This makes me wicked sad. As much as I didnt go out of my way to ride Twister, it's still sad that they are closing all the original rides.
+kayleighkill But Twister wasn't an Original ride, Ghostbusters use to be there until 1997 when Twister arrived.. But yes still sad to see it go, I hope JImmy is good ride, otherwise it will be huge bummer for it to be replaced.
Aie Dail Ghostbusters closed when I was still living in California! By the time I moved here to Florida, Twister was already there, so its almost like it was the only ride I've ever known there. :)
+Roman Speaks Jimmy is in NBC Universal. If you get my point
Roman Speaks everybody brings hype to something about something about to close
Kayleigh Kill yah like jaws
Rest In Peace Bill Paxton...
Jamie_Jewel 😟😔😢😭
daniel brockman yea
The fact that there aren't any Twister Easter eggs on the Jimmy Fallon ride, like all the TV monitors turning into a tornado warning or something is really depressing.
BetweenTheLyons there’s an Easter egg hidden from public view on the back of the building, the delivery shutters are themed with the text “warning: *twister* inside” on the front
The blue shirt Paxton wore in the preshow videos is seen in one of the windows out front, hanging on a hook.
There actually are. Outside in two of the windows. The first one has Bill Paxton's blue shirt. The second has a Calendar that says "Twister Cola."
First Back to the Future then Jaws and Twister. I'm so sad.
dollofvoodoo and King Kong
dollofvoodoo jaws was worth it we got Harry Potter
And jimmy neutrons nicktoon blast
Nooooooooo not jaws!
Ikr, are they going to remove Simpsons or Men In Black next? I mean seriously. All they keep doing is adding simulator rides with the same track style or cart style as prior ones (Transformers near same as spider man, harry potter grigotts less exciting Mummy, etc.). Also it's not like they don't have the room with the huge unused area of old nickelodeon studios. Let's just hope they don't try to "revamp" Mummy to that "mission impossible versus the enchantress" bs there releasing. After Fast And The Furious they need to not remove anything, and get a RMC coaster (it'd be the first in florida and honestly they could use a new coaster, grigotts is more of a track ride and when even was the prior).
EVERY BODY GATHER AROUND, WE MUST PROTECT THE ONLY SOUL OF UNIVERSAL LEFT, The good old E.T, so who is with me!!!
TheYellowMonkey actually, Jurassic Park, E.T, and all of Seuss Land are all that's left of the original parks. We gotta protect those
TheYellowMonkey im here too 🔫🏹⛏🔪🗡🛠🔧🔩🔗🔨💉💊🛢🛡
TheDinoSir Technically E.T is the only original ride since Jurassic Park and Seuss Landing are in IOA which opened after Universal.
E.T. is in the far back corner of the park - probably works for and against it because it's not an ideal lot for a new ride but at the same time people probably don't go to it enough to appreciate how awesome it is
Ill be catching it monday next week... long live ET
Typical. Another classic attraction closed in favor of adding yet another super shitty simulator. SMFH
Dreaklock Technically this ride was a simulation of a twister
It's a lot better than staring at a screen. This whole ride, from the queue to the actual in -rid effects were really cool. It's a damn travesty they got rid of it.
Hey. The Jimmy Fallon ride was good. It was the last time I went to Universal...
Hayden Wyrick no it wasnt it was boring
Hayden Wyrick nah, it had no affects
They closed this for Jimmy Fallon... what is wrong with them?
Big mistake. Jimmy Fallon isn't a movie!
My grandpa helped with the construction on the town
Nathan sick my dude
that sucks
krebs's fish how old r u?
has your grandpa passed away?
krebs's fish sorry for your loss. do u know how old he was when he passed away?
They need to keep creating rides that have live action. I miss Jaws and Twister. Terminator will be next and it will be sad to see go aswell.
You're right. Terminator is gone. Another mistake Universal made.
