If you are concerned about your safety while visiting
Universal Studios, you should not be. There are
security officers on the grounds, and security offices
are located in the upper lot by Nick Stuff and in the
lower lot inside the Jurassic Park Visitors Center.
After the 9/11 terrorists attacks, Universal Studios
put a heightened security program in place. Today,
security precautions are constantly taken for the
safety of all visitors and guests. The park stays
up-to-date on all security briefings that are issued
by local and federal law enforcement agencies,
and always takes appropriate measures to ensure
everyone's safety and well-being.
To date, there have been no major security issues at
Universal Studios. The park has never been
threatened by terrorists or nationals. In the event that
the park is threatened, again, measures are in place
to ensure the safety of everyone. With this in mind,
enjoy yourself and all that Universal Studios Tours
has to offer ? leave the worrying to the people who
are already equipped and prepared to deal with such
an emergency, should it ever arise.

Universal Studios Tours ? Park Information
If you are planning a trip to Universal Studios Tours,
you need to know specific information about the park
before you arrive. If you have special needs, you may
need more information than usual, and you should
contact Guest Services and inform them of your
special needs prior to your arrival.
You may purchase tickets in advance either online,
or over the telephone. Tickets can also be purchased
at Ticket Master Outlets and through travel agents.
You may also purchase tickets at the gate. General
one day admission costs $55, and those under forty
eight inches tall are charged $45. Children under
three are admitted free of charge. VIP Studio
Passes are available on a limited basis, and are
not available for children under the age of five. The
cost for VIP Studio Passes is $149 per person.
Annual tickets are also available, at a discounted
rate.
Universal Studios Hollywood is located in Los
Angeles, California, at 100 Universal City Plaza. This
is easily found right off of Highway 101, which is often
called the Hollywood Freeway. The park is about
ten minutes from the Los Angeles downtown area.
Only paid parking is available. It costs $10 for cars
and $11 for recreational vehicles. You can also get
preferred parking, which is closer to the entrance
for $17. Free parking is not available on the Universal
Studio grounds.
Realistically, it takes a full day to see all of the
attractions in the park. However, if you don't have a
full day to spend at Universal Studios Tours, you
should purchase the VIP pass, which will allow you
to move to the front of the line for all rides and
attractions. This cuts down wait times in lines
significantly, and allows you to see all of the
attractions much faster.
Don't allow the rain to ruin your parade! The park
remains open even when it rains, but if severe
weather is an issue, many shows may be cancelled
or relocated. In the event that the park must close
due to whether, a rain check will be issued. A
Universal Studio rain check will be issued if over 1/8
of an inch of rain falls before 2pm, and it is good for
thirty days.
Again, if you have special needs that may need
special accommodations, please contact Guest
Services by telephone prior to your visit. Some

Halloween At Universal Studios
Have you always dreamt of participating in a reality show ? Here is your chance. Fear Factor Live is a stunt show at the Universal Studios Tours where volunteers are from the audience ! Since there are three to five shows held everyday, chances are good that you might just be able to take part in it.
Of course there are a few things to know and remember before you take part in the stunt show. First, this is not a mock show. The fears are real and no simulated Fear Factor in this show. And the stunts are performed by members of the audience just like you. So if you are faint-hearted, better not attempt.
If you think you have the guts to go ahead and take part, visit the casting office, located near the Terminator ride, in the theme park. There are some physical standards that have to be met, which stands guarantee that you can handle the tasks assigned to you. You have to even sign a liability form which relieves Universal Studios and Fear Factor of any obligation, in case of any injuries or damages that may occur.
Before the actual show begins, those members of the audience who were not selected to participate are called on stage and some similar challenges are thrown, like eating insects and bugs. The winner of the pre-show contest is awarded wonderful prizes, like an annual pass to the theme park. Then there is an audience warm-up to build the excitement by the hosts of the show.
There are six participants in the show ? all chosen from the casting office. Their dress code is just like the original Fear Factor dress ? tight uniforms. Then a line-up of challenges, again like the Fear Factor challenges are thrown at the contestants. These include falling from a height, skill tests and of course the well-known gross-out challenge. While the show is on, a member of audience is picked up for yet another challenge, like putting your head in a tank which is replete with scorpions.
After watching Fear Factor, if you have bragged to your friends that it was easy for you and you could easily handle all those stunts yourself ? watch out. It could be that you prove yourself right or your friends could prove you wrong. This is your life-time opportunity to participate in the Fear Factor Live show at the Universal Studios Tours, and prove your mettle. Go and meet the casting office as soon as you can but make sure that you meet all their physical requirements. In case you don't, ask for being part of the audience.
