Also, I would hate to say that he had a pretty prime peace of real-estate, and the actual people who knew what he was most likey dwindling without major events in the series in the recent years.
I'm pretty sure that when he was taken down, the space was used for a new exhibit that was based on a movie of the time, does anyone remember what that was?

well I found out was wrong. KITT was moved, and a cafe was put in its place. It wasn't to make room for the latest movie. (And KITT was there after Jurassic Park stuck, as the last time I was at Universal, the Jurassic Park ride, and KITT were both there)
A couple of years ago, KITT was moved right under where the 'U' in the words 'Upper Lot' on the map linked below. After they took him down and removed the water platform, they replaced it with a dining area. At one time they even had Beast from TKR there.
Here is a map of Universal Studios. The area circled in red is where KITT was, right next to the giant shark from jaws. Where the tables and umbrella are now.

I'll try to get a map up here in the next few days to week with KITT on the actual map for comparison. If someone else has access, please feel free to post it as well

The pics of KITT on the water were taken in the middle of the red circle on the map, next to the Jaws shark. The whole structure that used to be there is now no longer.aussieknight wrote:So where were the original pics of KITT on the water feature taken? Where was KITT first displayed? Wasn't there a angled side-on display at one time? Why is the sky blue? Oh, sorry about the last one.

One cool thing about KITT at Universal was that sometimes when people came to the front of the car to take pictures, KITT would raise his headlights and say "cheese". It surprised a lot of people, who didn't think KITT could really "see" them. If no one was in line to sit inside, he would call out to people walking by. They had some nice touches.

well, I'm not sure if I've posted them before, but here are 5 pics. of KITT at Universal Studios in Hollywood. All of the pics. (except one) are all courtesy of my dad, who is an excellent photographer too! Anyway, I'm sorry if they consume board space for a bit but they're really good pics. and I thought I should share them for at least a bit. Enjoy!
