Timeline Drive

As the Studio Tour tram leaves the loading station and winds down the hill alongside the Starway escalators, you pass a long line of posters showcasing classic Universal movies from 1914 up to the present day.

The list below shows how Timeline Drive is in April 2012. Some posters have been removed to make more room for recent movies.
