20 Once-Beloved Universal Rides That Closed Forever

Out of all of them, only two remain in operation today: E.T. Adventure and the Horror Make-Up Show.

For those who don’t remember, back in 1993, there was another Super Mario Bros. movie, long before the recent popular animated film. In this strange, but memorable live-action interpretation, Bob Hoskins played Mario and John Lequizamo played Luigi.
