I remember going to this as a kid and thinking it was completely real. Scared the crap out of me, it’s crazy how real these immersion experiences are to a child.
I was a really scared child. This had me mortified. I thought that the tornado was real because that’s what my dad has told me lol. Anyway I keep my eyes shut the whole time so I never even saw what happened i thought I was going to die.
i was in the 1st grade, and instead of disney my parent brought me to universal and proceeded to tell me that all these attractions, such us disaster, twister, mummy, Jaws, etc were real. Id ask them "is it real am i gonna die" and they were just like "it is real, but you should be ok" I was crying everytime. Not to mention i was not tall enough to go on any of the rollercoasters that I actually wanted to ride.
@@zacatak619 Oh yeah, my parents took me on the jaws ride when I was seven and then were mad that I was too terrified to go on any of the other rides that visit. Thank God that ride is gone so the zoomers and their kids don't get traumatized.
Dude I got chills watching this, brought back memories of seeing it in person, it was SO awesome feeling the rush of the air and the heat from the fire, so sad that it's no longer around!
It's gone? Good! Idc what it was replaced with. This seemed like an overpriced, lame experience. My local six flags could recreate a better experience with a large screen and some moving theater seats lol
The prices are not that bad. Good thing it not even close to being like 1k dollars to go for 1 day. But seriously, look at the Eras Tour prices and you'll see something you can't afford.
My favorite part on this ride as a kid was walking through that broken up house at the start. I loved the amount of detail they put into it. Some of these old rides I really, really miss. Like old Jaws and Earthquake. I've always had a love for natural disaster simulator rides 😭
Yup, Jaws, Earthquake, Twister, Terminator 3D and King Kong. I miss them all, a lot. Childhood memories. Was always my favorite park, even over Disney. We always lived in Central Florida, so I've been there dozens of times. At least E.T. is still there. I make sure to ride it every time, just in case..... Only remaining original attraction
That exact part was something that stuck with me too. As a kid I was terrified of that area especially since where I grew up at was a bit outside the edge of Tornado Alley. Kept picturing that could be my house plus the moment when the guests are ready to enter the theater and you hear the sirens going off and the twister approaching.
I found that pre-ride stuff with the actors way too long. I have been there myself but I seriously was about to walk out because it just went on forever and ever.
Liam Panther i was in 03 as well! Ironic, it scary, whats gets you is how realistic the entire set looks! I was a teenager then, so it really didnt terrorize me as much as my younger self woulda did lol
I agree with your choices but I would also like to include Back To The Future as well as that ride was great. Once again get rid of a classic like Twister and replace it with a Late Night talk show host Jimmy Fallon. Get rid of Back To The Future ride for a very terrible The Simpsons ride.
To be fair the Harry Potter stuff at Universal is incredibly solid (despite JK Rowling's attempts to ruin everything and burn it all to the ground), so I can bear with that one even though it replaced Jaws. The Simpsons ride on the otherhand replaced a ride for one of the greatest movies of all time with a ride for a show that was already past its prime even back then. The Jimmy Fallon ride was pretty fun the first time riding, but that small amount of fun isn't there the second time around, so it sucks that it replaced one of the best attractions. But, my friends, all of this is peanuts compared to the greatest crime against theme parks in all of history; the abortion known as "Fast and Furious Supercharged"! This monstrosity of a """ride""" replaced both Disaster AND Beetlejuice's Graveyard Revue! Two whole attractions had to be taken down because despite it being such a short and underwhelming experience, it somehow takes up an ungodly massive footprint!
@@0800styles i havent but despite them removing good rides, the orlando parks are still really good. universal studios Florida has some good rides, islands of adventure is amazing, and with epic universe on the horizon, its looking really good.

I'm from Florida my relatives from Iowa wanted to go to Universal while visiting. After we were stuck in the line for Twister for an hour, they joked how they traveled to Florida to feel like they were back in Iowa..lol
lol i was the opposite, i'm from IL so we get tornadoes but i was like 6 and loved twister the movie and all the stuff in the queue but cried and screamed and peed myself during the show
Not only was this a REALLY FUN attraction, but this was also a great way too cool off from the heat. You get a nice big breeze and a cool spritz of water, without getting soaked. Perfect place to take a break from those scorchers when you were inside the park.
