- Back in December 2000, my family took a trip to Universal Studios Florida. Here in its unedited form is a home video a 15-year old me took of, in my opinion the best part of the park, the Nickelodeon Studios Tour!
You'll see the outdoor set of Slime Time Live, the Nickelodeon GAS Garage (in Stage 19) and bit of the indoor set of Slime Time Live, also in Stage 19-which taped to the left of the GAS Garage. (Taina was taping in Stage 18, but I had stopped tape at that point.)
You'll also see my brother get slimed in the Game Lab, followed by actual set props from Nickelodeon game shows hanging on the Game Lab walls! - บันเทิง
Man I wish I could’ve seen this as a kid... I want to cry watching this, there was something so special about being a kid in the 90’s. Wish time travel was real.
Visiting the studio and getting to tour it as a kid was the coolest thing. I will never forget that. Universal needs to bring it back
Went here with my school. One of the best experiences of my life. I can visually remember everything.
Lucky
I missed out on Nickelodeon Studios
I remember when that slime geyser at the beginning went off and I got SO disappointed when I realized it was just green water, because I wanted to be slimed SO badly. We then went in and they must have been trying out a new version of the game show (this was September 2002), as I played in live a trivia-style show, which was fun but I remember being more bummed that I wasn't the kid picked to be slimed. Thanks for unlocking that memory! :)
I'm still upset I didn't get slimed at Nickelodeon Studios. I had told my parents I wanted to get slimed since I was 5. They took me as a gift for my 10th birthday. I remember going to Universal Studios 1 day before my birthday. I didn't get chosen to be slimed and was sad so I asked my parents if we could go back to the Nick tour, and they didn't want to go again; they wanted to go visit the other parts of the park, even though we live in Los Angeles and almost have the same things in the Universal park here.. Then the next day I basically chilled at the hotel and played mini-golf with my mom for my 10th birthday. I asked my mom if she could take me back to Universal and she said no. I thought I could just get slimed at the Totally Nickelodeon show in Universal Hollywood, but that ended up closing a few months after. Then a couple more months after that something really bad happened within my family so it meant no trip to Orlando in the near future.
Wow, that’s so cool that you actually showed the escalator room when they added the wild Thornberry murals, You could only see the escalator before the murals, amazing footage! I went in 1990, and the last time was in 2003 when they shortened the tour.
Very cool! What shows were set up in the two studios when you went in 1990?
Oh good question! When I went in July of 1990 they were filming Make the grade in stage 18 I beleive, and they had the audition room ofcourse, in 2003 all they were filming was slime time live I beleive or it either got canceled. I got to see Marc summers walk by. Very cool experience! I miss the studio.
You uploaded very good footage! You could never find tour videos showcing the Wild Thornberry murals, very cool!
This is incredible footage. It is extremely hard to find footage of the studio tour this late in its run that does not involve the game lab.
Glad you enjoyed! This wasn't the last time I went to Nickelodeon Studios, but the last time I went when they were doing the full fledged tour. I went 3 years later, but it was only Game Lab.
@@hostsathome7390 The full tour ended on June 15, 2001, after layoffs were made at the studio.
@@CJODell12 Thanks for the info!
Yeah when I went in 2003/2004 for the last time it was only Game lab, I was kinda bummed out because the tour just wasn’t as good as it was when I went in 1990 - 95. The only thing I got to see was the Wild thornberry murals, One of my friends did work there tho Since 94. But he left in 2002, due to employees being let go.
Got slimed in 1996. I’ll Never forget it!! They also fake slimed you a few times in the pool before the real stuff haha.
Interesting tour. Recently, a good friend of mine who works for CSX Transportation was telling me that for a very short period, talks between Universal, Nick and CSX about adding a track to the studios. Mostly to be used by Amtrak for having the Silver Star stop there en route to Miami or New York. Why the railroad line was never built is beyond me, but, imagine taking the train directly to Nickelodeon Studios.
I would have had a monthly train ticket if that happened, so cool! Thanks for sharing!
@@hostsathome7390 Always glad to share.
i would have liked to go there when i was younger. too bad it's not around anymore
Now THIS was a really cool tour video! Although it didn't show much of the actual tour, which is a bummer since there was a rule of no video taping and has made finding footage of the tour a lot more difficult. you really knew your Nickelodeon and showed a lot of amazing stuff that I didn't know was at the studios at the time! Like the Get the Picture sign, the "What Would You Do?" props, the GUTS medals, all the logos that decorated the Game Lab, everything. Amazing job! 😀
Thank you! Believe me, 15 year old me wanted to record during the tour...I snuck the quick shot of the Nick GAS Garage in Stage 19...but after that shut it off.
