When the exposition ended in , a man named Ross Davis purchased the carousel and transported it over miles north to its new home in Griffith Park, where it is still in operation to this day, over seven decades later.

The carousel also features a custom-built Stinson Military Band Organ, which plays a library of over different songs. And, incredibly enough, the Griffith Park Merry Go Round even served as the inspiration for one of the most famous landmarks in the entire world — Disneyland! Yes, you read that right. The bench where Walt used to sit during those outings which is pictured very poorly above is still on display at the merry go round to this day.

It was a commercial for Pepsi Cola and, in it, the newbie actor was shown handing out bottles of the soft drink to teenagers who were riding the merry go round. Such incredible history!

I, of course, had to take a ride on the carousel while I was there and it was so incredibly fun! In an odd coincidence, I just found out today that my childhood merry go round was also designed by the Spillman Engineering Company, but it is sadly no longer in operation publicly as it was purchased by a Vegas millionaire who had it installed in a room in his home! Not kidding! But I digress. Mike clued me into the fact that the Merry Go Round was also featured at the very end of the comedy Twins , in the scene in which Julius and Vincent Benedict aka Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito, respectively meet up with their wives, Marnie and Linda Mason aka Kelly Preston and Chloe Webb, respectively , and their new twin children at a carousel in a park.

During the summer months, it is also open on weekdays. The Merry Go Round can be a bit tricky to find and is not entirely visible from the road. Make a left onto Fire Road and park in the first lot that you come to. The Merry Go Round is located just north of that lot. While they were here, I decided to take them on a Hollywood studio tour. So, I got Mike, from MovieShotsLA , on the phone and the two of us had a very in-depth discussion about it, carefully weighing all of our options.

Not kidding — you should have heard the two of us. And even though I was leaning towards Paramount, Mike convinced me that because the WB Tour covers the overall studio experience, it would be the best choice for those stalkers who had yet to visit a movie studio. Paramount is geared more towards us die-hard stalkers, in my opinion, which is probably why I like it the best.

This was actually my third time stalking the lot and it really is true what they say — no two tours are alike. I already want to go back for a fourth time. She even got a bit testy with me at one point, after bringing us to the Central Park portion of the lot and asking if anyone knew what television show it had been featured in. Anyway, aside from Debbie Downer and the fact that numerous areas of lot were closed off, we had a great time on the tour.

Our first stop was the old ER hospital set which has all but been dismantled. While the hospital entrance and L Train track will be left up to be used by future productions. The way it used to look is pictured above.

You can see more photographs of the old ER set on my two previous WB Tour posts which can be viewed here and here. The ceilings of sets are always left open so that lights and other production equipment can be hung above the area being filmed. Our next stop was the the Embassy Courtyard, an area which was used in the made-for-TV movie Annie, in the television series Without a Trace, Hotel, and, as you can see in the above screen captures , Chuck.

Our next stop was the soundstage used in the filming of the television show Chuck , a series which I have never before seen. And while our tour guide did let us know that the Chuck set was based on a real life apartment building, she mistakenly told our group that said building was located in Los Feliz, which is actually incorrect. The building, which is named El Cabrillo, is actually located in Hollywood. Unfortunately no photographs were allowed inside of the Chuck soundstages, but you can see what the set looks like in the above screen captures.

When I asked our tour guide why the area was off-limits to cameras she said it was to prevent spoilers, i. Also on display was the Ducati motorcycle from The Matrix Reloaded ;.

The best part of the tour for me, though, had to be when we got to see the Central Perk set from Friends. Those are my friends Doina and Stephanie sitting on the Friends couch with me in the above photograph. Tours run every 30 minutes Monday through Friday from a. Advance reservations are recommended. You can learn more about the tour here. Last week, while out and about stalking in Pasadena, I just happened to run across a large production crew filming underneath the Colorado Street Bridge, so, of course, I just had to pull my car over to ask what was being filmed.

And I was even more excited when one of the crew members told me that I was welcome to hang out onsite for as long as I wanted to watch all of the action that was taking place! To stay out of the way of the cast and crew, I parked myself on a walking trail located just above the clearing, which turned out to be the PERFECT spot to watch the filming, but, unfortunately, did not offer me the best vantage point from which to take photos.

When I first walked up to watch the filming, none of the actors were yet on set. So, I just had to ask one of the crew members if cutie Simon Baker would be filming that day and I just about spazzed out right there on the spot when he told me yes!

I could have died a happy girl right there on the spot!!!! While Owain is just okay-looking on the show, let me tell you, in person he is downright dreamy!!! Owain is much taller and much thinner than he appears to be on TV and actually looks quite a bit like Josh Duhamel.