Velocicoaster? Revenge of the Mummy? Skull Island with the massive animatronic at the end? Not to mention Hagrid's Motorbike Adventure that adds animatronics, a coaster, and special effects together?

@@ThisAintMyGithub US Hollywood is all screens except for Jurassic Park and I guess you could include that one HP ride. If you're not a small child, it feels like you're just hopping from screen to screen.

My favorite thing about theme park/haunted attractions are always the sets. They are like paintings: scenes captured in time, but here you can actually walk into them and marvel in awe at the detail. The set seen throughout this attraction, from the outside building to the interior, is insanely cool! The level of detail and immersion in this disaster-ravaged environment they put you in is off the charts. Love the chaotic feel, it's almost as if you put several action scenes in a movie on pause and started walking through it. And then when you actually get to the tornado, the effects are amazing! Love how the ceiling and walls are all massive screens with CG, and I really wanna know how they made the giant sign and thing from the gas station go flying away. Makes me wonder about the structural integrity of the place haha.
@@CivWarThor I guess I will. Sorry to break it to you Javi B, but this experience may or may not have been replaced with a ride which may or may not have what you just mentioned…
I’m so happy I found this! It’s so disappointing that they got rid of this! I went to Disney and Universal with my family when I was 5. This was and is my favorite movie, I’ve been obsessed with tornadoes since I was a little kid. I remember being so excited to go on this “ride” but it absolutely terrified me! I don’t remember everything that it showed but I remember the tornado just shooting down super fast from the sky right in front of us. I started screaming and crying. My brother picked me up, held me in his arms (still my hero to this day) and carried me out at the end lol. It’s my dream to chase tornadoes one day. Shout out to all my fellow storm chasers and RIP Bill Paxton, “The Extreme.”
“By the end there’s only one thing you can do…Hold on for your life.” That moment absolutely TERRIFIED me as a kid. The cold delivery met with the static fuzz of the TV, yeah that was nightmare inducing. I remember distinctly being intrigued before that moment, then as soon as that part came on, instant fear and tears. As a child, this was absolutely one of the most thrilling and terrifying experiences at Universal Studios. Truly like nothing else. Man I miss those experiences and rides at Universal, nothing compares to it.
We've lost Twister and Jaws, but ET still remains!! Let's all hope it stays with us for a while longer. Edit 2022: The woody woodpecker area around ET is getting a modern overhaul! What do yal think it's gonna look like?
this makes me cry because i can barely remember the ride from memory alone but seeing this being archived forever in the internet brings me joy that i can relive those happy memories again. thank you for this
I’m so sad that I never got the chance to experience this ride 😭💔 Twister is my favorite movie of all time and I love Bill Paxton! May he Rest In Peace ❤️🙏🏻
This Old attraction at Universal Studios Florida just proves how powerful a tornado can be. Experiencing this ride is just as good or as near as experiencing a tornado warning in reality. And it just proves how powerful they can be in reality if you think you can overestimate the tornado. They did a phenomenal job with this attraction I still can’t believe they took it down and I never even had a chance to experience it. But I can see from the main show in this video that they did a really magnificent job and made the ride look very realistic. I loved how the projected tornado tore up the movie screen in the beginning. I also loved it when the glass shattered and all things that you’d expect a tornado to do.
Connie Elliott What was the Funnel Cloud like? And what was it like specifically more then just Scary? Because I wanna see one in person but from the far
They (need) to bring this ride back now. Theres way too many people upset about it being removed. Universal has left many heart broken takeing Twister away from us. Twister is still one of the all-time loved weather movies in the world.
@@dev_twisterlctech1389 twister, earthquake and then jaws 3RD?? No way lol earthquake was not well liked by guests ( I liked it) but I would never put jaws after earthquake.
