WHOOPI GOLDBERG - GOLDBERG TO LEAD UNIVERSAL TOUR

WHOOPI GOLDBERG is giving Hollywood's Universal Studios theme park a boost by starring in a new welcome video for tourists. Visitors riding Universal's Studio Tours will be greeted by Goldberg, who has recorded a new video guide for the backstage trek at the park, which attracts 125 million visitors every year. The new video is part of a new revamp planned for this summer (06), which will also see new attractions like the CSI: CRIME SCENE INVESTIGATION set and a chase sequence inspired by new film FAST AND THE FURIOUS: TOKYO DRIFT. Meanwhile, movie moguls like ROBERT ZEMECKIS and SYDNEY POLLACK have been brought on board to help train up new tour guides and actors employed by the theme park.
