Hey folks, Harry here.... Quint gave us only the beginnings of this type of thing in his L.A. Adventures if you remember.... but now we have a little clearer of a description of what was going on there. Take a listen.... Nikko be talking..
Nikko Wingin' In From Oz,
After "the Grinch" party at Universal Citywalk last night, I took a stroll through the Universal backlot. Eeriely deserted, I thought I'd check out what looks like a new building under construction near the Psycho House. Was it a new amphitheater? A new soundstage? An excavation of some sort??? Whatever it was - it was enormous! About the size of a football field, and planted where the blue sky/tank used to sit (remember JAWS: The Revenge?"). After creeping around a minefield of scaffolding covered with balck tarp, I found myself inside what looked like the top of a hydro electric plant snuggled inside a small canyon. Obviously built on the site of the blue sky/water tank to make use of its plumbing, the mammoth set was totally enclosed with scaffolding and two huge trusses crossing overhead to allow for camera placement. Very cool. Very large. VERRRRRY Impre$$ive. According to the Security Guard who, um..."escorted" me out - the set was built for JURASSIC PARK 3.
