Students describe backlot tour, rides and heat at Universal Studios
Summary
Students interviewed on their school bulletin described a VIP backlot tour at Universal Studios, noted how sets and effects are reused across productions, and named favorite rides and food; several cited heat and one reported being stuck on a ride.
Students interviewed for the RHS weekly bulletin described visiting Universal Studios, saying they saw backlot sets and special effects and rode the park’s headline attractions.
The interviews, conducted on the school bulletin, included multiple students who attended a VIP backlot tour. “What I learned is they reuse multiple stages for, different movies and they created a lot of movies … and seeing that they use fire effects in the back,” said Hassan, a student interviewed on the bulletin. Brooklyn said she “learned just, like, the perspectives of, like, the sets and how stuff was filmed, and I saw a sound stage, and I saw props, and just different like sets where they film.”
Students named favorite rides and food. One student said, “My favorite ride at Universal was probably the mummy ride.” Another named the Super Nintendo ride, noting “it didn’t make me sick” because “it’s like a game.” Several students said Jurassic Park/Jurassic World and the mummy were favorites. Food mentions included Krusty Burger and donuts; one student said, “I got a donut” and called it “awesome.”
Several students noted heat as a negative. One student said the least favorite part was “that it was really hot.” Another reported a longer delay: “I was stuck on the ride for, like, 30 30 minutes.”
The bulletin’s interviews mixed descriptions of what students learned on the backlot tour with informal reaction to rides and food. No district or park officials appeared in the segment, and no formal school action or funding related to the trip was discussed.
