberley's back from the dead. Yay! She gives a basic introduction and asks if anyone has questions. She's then interrupted, again, by John Connor who rapels from same spot as he does in the show. He's scripted to say, "I have a question: Can I join your show?!" Of course, some of the actors change it. (e.g. Oh my god, she's back from the dead!) As he makes his way down the stage, Kimberley introduces the actor and mentions whatever shows or movies he's been in. John then does the same for Kimberley. They then go on to introduce the stage manager and show where the projectors are located. Kimberley gives some facts about the center screen and shows the audience how the motorcycle comes on stage (thus killing the magic for children everywhere, lol, jk). They then introduce, the star himself, the Terminator! Who comes in from the side door that they use when the bike's broken. He busts through holding the plasma rifle and a rubber replica of Sarah's AR-15 automatic rifle. Either Kimberley or John talks about movies or shows the actor's been in. Terminator then gives a trivia fact about Arnold's pay in the movie. For example, the famous line, 'Hasta la vista, baby,' costed about $84K. John brings out a mini-hunter model that was held by Arnold, and lets guests touch, not handle, the model. They then talk about the police and weapons training they went through, and how many shows they do in a day. They also say how many actors are hired, which acts as a segue to Kimberley's next line. "You're forgetting some. My favorite guys." J or T: "But I thought we were your favorites." (or something like that) Kimberley then asks the audience for help and tells them to yell out "ACTION!" on the count of three. Her favorites are, drumroll, the four T-70s. They then open it up for any questions the guests might have then take pictures with the T-70s, Terminator, John, and sometimes Kimberley (time permitting).

Hope this helped. :)

Just thought I'd post a few random pictures I've taken around T2 that guests don't get to see.

What the theater looks like before opening:



During a rainy day, Blues Brothers has its shows in T2. Here's a tiny glimpse of what it looks like:



Found one of the Terminator actors and a stage manager playing on stage one day:

Photos are awesome. Too bad the vids are not in better quality. Do you have any high res shots of those pics?