Man I remember going on that ride. I was in 6th grade and I was awestruck on how well it was made. Given I never saw the movie it made me want to see it so badly, but funny thing happened when I came back home from the field trip and my mom picked me up from school she had the movie on VHS at home if I wanted to see it during the weekend and I was like " mom I just experienced that movie of course I'm going to watch it" man that was one of my best childhood experiences ever.
😂
Really sad watching this after Bill Paxton's death. Wish they would've kept the ride.
Abigail Cunningham they took this out before his death
Twister scared me so bad as a kid. But still, sad to see it go. Next Halloween, be Bill Paxton and talk like him the whole night ;)
Samantha Anderson and so is this loud noise at 13:38!!! That scared the crap out of me!!! XD
Even if I was TERRIFIED when I went on this, I will always miss the flying cow that got caught up in the twister 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️😭
Nicole AJ
Yeah🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
RIP Bill Paxton.
Honestly, this thrill attraction had SO MUCH potential. Can you imagine if Epcot tried something better, where the studio did something along the lines of using controlled high wind speeds, probably within the 100-160mph range, which would simulate winds of an EF 1 - 3? Just imagine how educational the experience could be if they explained how tornadoes really work and act in real life scenarios. Especially after the world has experienced something that not even Hollywood could think of: The El Reno tornado of 2013...a freak tornado over 2 miles wide, largest ever recorded.
I was there for El Riño. 2.6 mile wide beast with winds over 300mph. That tornado scared me. Haunts me to this day.
This was the first attraction I ever went on in universal. I had to be like 10 (2000)It was definitely memorable I enjoyed it very much!
I saw some people saying 3D was both cheaper and more immersive. I don't know about them, but I grew up with rides where the only 3D was in very few theaters and motion simulators and most everything else involved realistic props and animatronics. Let me tell you something. I have grown up sampling both types of rides and though 3D motion simulators ARE fun, they just can't replace the feeling of realism you get when you see the actual thing physically in front of you instead of just on a screen. This is why even though I hate Goblins, I find Gringotts very impressive in the waiting queue. There are the actual creepy little creatures right in front of you, writing or counting at their desks. You could touch them if there weren't any rules of theme park etiquette. ACTUALLY TOUCH them. But 3D is just an illusion on a screen that isn't really there in front of you. I think it takes away the realism. I find ride with real audio animatronics to be way more intriguing and amusing.
+Sierra Spencer im kind of surprised nobody has done hybrids. imo the lines for the Harry Potter rides are considerably better than the rides themselves. Spiderman was great when it opened, but now everything is just a copy of that.
it was actually pretty hard for me to watch this, would be hard for me to even go to this. why? ive been through a few tornadoes, just kinda triggers anxiety. i know, im a wuss. loved how they got all the little details added to this attraction.
harley mama Same here. I lived in Georgia for a little while, and we had 3 tornadoes. I mean, they didn't hit us directly, but they still happened. Oh, and also 2 hurricanes.
Trauma is real! Never apologize for things you didn’t cause and can’t control.
you're not a wuss!! it's understandable, don't worry 💗
Thank you, Twister: Ride it Out! (1998 - 2015)
R.I.P Bill Paxton :(
This was the ride that inspired me to study tornados as a kid
"Bill and I play as scientists"
me: BILL NYE THE SCIENCE GUY
The overwhelming amount of love for Twister in the makes me happy.
Congrats on 90,900!!! so close to 100,000! yay
13:09 Twister: The series Episode 1 Featuring special guest star: Mr. Moo
Wait, that was it? I know it was an old ride and all, but I was just actually getting scared and then... it... was over, it was kinda anti-climatic for me lol
I can't believe it's gone. I've only had the pleasure to ride twice when I was about 11. Being as I live in New York, I don't get to Florida often. So now I will never get to ride it again. It was my favorite.
Wow! This was the first thing I went on and I didn't realise it had closed!