Man, I loved this ride when I was a kid, and I'll admit, I got absolutely intimidated and scared shitless when the tornado started to approach from the background. It was mostly something about how much larger it looked than when it actually appeared in front of us that struck a chord with me. Overall, it was a great ride and I'm sad that it's gone because I had such a good first experience with it.
The twister was definitely one of those rides that makes you feel as though you’re part of the movie or even in real life. I’m thinking oh my goodness this is scary even though it’s a ride am I gonna get whisked away by the twister I mean I’m like 13 or 14 years old I got a whole life ahead of me but again I find the ride amazing to ride.
The nostalgia is strong here!! Twister is my moms favorite movie. I remember going on this every time we were at Universal. The outdoor and indoor queues were amazing!! The cars from the movie and the devastation inside. The minivan sticking out of the ceiling. 🤯🤯 And I ALWAYS forgot the floor dropped out at the end and I screamed every single time. 🤣❤️
Count myself very lucky I was able to experience this ride before it closed, twister was one of my favourite films growing up so this ride meant a lot to me.
They're replacing this with a 3D motion simulator ride, "Race Through New York with Jimmy Fallon". Yeah, because there aren't thousands of other intellectual properties that NBCUniversal owns that would have made for a better ride/experience than Jimmy Fallon. Give me a break. How about a ride/atttraction based on "John Carpenter's The Thing"? Look, I just pulled that out of thin air as an example. The mind boggles at inanity.
Jason Bacon it's all about money. There are undoubtedly a lot of fans of John carpenter, but the tonight show with Fallon boasts ten times as many fans. That, and it isn't aggressively scary.... but goofy and fun for the family. Again, it's a money thing
they'll probably only show Manhattan as a new Yorker people often forget that the Bronx exists! it'll just be the same old crap everyone sees when they think New York not the real diversity and culture
I probably will not return to Universal Studios. I loathe Harry Potter and with the removal of two cinematic icons in Twister and Jaws, I have no real interest in returning. I had planned on going in 2019. Perhaps we'll visit the Islands of Adventure side and Disney World.
I rode Twister for the last time in 2015 for our Grad Bash. It’s still unbelievable to me it’s gone. The first ride that I saw go and be replaced was Back to the Future when The Simpson’s ride took its place
This will always be a classic. Damn shame they replaced this. The way they transitioned from the CGI Twister into the fog twister was unbelievable. Super smooth transition. Gets me every time. Never gets old. Tell me I'm wrong.
Twister is one of my all time favorite movies. I was 8 when it was released and I've watched it at least once a year ever since; usually during a thunderstorm, lol. Too bad this isn't there anymore, would love to have seen it when we go there in June.
I first went to this ride back in 2005 and 2006 and loved it! That giant tall funnel cloud of the tornado reminded me of a small sample of one at a museum I went. One thing that was ironic and iconic was the damaged Aunt Meg’s house that I wouldn’t have known about. And when the winds blew and the sirens went on before moving into the next room was like the tornado is coming back to finish the job. It felt crazy, but something worth while. I’ll miss Twister: Ride it Out, but with some TH-cam videos I can always come back and enjoy.
This was my first taste of trauma as a small child. My sister almost dropped me while watching it and then teased me for being shaken to the core at tornadoes and anything cow or even natural disaster related in any media for years afterwards Thanks sis
man that section of the preshow when you walk through the destroyed house right before the final show is one of the most inspired pre show ques ever made. Even better than E.T. During the video you can look out one of the windows and see the tornado building and getting closer, and then when Bill paxton says "hold on for your life" The tornado is right there, the lights flicker off and the tornado siren cuts on. Chills everytime.
Hoping Universal does a revival of this ride with the sequel coming out soon. Would love to see this sort of practical experience done with modern attraction technology.
