Universal CityWalk, an outdoor shopping and dining plaza that also features a movie theatre and other attractions, adjacent to Universal Studios Hollywood theme park, is deserted at night after both CityWalk and the theme park were closed due to a fire on the backlot of Universal Studios in California June 1, 2008. A fire roared through part of Universal Studios film and TV studio on Sunday, damaging well-known movie sets and a popular "King Kong" attraction before being brought largely under control after 12 hours, fire officials said.