No offense, but I kind of understand why they got rid of this ride. It was probably much cooler back in the day. But the videos that they showed hyped up the actual ride (if you can call it that) too much. I expected some type of ride that you can sit in and I thought you were going to travel through the town or the "twister". I think that would have been cooler.
kenicke579 I wish you could see the aftermath of one. That'd be cool.
The one thing was, The ride was delayed due to major problems, My uncle was lucky enough to ride the ride while it was not open to the public, And he keeps telling me the flames were hotter and higher, The twister was more brutal. And it was longer.
I remember this ride was supposed to open in early 1998, but due to actual tornadoes ripping through central Florida and killing some people the ride opening was delayed by a few months. Irony at it's unfortunate best. Thank you for posting this, it was an interesting experience. Can't believe it was there 17 years!!
1:38 I SEE A DIPPER HAT
Yeah... I’m kinda glad I didn’t ride that. It’d just feed my anxiety.
Its so hard for me to watch these vids, i wna be back :'(
Can't believe they replaced this with that Jimmy Fallon crap. And yet E.T. is still up, a rather lackluster ride based on a good property. I mean seriously. At least they've preserved Terminator, the best one there (well, besides the hollywood rip ride rockit and mummy, but I'm talking simulation/other unique attractions not coaster oriented). Seriously they could've just given it a big makeover with more info of what the movie was based off of, made it it a sit down ride, and made it more shaky and crazy with new stuff added in. "Twister: Retwisted" or "Twister: F5."
This might be three years too late,but as long at Steven Spielberg(idk how to spell his last name) is still alive they’re not gonna shut it down.
The fact that all the good and old rides are closing is just so sad
+Stefy Batres If a ride is not popular, a theme park has no other choice but to close it down. I've been going to Universal for years and I never saw Twister with over a 10 minute wait time. Most people literally walked right past it. So yeah it was definitely time for it to go.
Stefy 45213 i feel your pain
why do they keep throwing out the good rides?. first jaws, then king Kong "the original" and now twister?
Interesting how EF5s aren’t once-in-a-lifetime occurrences anymore.
They never were.
@@JCBro-yg8vd Yeah, that was some bullshit the movie threw out in order to make it feel more weighty. Of course, with the new Enhanced Fujita scale, it's a LOT harder for a tornado to be rated an EF-5. Even El-Reno was reduced to an EF-3, despite clear readings that placed it well in the EF-5 category.
If you look at the blueprints for the jimmy Fallon ride it looks stupid they have gotten rid of disaster,Twister. What's next ET ,Mummy,Jurassic park. I just can't believe that they got rid of this ride I did ride the final ride but why get rid of a AMAZING RIDE for a STUPID RIDE I don't understand I still and always will love universal but getting rid of classic rides for the whole family to stupid rides is a real low for them.imagine if they got rid of HHN that's how I feel when they get rid of classic rides. 😭
the mummy is still really popular i don't this they will get rid of it for a whole at least i hope not
Here's the difference between the rides they've been closing and rides like Mummy or Jurassic Park: the latter two were still really popular.
If you looked closely in this video, even on closing day, there was only a 10 minute wait for this ride.
Also, neither of them were there at opening.
Bill Paxton, you were an amazing actor who brought incredible skill and presence to every project you were in. You were the whole package and just gave all of yourself every time. Thank you for your amazing body of work, and for making the 1990's so memorable for me with films like Twister. You will be forever missed. 💔💔💔💔💔
Jimmy fallon? really
IKR LIKE WHY
WHY JIMMY FALLON?!?!?! I DONT WANT TO GO TO UNIVERSAL FOR CRUDDY JOKES....... I'm sorry I'm just really sad that this ride is closing
+TheYellowMonkey yeah? Will be a strange attraction? that's for sure. lol but who knows?
+jeff takesphotos Hopefully Jimmy doesn't screw up
+TheYellowMonkey he probably will? lol. A lot of people love him though?so? will see
Maysville Oklahoma and Paul’s valley is where they filmed most of it
It's so sad because the first time I went to universal studios I was 7 and it was my first attraction there so yeah😿😫😓😥😭😢
+Dilcia Ramos Same, it was my first ride there as well. It's sad to see it go but it was definitely past its prime.
