While the studio tour actually does show visitors most of the Universal backlot (unless there is shooting going on that day in a given area), many tourists probably come away with the notion that the "studio tour" is essentially bogus.
For all of their talk about offering a "behind the scenes" look at Hollywood, the back lot which the trams survey is now as much an amusement park area as it is a working back lot, designed to keep the tourists happy and to pull in big bucks for the studio.
Universal Studios Hollywood has taken to calling itself "the entertainment capital of the Entertainment Capital," and while their tram tour may not be completely authentic, it's hard to deny that this giant Tinseltown theme park is a lot of fun.

 Universal Studios Hollywood -- etixland.com
The creation of the Entertainment Center is significant in Universal history, in that the Studio occupies some rather odd geography: unlike most flatland studio 'farms' in Hollywood (which indeed was once fruitful orchards), Universal sits sprawled atop rolling hills in a rather compact, meandering footprint on the land.
Before 1967, Universal's Tour was mostly limited to the flat studio lot down the hill, but this upper level expansion signaled the Studio's bid to provide guests with an all-day 'park' experience in an effort to directly compete with its SoCal 'neighbors', Disneyland and Knott's Berry Farm.
The Studio expanded its entertainment venue with the opening of the Universal Amphitheater in 1972, and debuted new Tour exhibits throughout the 70s, such as the Jaws Experience in 1976.

Universal's staff demonstrated its professionalism in communicating with the crowd, keeping it under control, then walking everyone down the steps and escalators to the Lower Lot, so no one could sprint ahead of the crowd.

 Mark Allen's "I Suffered Stendhal Syndrome At Universal Studios Hollywood!"
But the things that lay within the tour, beyond Tammy and Universal's reach - or even awareness - those were the things that seemed to be in control of me, and the effect they were having on me was causing me to loose control of my emotions, and therefore my body.
Universal hadn't intended this magical tour ride to be a mental torture chamber - but it was becoming one for me. We witnessed the "Different Strokes" set, the "Psycho" house, the "Night Rider" car spoke to us...every detail of every surface of every one of these experiences almost seeming to reach out at me...
It had a tag hanging off of it that said "Universal Studios Tour Hollywood" and was supposed to represent the magic illusion of movie making and special effects.

At this time, the production subsidiary was renamed Universal Studios Inc. This provided a cash infusion, but the clash of cultures was too great to overcome, and, in frustration, five years later Matsushita sold control MCA/Universal to the Canadian liquor distributor Seagram.
Hoping to build a media empire around Universal, Seagram bought Polygram and other entertainment properties, but the up-and-down profit in Hollywood was no substitute for a secure cash-cow like whiskey.
