==Attraction History==
After exiting New York Street, the tram would reach Catastrophe Canyon, which was a movie set used to demonstrate special effects. Here, guests experience a simulated earthquake, followed by an oil tanker blowing up, catching on fire. The experience concludes with a flood coming down from above the tram. After surviving Catastrophe Canyon, guests entered the bone yard. Here, props from various movies including The Rocketeer, Roger Rabbit, and Star Wars.

Passing through the bone yard marked the halfway point of the original Studio Backlot Tour. After a short break, guests would begin the walking portion of the attraction. The first thing guests experienced on the walking tour was the Water Effects Tank. Here, guests got to see how special effects were used to make ship scenes realistic.