I remember going to see Twister and it scared me as I was quite young when I saw it, sad that it is closing down, maybe they will build another in the future somewhere else...who knows?
Poppy flash they built a Jimmy Fallon ride twister been gone since 2015
what do they do with all the props from the rides????
+chris bailey trash or as props through out the theme park or sold at action I assume.
+Bryan George Yes they have an auction on NOV 17!
Stephanie Herrera Where is the auction?
Chris B I'm just waiting for somebody on eBay so sell the Back To The Future Ride for like, 40 bucks
I'm late, but there is a Universal prop shop! It is awesome! Right outside of Terminator. Williams of hollywood or something
Y universal y be disen on the old rides, especially the one based in Oklahoma #universalisadick
This is why I appreciate what you guys do! For 1, living out of town I get to relive exciting trips that I have been on. 2) Being that this ride no longer exists, I can go back and relive. 3) Always get to see Bill Paxton (rip). Thank you for your videos and all you do!!
Awww I haven't been since I was 8 but twister was one of the most memorable experiences so sad
The floor dropping at the end always had me shook
RIP BILL PAXTON
LOVE HIS MOVIES
ESPECIALLY THIS ONE💖
when you hear the sirens in real life, Its not fun it is scary!I live in Oklahoma, city out of Moore.
I know how you feel I grew up in ponca and have lived all over Oklahoma my entire life hearing those sirens all the okie storm watching jokes go out the window
I loved Twister.. it was one of my favorites at Universal. :(
bye Twister :( this was the very first ride I went on when i visited Universal for the first time back in 2006 or 2007 and my mind was BLOWN!!
All the original rides closing are SAD!!! I was there yesterday and tryn to explain to a 12 y/o how much fun the old rides were. Everything is 3D/4D animated, not as much fun anymore. Like if I get shaken one more time!!!! Lol
They should have just got rid of diaster not twister
+rugbyplayer9077 they've got rid of both now
+rugbyplayer9077 at least theyre putting fast and furious in the disaster queue.
Getting rid of that too -- gonna become Fast and the Furious Supercharged or whatever it's claled
*called
+Charlotte Phan PHAN PHAN PHANNNN
I was there that day, but I dressed up like Phillip Seymour Hoffman
Dusty!
Of course they’ll get rid of a ride like this but, put in some lame CGI, 3D show won’t they?
A true movie ride this is what Universal needs to bring back to its parks. Gone but never always in our memory as one of period when universal was a movie studio.
This is one of my all-time favorite attractions at Universal, I'm sad to see it go, but I'm really glad I got to experience it. I REALLY wish it stayed for one more year in time for my graduation trip. That was an amazing time.
"Think we will get wet?"
"YUPP!"
RIP bill Paxton,gone but never forgotten you will be dearly loved and missed by all who knew you fans,friends and loved ones may God bless,keep you safe till we meet again
I'm gonna miss this ride 😭😭
I rode this ride when I was young and I cried the whole time😂😂
Have been disappointed about this since it closed. Going to Universal as a kid rides like these made me love the park. Now, screen technology is the only thing Universal relies on, which is disappointing. Jimmy Fallon was a terribly shitty replacement.
As someone who never got to experience this this is SO much better than Jimmy Fallon. Jimmy is such a boring ride we usually only go on if we need to rest our feet.
Is it true what they said that when they started filming real twisters apeared south of the set?
Not gonna lie the only rides at universal I like are the coasters, all the other "simulator" ones (at least the ones that exists now) are kinda lame, only because the effects move to slow
13:10 here comes Mia the flying cow!
