Where In The Park Podcast - Discovering the Details of your Favorite Theme Parks
Honoring Jay Stein — The Legacy Behind Universal Studios’ Success
This week, we’re paying tribute to one of the most influential figures in theme park history: Jay Stein, the visionary leader who transformed Universal from a simple backlot tour into a global entertainment powerhouse.
Jay Stein’s creative instincts, bold leadership, and “ride the movies” philosophy forever changed how we experience theme parks. From reinventing the Universal Studio Tour to championing the creation of Universal Studios Florida, Jay paved the way for the cinematic, immersive attractions we know and love today.
In this episode, we explore:
- Jay’s rise through MCA and his impact on the early Studio Tour
- The creation of the first special-effects moments that defined Universal’s identity
- His lasting creative blueprint that still influences Universal Parks worldwide
Join us as we honor the life, career, and lasting impact of the man who made it possible for all of us to truly ride the movies.