I rode that ride in 2013 on my Senior year trip. I love it. I feel like I'm living with a tornado 🌪 that wrecked through the town. Seeing the damage while walking through before the ride, I couldn't imagine how much the twister would do this damage. During the ride, I have to hold on my hat, my mom, my brother, and my things because it feels like a twister is right in front of us, the roof and everything. They're not wrong, twisters is very powerful and stronger than a hurricane. I miss this ride. Hopefully one day we'll bring it back. That's the ride I'll never forget on my Senior year trip
I just realized... I went to this i think in 2007 when i was a kid and every time i ever thought about surviving a tornado.. i remember the guy tying a belt to himself to a metal pole to survive and to come and find out it was because of this ride
Back when Universal rides used to be an amazing experience like no other! ❤️ even the line leading up to it is one of a kind! Attention to detail is truly impressive! That car coming through the top of the ceiling with the rotating tire, always amazes me beyond belief!
Twister and Jaws will always be some of my favorite all-time rides. That said - business decisions are made and I absolutely love Diagon Alley and hopefully Fallon too!
I was so young when first experienced this ride. The gift shop was amazing, I got a "Twister" cup, and I loved it. Broke shortly after. The concept is still being used today but back then it was the first and only of its kinda. It was a 20 dollars cup that when you push a button there was a spinning flap that created a whirlpool effect, giving an illusion of a tornado in your cup.
I'm so happy I was able to experience this before it was taken away. The video does this ride no justice, the power of that simulated tornado is something to behold. And the ride does a real tornado no justice.
It’s a damn shame they got rid of this. I love stuff that’s like this, showing you how they made it and behind the scenes clips. While afterwards giving you a live mock demonstration afterwards! Never got to see it in person, I’ve never even been to Universal Orlando. Wish I had though. I’ve heard the new Jimmy Fallon attraction isn’t even that good from a friend who went recently.
It was an awesome attraction. Not only was it a lot of fun, but you got a nice breeze and a spritzing of water during the show. It was great on those scorcher days.
First, love how they kept the Shining in the background lol! Second, I live in tornado alley so if I would’ve ever gone to this attraction I would’ve loved the movie references and the actors explaining how tornadoes are a natural disaster ranging from just enough wind to bring down some tree branches and knock power out a little bit to demolishing an entire town taking several hundred victims along its path. I live less than an hour away from Joplin, MO. I saw the tornado. I’ve been in tornadoes, each spring going through the lovely tornado watches/warnings. So the tornado experience at the end would’ve been a little on the silly side for me but appreciate the awareness especially to those who live in an area where tornadoes never happen or are extremely rare.
I hope the new movie is popular enough to give them an excuse to bring this attraction back. With a more modern city street and even better effects (and maybe some 4d stuff like the Disaster! experience ride they used to have). Twister was the coolest thing they've ever had and I was heartbroken when it got replaced. I know it was outdated but it was SO AWESOME.
Fun Fact: During Halloween Horror nights 2014, the queue for the maze "Alien vs Predator" wound through the Twister queue. In the maze itself, they recreate the scene from Aliens where Bill Paxton's character gets pulled through a floor grate by a xenomorph.
it was a good house, which was better than the Hollywood version that resembles AvP Requiem. The Orlando house was highly influenced after Aliens (including some elements from the DS game Aliens Infestation)
figment1988 Hell yeah! Shame they didn't have a Queen xeno puppet, but oh well. I also wished that I had downloaded the Aliens Motion Tracker app on my phone for that maze.
I remember going to this as a kid and thinking it was completely real. Scared the crap out of me, it’s crazy how real these immersion experiences are to a child.

@@CivWarThor I guess I will. Sorry to break it to you Javi B, but this experience may or may not have been replaced with a ride which may or may not have what you just mentioned…
This guy gets it
They used real disaster effected artifacts in the queue! The can was actually in a real tornado!
One of the best movies ever made. Seeing Bill Paxton give the into brought tears to my eyes.
Replacing Twister with Jimmy Fallon? I think Hudson said it best:
“Game over, man! Game over!”
Yuki Izumiya omg aliens
Bill Paxton is the only known actor who was killed by a Terminator, a Xenomorph, and a Predator.
I’m so happy I found this! It’s so disappointing that they got rid of this! I went to Disney and Universal with my family when I was 5. This was and is my favorite movie, I’ve been obsessed with tornadoes since I was a little kid. I remember being so excited to go on this “ride” but it absolutely terrified me! I don’t remember everything that it showed but I remember the tornado just shooting down super fast from the sky right in front of us. I started screaming and crying. My brother picked me up, held me in his arms (still my hero to this day) and carried me out at the end lol. It’s my dream to chase tornadoes one day. Shout out to all my fellow storm chasers and RIP Bill Paxton, “The Extreme.”