Thank you for recording this! So cool to have this memory of something that was awesome but Is no longer there!
where all the tornadoes happened in ok my husband and my dad drove through all that when my dad n husband got home they kissed the ground then took a big crap
RIP Bill Paxton =(
This ride looked like fun! Sad I never got to experience it. And lmao at the cow and the cheering! 🤣
I road the ride long time ago an why are they taking rides out now
Aww so sad that it has to leave I went there when I was little! :( and I'm 12 now ! It's been so long that I went to that ride
Why is there a guy wearing a dipper hat?
it's sad seen this video reminds me of all the good times I had riding this beautiful ride
Fun fact. I had an anxiety attack when I went through this
Twister for Jimmy Fallon :-(
this movie freaked me out as a kid cause we get a lot of tornadoes in my area lol
I gotta go, Julia. We got cows.
Thanks for posting this. I rode it 18 years ago and sadly we didn't get pictures or video because you really just didn't much back then. I loved that ride and so glad I can see a video. It's sad they closed it down.
Why does this remind me of the rockin rollercoaster at Hollywood studios?
someone should have booted the people not dressed up out of the picture
I got a chance to experience that in 2011, when I got to spend a whole day at Universal. Went on it at least 5 times because I loved the movie. I'm sad to hear that no one can no longer experience it anymore. Great footage, and my respects to Bill Paxton who passed away a few days ago.
I'm glad to have had the honor to ride Twister in the summer of 2015. One helluva ride.
does anyone one know what movie was being played in the background when the tornado was going through the movie screen on the ride ? ... i know in the original movie they played the shinning
Francesca Valencia "The People Under The Stairs"
my favorite movie.. sad I never got to experience this ride
I can think of only one thing to say....'Thanks, Will Smith.'
bendundidit will smith?
noooooooooooooooooooooo they closed twister i love that ride so much
i was there i sat on the tractor wheel
HA! So, apparently, this is nobody's first time on this attraction as there are so many shouts and cheers. Lol! Meanwhile, here I sit almost two years after you recorded this video, watching wide-eyed, with my mouth hanging open between sips of tea, wishing I had had the opportunity to enjoy this attraction while it was in the park. (I've probably seen the movie about 11 times; definitely a classic!) Great footage and thanks so much for sharing it!
When you realize your in love with Bill Paxton's son James Paxton who plays Lukas Waldenbeck in Eyewitness 😍👏🏻
I honestly think Universal/Islands has enough simulator rides.... The Simpsons, Spider-Man, Transformers, Harry Potter escape from Gringotts, Harry Potter and the forbidden journey.... and we all know Race through New York is going to be another simulator because well we can literally race through New York.... Can't we get something like not simulatory this time hopefully?
Thanks for showing this. The last time I was at USF was February 1995 so I never even got to experience it myself. I did go to Islands of Adventure in December 2000 and July 2004. Hopefully I can go back again someday.
R.I.P Twister you will be love forever ;(
This ride is why i have a phobia of storms....
Thanks mom :)
we miss you twister i will Remember what i wtach the movie of it😢😢
we miss you twsiter i will remember that i wach the moive😭😭😭😭
We've only managed to go to USO twice as we live in Texas. Our first trip there 5 years ago we got to go on Twister, but this summer when we went of course it's not there anymore. It was fun for myself and my kiddos. Sad that it's gone, but we live in Texas......real tornadoes will have to do. (I've actually seen and recorded 2 tornadoes in recent years. The videos are on my channel)
Wow. I'm glad I was able to go on this one last time in 2013. Ironically the first time I went in this ride I was only 6 and it scared me for life of tornadoes. I had nightmares for years just because of it. Going back in 2013 as an older teenager was really cool and helped alleviate some of those inner fears as I recognized it was just special effects. Still scared of actual tornadoes though.
#RIPTwister
I loved this movie, and I missed the ride when it was open. It's just classic cheese.
Also, love the Bill Paxton/Helen Hunt cosplay.
And it was the movie that made me have a giant crush on Helen Hunt. Seriously, that woman played all the romantic comedies in 1990.
That is a LOT OF PRE-SHOW to sit through. Seriously, two introductions to the attraction. But probably because everything needs to be reset.