@@hostsathome7390 I will never understand why Nickelodeon had a problem with people filming the tour back then. Specially when in the later years, when the tour was shortened, they allowed people to record. I would say maybe it's because back then they were hard at work with production and don't want footage surfacing to Disney on what they were up to but I don't know. But because of that, now finding home video of the tour or even a layout of what the studios looked like during the tour is really hard to come by. There's countless videos of the Gabe Lab portion but not the tour. Hard to carve out a recreation of what the tour was like.
Awesome video. I went to Nickelodeon April 200 and summer 1995. In 200 I took the tour and gamelab. Didn’t get slimed but still fun to be there.
I got to see the studio for the first time in 04’, right before they got their paint job. I don’t remember if we went in the game lab, but we definitely saw the slime geyser, and maybe even took a picture by it.
Finally I found a video of the studios open with the wild thornberry’s murals on the escalators.
I went here in the summer of 2000 with my sister on vacation... fortunately we didn't run into Dan Schneider at least :)
Very cool! You must have had a similar experience to this one then!
Omg I totally didn’t realize that you uploaded the My family got guts BTS, showcasing the whole inside of the Nickelodeon building, very cool.
When everything wasn’t all about being on your phone 24/7 everybody participated in stuff everything🥰✨
I wish I was a kid in the 2000
I believe the year 2000 was the last year of the studio tour before they shortened the tour to just the game lab.
I was lucky enough to go in April of 2005, Wasn’t in its prime tho, and the tour was short and kinda disappointing, but I still got to go and see the building before it closed
Every little bit of seeing Nick Studios with your own eyes counts for something. They should have never closed it.
I agree! It was so sad to see it close, I almost managed to sneak in in mid late 2005, I only was able to get to the balcony and peak inside.
@@charlotteharris5729 When I worked on My Family's Got GUTS in 2008, I was pleased to see everything was very much intact. The last time I was inside was February 2015...and lots of the signage by the escalators, etc. was still there!
Wow you worked on My family’s got guts, very cool! My friend worked there from 1993 - 2001, he would walk down the main hallway.
@@charlotteharris5729 I'm sure he has great pics! Yes I was the Teams Coordinator for My Family's Got GUTS...still one of the best work experiences I've ever had!
Sadly I never got the chance to be at a taping of the shows during the studios' run. But I did get slimed, and still have my certificate for it.
Take me back!
I wish!!!
I was slimed at Nick Studios! It was over 30 years ago and I remember it like it was yesterday
aha! I KNEW THE WALL O' STUFF was there
thanks for getting it on tape Adam!
@@Wheeloffortunefan999 Sure thing!
@@hostsathome7390 and thanks also for confirming what 2 other people told me, that it was the smaller version used on the family double dare live tour. (I wonder where the big one used on the actual show is.)
@@Wheeloffortunefan999 I'm sure the big one is gone...like most props/set pieces from shows after they go off.
I always wanted to go to Nickelodeon Studios, but I never had the opportunity, as I only went to the other side of Universal Studios as part of a High School trip.
You and your family must've really enjoyed yourselves, and it was nice to see someone getting slimed!
I don't exactly know what game the kids were playing on those tricycles, but it was very nice to see the Legends of the Hidden Temple timer for that game, even though the Figure it Out bells were used when the clock reached 0.
I missed out on visiting this. My family was more focused on disney when I was growing up so I never visited universal a lot growing up but I do remember doing the jimmy neutron ride. I miss that attraction
I was there in October 2000. Met Dave Aizernkf Slime time.

Wow this video is awesome. Were they still using green applesauce for the slime? For some reason it looks different here, did you brother ever say what the slime tasted like?
I don't remember my brother saying it tasted anything like apple sauce. This was a long time ago!
2:39 - We’re in the land of Nick Jr. The blue’s clues model is fantastic!!!
“Red team you guys get 10 (points), no recounts, thank you” …Extremely timely and hilarious joke for December 2000
Wait so I have a question, are you the person who was filming the video and narrating it, or is this your brother. I’m not asking for personal info I am just curious? xD
That was 15 year old me!
Damn, that was such a long time AGO! Why do the years pass by so fast, lol.
Is David your brother?
Yes.
How old is your brother now Adam?
@@jwgreek8606 That's personal info. Please keep all comments/messages professional and related to the content.
Hey did you know that Blue Man Group was closed back in 2021 you think they're going to bring back Nickelodeon Studios
Doubt it.
So what logos were on the walls of the Game Lab? I like that they have that on there! Based on your memory and the footage in this video, could you tell us?
I showed all the logos in the video that were on display.
@@hostsathome7390 However it does beg the question, how would there still be a logo for Roundhouse when the show isn't even in reruns by 2000?
@@hamursh Roundhouse never had an on-set logo. Not all of the logos were previously used on sets for shows.
Pre-coronavirus stuff.📱😎