Your shout out has been heard:) If this is still your dream, I can help you get there.
@@StormChaserMaci. I think it will be my dream for the rest of my life. :) What is the best path to take?
“By the end there’s only one thing you can do…Hold on for your life.”
That moment absolutely TERRIFIED me as a kid. The cold delivery met with the static fuzz of the TV, yeah that was nightmare inducing. I remember distinctly being intrigued before that moment, then as soon as that part came on, instant fear and tears. As a child, this was absolutely one of the most thrilling and terrifying experiences at Universal Studios. Truly like nothing else.
Man I miss those experiences and rides at Universal, nothing compares to it.
Outrageous that they replaced this with a Jimmy Fallon ride... WTF
He probably paid them an outrageous tone of money it is ridiculous but money talks
Yeah...its fucked up. lmao pathetic
Right, I was so disappointed when I went to universal to see that this attraction no longer exists.
They got rid of it?! And here I was hoping to go to this again because I remember how scared it made me as a kid.
Ikr? Jimmy doesn't even come close to the awesomeness and raw intensity as Twister.
Thank you for sharing this. I cried a little. The ride is now gone and so is Bill. Glad I was able to make it one time to experience this.
We've lost Twister and Jaws, but ET still remains!! Let's all hope it stays with us for a while longer.
Edit 2022: The woody woodpecker area around ET is getting a modern overhaul! What do yal think it's gonna look like?
I can't believe they're changing it with a Jimmy Fallon thing, looking at it made me want to punch it down
What do you mean? Why did they take it down
TheSpicyPotatoe it was old
+TheSpicyPotatoe universal can make more money
+Keaton Knippel Are they really going to take ET down?!
Someone: "Hey! Let's go on this ride!"
Me: *curls up in a little ball and rocks back and fourth*
Im hoping and praying that the new Twisters movie will bring this back
this makes me cry because i can barely remember the ride from memory alone but seeing this being archived forever in the internet brings me joy that i can relive those happy memories again. thank you for this
I only experienced this once when I was very young and I thought I remembered it until I found this video and I was dead wrong lmao
I’m so sad that I never got the chance to experience this ride 😭💔 Twister is my favorite movie of all time and I love Bill Paxton! May he Rest In Peace ❤️🙏🏻
It's sad that he's gone and the ride is gone. Cause it's 2022 and I would stand in line for this. Rip sexy vampire man.
I'm here because:
1 - I love "Twister".
2 - I saw this attraction while watching "Sharknado 3". LOL.
Sadly I’m here today for the same reason 🤣
Clayton Luce SHARKNADOOO ( guitar) ( guitar)
Twister Ride it Out was on Sharknado 3 Oh hell no
How relatable.
This Old attraction at Universal Studios Florida just proves how powerful a tornado can be. Experiencing this ride is just as good or as near as experiencing a tornado warning in reality. And it just proves how powerful they can be in reality if you think you can overestimate the tornado. They did a phenomenal job with this attraction I still can’t believe they took it down and I never even had a chance to experience it. But I can see from the main show in this video that they did a really magnificent job and made the ride look very realistic. I loved how the projected tornado tore up the movie screen in the beginning. I also loved it when the glass shattered and all things that you’d expect a tornado to do.
I've been in an actual 🌪️ it's scary 😬😳😟😭
Connie Elliott What was the Funnel Cloud like? And what was it like specifically more then just Scary? Because I wanna see one in person but from the far

Bill Paxton was so epic in the pre-show for this! God I miss that man! ❤
They (need) to bring this ride back now. Theres way too many people upset about it being removed. Universal has left many heart broken takeing Twister away from us. Twister is still one of the all-time loved weather movies in the world.
plus back to the feature was replaced with simpsons

Rip Bill Paxton. He’ll be forever missed and loved by everyone and me.
