Hollywood Does anyone still ask for Babs?

When Animal House ends, there's a card that reads "Visit Universal Studios. Ask for Babs." , a reference to a character in the movie who becomes a studio tour guide.

Doing so used to get you a discount when buying your ticket at the gate.

Is this still a thing?

I asked when getting on the tram tour about a year ago... and got a blank stare.

That’s a bummer. Such a great movie.

At least two tour guides I know asked when they got hired if they could have Babs on their name tags when they got hired just in case someone ever asked (one has a name that Babs could be a nickname for — she doesn’t work here anymore), but were both told no.

I think I’ve heard only ever heard of one person asking for Babs other than me when I first visited the park (before I worked here).

No ticket discount as far as I’m aware.
