While these shows and the backstage tours were complementary, they were indeed separate entities. There was no 3 hour tour at D/MGM at any time in the park's history.

Originally Posted By danyoung Well, to be fair, guests were also used in the Monster Sound Show. But I don't think they were used at all on the actual backlot tour outside of the bee sequence.
Originally Posted By standor I remember a sound stage where they showed war ships and exploded them. They also had a scene where someone was steering a ship and a storm came up.

Originally Posted By hbquikcomjamesl I will say that Studios was a better park when it actually was a working studio.

I think I can vaguely recall seeing -- oops -- HEARing "Sounds Dangerous" at some point, and felt that while it was nothing to write home about, it certainly wasn't as bad as some people make it out to be. Nor even remotely as <obscenity> horrible as Epcot Mexico's El Desperdicio del Tiempo. As to Studios being a lousy park, well, I guess you don't care much for The Great Movie Ride. Or the original ToT.

Or RockNRoller coaster or Star Tours II or Indy show (probably outdated now since show is about Indy 1 and they have already done Indy 4) or the stunt show with the cars or Fantasmic. I think the big factor for the Studios park is that shows and exhibits don't have the same repeatability that some rides do, therefore once you have seen the shows there are only a few compelling rides that bring you back for repeat visits.