Man, I loved this ride when I was a kid, and I'll admit, I got absolutely intimidated and scared shitless when the tornado started to approach from the background. It was mostly something about how much larger it looked than when it actually appeared in front of us that struck a chord with me. Overall, it was a great ride and I'm sad that it's gone because I had such a good first experience with it.
This ride was awesome! RIP Bill Paxton 🙏🏻
The twister was definitely one of those rides that makes you feel as though you’re part of the movie or even in real life. I’m thinking oh my goodness this is scary even though it’s a ride am I gonna get whisked away by the twister I mean I’m like 13 or 14 years old I got a whole life ahead of me but again I find the ride amazing to ride.
The nostalgia is strong here!! Twister is my moms favorite movie. I remember going on this every time we were at Universal. The outdoor and indoor queues were amazing!! The cars from the movie and the devastation inside. The minivan sticking out of the ceiling. 🤯🤯 And I ALWAYS forgot the floor dropped out at the end and I screamed every single time. 🤣❤️
I used to love this ride as a kid. So sad to hear they closed it. RIP Bill Paxton🌷
RIP to another brilliant, classic attraction
I totally fell in love with this side show / ride! Rest in peace, Bill Paxton!
Core memory. Just watched twisters and wanted to show my family this ride, I wish my children would have had the opportunity to ride!
Count myself very lucky I was able to experience this ride before it closed, twister was one of my favourite films growing up so this ride meant a lot to me.
I just found out the sad news that they got rid of the Twister Ride (I live in England, so). This was one of my favourite rides of all time there!
I know im a year too late, but same. This is one of my main childhood memories :(
Don’t you mean show
I feel so bad for you 😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Rip
@@ajurassicfan9557 How is it a show? It doesn't have performers etc., so...
They're replacing this with a 3D motion simulator ride, "Race Through New York with Jimmy Fallon". Yeah, because there aren't thousands of other intellectual properties that NBCUniversal owns that would have made for a better ride/experience than Jimmy Fallon. Give me a break.
How about a ride/atttraction based on "John Carpenter's The Thing"? Look, I just pulled that out of thin air as an example. The mind boggles at inanity.
They're trying to bring the area back to its New York theme, and I guess Jimmy Fallon was the first thing they thought of
Jason Bacon f paat
Jason Bacon it's all about money. There are undoubtedly a lot of fans of John carpenter, but the tonight show with Fallon boasts ten times as many fans. That, and it isn't aggressively scary.... but goofy and fun for the family.
Again, it's a money thing
I just got back from UOR. I can decree that the Jimmy Fallon ride is boring and godawful.
they'll probably only show Manhattan as a new Yorker people often forget that the Bronx exists! it'll just be the same old crap everyone sees when they think New York not the real diversity and culture
i was one of this ride's last customers
I probably will not return to Universal Studios. I loathe Harry Potter and with the removal of two cinematic icons in Twister and Jaws, I have no real interest in returning. I had planned on going in 2019. Perhaps we'll visit the Islands of Adventure side and Disney World.
Da Lime same
I rode Twister for the last time in 2015 for our Grad Bash. It’s still unbelievable to me it’s gone. The first ride that I saw go and be replaced was Back to the Future when The Simpson’s ride took its place
This will always be a classic. Damn shame they replaced this. The way they transitioned from the CGI Twister into the fog twister was unbelievable. Super smooth transition. Gets me every time. Never gets old. Tell me I'm wrong.
Twister is one of my all time favorite movies. I was 8 when it was released and I've watched it at least once a year ever since; usually during a thunderstorm, lol. Too bad this isn't there anymore, would love to have seen it when we go there in June.
I love the movie Twister is what inspired me to be a storm spotter all of my life
I've been a Storm spotter for going on 11 years now and I'll be doing it till I can't anymore 💙
Wish they would use this for horror nights.
OH MY GOD. SAME. THAT WOULD BE PERF.
it doesnt even look scary
@@julioalvarenga8608 No…..I mean to actually walk through this whole scene as a moment thing….or like a show involving this set….
