Los Angeles is notorious for its involvement with the film industry but being allowed onset of the filming of a movie isn't very likely.  Visiting Universal Studios, however, can offer you a glimpse into what it is like to be involved in the film industry.  Here you can experience real special effects on rides that are intended to make you feel like you are in the middle of movies such as King Kong or Jaws.  You ride in a safe tram that takes you on a tour of explosions, earthquakes, floods and fires that are created through the use of special effects.  The devastation as you pass through is almost unbelievable but is also not real.  As you move past the effect, it returns to its original state in a matter of minutes giving the next visitors the opportunity to experience the special effects.
