Cinevilla

Latvia has a "Universal Studios"/"Old Tucson" called Cinevilla. 
Where you can go and tour the sets and see where they make movies locally.  They showed us how to do things on "green screens". 

They had a whole bunch of old vehicles. 

They've built a ton of buildings that replicate various parts of Riga.

There was even a ship!

They have a bridge that can be moved by two men...and it's huge...it has something to do with the rotating device that they have it on.  It's fairly famous, apparently many other film companies from other countries have used it, most recently Japan!

They have all these barrels dressed up like various things...an owl, a horse, people...



It was really neat and a very pretty place.  Great location to film a movie or to visit.  They have costumes that you can dress up in...no one in our group wanted to dress up, but it would be a great place to take the kids for hours of fun.  Dress up and play on a movie set...what's better than that?

Looks like fun. :) I'd say Universal Studios is better though. :) Cody and I got to ride a pretty good coaster at California Adventures, made me miss Wrestling trips to Magic Mountain. :)