@@Oakenquest huh
I first went to this ride back in 2005 and 2006 and loved it! That giant tall funnel cloud of the tornado reminded me of a small sample of one at a museum I went. One thing that was ironic and iconic was the damaged Aunt Meg’s house that I wouldn’t have known about. And when the winds blew and the sirens went on before moving into the next room was like the tornado is coming back to finish the job. It felt crazy, but something worth while. I’ll miss Twister: Ride it Out, but with some TH-cam videos I can always come back and enjoy.
This was my first taste of trauma as a small child. My sister almost dropped me while watching it and then teased me for being shaken to the core at tornadoes and anything cow or even natural disaster related in any media for years afterwards
Thanks sis
Something about hearing Bill Paxton's voice brings a tear to my eye. Bill and Seymour you will be missed.
I remember back in the 80's and 90's when this was a Ghostbusters attraction.

Bill Paxton unfortunately died yesterday. RIP
@Kylie Warren you're 7... where are your parents?
@Kylie Warren sorry you can't have a TH-cam account you're not old enough.
He died because of neutral problem's
That's when I was 7
NIC TOO LOOSE dang then you’re 9... is there anyone at least 13 here? 😂
RIP Bill Paxton. What an amazing movie.
man that section of the preshow when you walk through the destroyed house right before the final show is one of the most inspired pre show ques ever made. Even better than E.T.
During the video you can look out one of the windows and see the tornado building and getting closer, and then when Bill paxton says "hold on for your life" The tornado is right there, the lights flicker off and the tornado siren cuts on. Chills everytime.
Ugh, I miss this ride! "Ride the movies", they made sure you felt like you were actually on set! Incredible ride experience! RIP Twister.
You guys don't think this is scary, go to Kansas, Oklahoma, Nebraska, the Dakotas, or Texas during text months of March, April, May, and June.
Manly Chapa or illinois
As cool as this was its nothing compared to the real thing
Nebraska is a good one, weather changes every 5 minutes
Collars & Coffee Co. Hell yeah it does
yeah these ppl dont know how scary and dangeres these things rilly are i live in texas and we get tornados all the time and they are friking scary
I love how at the end, you drop. I miss this ride.

Yep sad to see the ride go.

Heartbreaking the fact this was removed, watching this brought me to tears, so incredibly ICONIC!!
6:12 LOVE the shot at Disney with the hidden Mickey Ears spinning with the tire. Reminds me of the hat in the water at Jurassic Park River Adventure
Bill Paxton was one of the most awe inspiring sights one could witness in nature, full of majesty...and mystery.
RIP Bill Paxton 😢
Christi S Don’t forget Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
Hoping Universal does a revival of this ride with the sequel coming out soon. Would love to see this sort of practical experience done with modern attraction technology.
I rode that ride in 2013 on my Senior year trip. I love it. I feel like I'm living with a tornado 🌪 that wrecked through the town. Seeing the damage while walking through before the ride, I couldn't imagine how much the twister would do this damage. During the ride, I have to hold on my hat, my mom, my brother, and my things because it feels like a twister is right in front of us, the roof and everything. They're not wrong, twisters is very powerful and stronger than a hurricane. I miss this ride. Hopefully one day we'll bring it back. That's the ride I'll never forget on my Senior year trip
Oh how I miss the 90s Universal Studios Florida! Thanks for posting !
I wish it didn't close down when I went to Orlando. it's my fave movie Bill Paxton was in. I was so sad to hear he passed away.
I never experienced this, but it looks awesome! Thanks Jimmy Fallon, you've just given me yet another reason to hate you.
I just realized... I went to this i think in 2007 when i was a kid and every time i ever thought about surviving a tornado.. i remember the guy tying a belt to himself to a metal pole to survive and to come and find out it was because of this ride
Back when Universal rides used to be an amazing experience like no other! ❤️ even the line leading up to it is one of a kind! Attention to detail is truly impressive! That car coming through the top of the ceiling with the rotating tire, always amazes me beyond belief!
This is my favorite movie of all time. I remember watching this in theater as a kid. I'm so sad I never got to experience this😢
did anyone else get chills when Bill Paxton started to talk?
I still loved that one part with the car hanging from the ceiling.
Twister and Jaws will always be some of my favorite all-time rides. That said - business decisions are made and I absolutely love Diagon Alley and hopefully Fallon too!
Dr E.T. Diagon Alley is good, Fallon, not so much :/
I remember going to this in 2000 for my 7th birthday. Love this movie
Miss this ride, so good going on this as a kid!
I was so young when first experienced this ride. The gift shop was amazing, I got a "Twister" cup, and I loved it. Broke shortly after. The concept is still being used today but back then it was the first and only of its kinda. It was a 20 dollars cup that when you push a button there was a spinning flap that created a whirlpool effect, giving an illusion of a tornado in your cup.
They need to bring this ride back for the second movie. It'd be way more immersive, and nostalgic for people who went on the first on.
Rip Bill Paxton you are missed!! Game over man!
I'm so happy I was able to experience this before it was taken away.
The video does this ride no justice, the power of that simulated tornado is something to behold.
And the ride does a real tornado no justice.
This ride does a real tornado no justice size wise. I've witnessed real storms with my own eyes. I went through TWISTER "Ride it out" long ago.
glad these rides have been preserved on video, wish most were in 4k+ 360 degree. good times, good memories i can still kinda enjoy.
It’s a damn shame they got rid of this. I love stuff that’s like this, showing you how they made it and behind the scenes clips. While afterwards giving you a live mock demonstration afterwards! Never got to see it in person, I’ve never even been to Universal Orlando. Wish I had though. I’ve heard the new Jimmy Fallon attraction isn’t even that good from a friend who went recently.
THATS what they got rid of this for??? Omg I hate him even more. A talk show > a whole ass movie.
@@elbarto9633 lmfaooo fr, the ride was not worth taking this out it isnt even that good imo
It was an awesome attraction. Not only was it a lot of fun, but you got a nice breeze and a spritzing of water during the show. It was great on those scorcher days.
Rest In Peace Bill Paxton
Twister is the best disaster movie ever. They should’ve not replaced this attraction
time for TWISTERS!
First, love how they kept the Shining in the background lol! Second, I live in tornado alley so if I would’ve ever gone to this attraction I would’ve loved the movie references and the actors explaining how tornadoes are a natural disaster ranging from just enough wind to bring down some tree branches and knock power out a little bit to demolishing an entire town taking several hundred victims along its path. I live less than an hour away from Joplin, MO. I saw the tornado. I’ve been in tornadoes, each spring going through the lovely tornado watches/warnings. So the tornado experience at the end would’ve been a little on the silly side for me but appreciate the awareness especially to those who live in an area where tornadoes never happen or are extremely rare.
THIS IS WHAT I MISS ABOUT ATTRACTIONS!!! Being able to actually EXPERIENCE and be apart of the ride or show itself!
I hope the new movie is popular enough to give them an excuse to bring this attraction back. With a more modern city street and even better effects (and maybe some 4d stuff like the Disaster! experience ride they used to have). Twister was the coolest thing they've ever had and I was heartbroken when it got replaced. I know it was outdated but it was SO AWESOME.
Exactly what I was thinking. Only the biggest shame is Bill Paxton is gone :(
yeah
Fun Fact: During Halloween Horror nights 2014, the queue for the maze "Alien vs Predator" wound through the Twister queue. In the maze itself, they recreate the scene from Aliens where Bill Paxton's character gets pulled through a floor grate by a xenomorph.
it was a good house, which was better than the Hollywood version that resembles AvP Requiem. The Orlando house was highly influenced after Aliens (including some elements from the DS game Aliens Infestation)
figment1988 Hell yeah! Shame they didn't have a Queen xeno puppet, but oh well. I also wished that I had downloaded the Aliens Motion Tracker app on my phone for that maze.
I remember going on this ride when I was like around 6 and cried the whole time
Was I the only that cried during this age???
@@aliruelopezno i cried
My family and I went to Universal Studios in 03. I this was definitely an experience to never forget!!
I wish it was still there. It was my favorite. 😢
