And they replaced this with a cheap Fast and Furious simulator?
Yup! This ride was so much better.
It’s closin cuz it was bad
@@PilotCristina New Ride Fast & Furious: Supercharged Coming To Universal Orlando Resort Opening Spring 2018
Well id rather have FAF rather than that disaster!!!
The Fast and Furious ride is really good, but so was this
HAHAHAH I JUST REALIZED THEY MAKE THE KID LOOK AT A ROCK WHEN FILMING BECAUSE IN THE FINAL MOVIE HES LOOKING AT “The Rock” HAHAHA
When
@@andreaplascencia4786 18:40
*that moment you realize that you have been on a extinct iconic ride*
Mike Johnson what? Are you an idiot?
Lol
Same, I REALLY didn't want to go on this when I was there a while ago, but now that it's closed I am glad I did
It was my favorite ride but then they replaced by fast and furious so now velocicoster is my favorite
The rods looka boring they should have made it disaster the ride
This ride was such a masterpiece.
I'll never get to make a B-movie directed by Christopher Walken and starring the Rock with my other friends. Sadness...
sithlordsoup IKR
Mike Johnson. Disaster
@@loikids3160 its bad cuz you only want thrill rides huh?
@@loikids3160 if you're talking about what replaced this and Beetlejuice Show then yes. I know you what you mean.
This ride was absolutely incredible. Sad to see all these memories disappearing at Universal.
Man I’m a bout to cry.
Not if the Past Restorer and the Retro Decade Revival Project is gonna bring them back.
And now Shrek 4D was on the chopping block…
@@disneyparksstarwarslover7638 I prefer the Hitchcock attraction.
Yeah, wish it would stay because I never went to this ride. EVER.
Lol my mother was one of the "actors" on the ride when we went. She was the gardening lady and she kept being called a grandma even though she isn't and doesn't look like one
Korie Niekrasz
Lol! I went there years years ago, and my great grandmother was the gardening lady too! She got strucked by lightning i believe. Ugh, i hate it that they're shutting down their iconic rides for some 3-D crap. It makes me sad and nostalgic that theyre closing them down.. Ugh. The only one worth riding is terminator and shrek.. But that closed down becuase it was hella outdated soo... Yeah. Sad. Hopefully rhey bring us something better in the future..
Roxyx my grandmother was the gardening lady too and I was the screaming person in the ball pit. It was HYSTERICAL 😂
Korie Niekrasz my sis when I was a kid was one of the “actors” she wore a Poncho and she fell on a road and I loved it I miss this ride😿😿😿😿
They asked for a glamorous granny. My son-in-law and grandsons volunteered me, so how could I refuse? It was absolutely brilliant. X
Man universal are killing their iconic rides left and right. last year it was jaws now this. I guarantee the next ride to go is the E.T. Adventure.
I dont think so, if they do Steven Spielberg will cancel his contract with the park,
Yep. Went there with my wife on honeymoon this January and was so upset that most of the rides I knew had gone in favour of 4d Theatre crap.
i doubt it, it just closed to for a refurbishment and is set to open again in june.
DangerDoo
well you were wrong..it was T2 3d that went.
That woman did not miss a beat when talking she needs a raise
Lol what if an actual disaster happened during this ride..
"Oh no folks, don't worry, its just part of the ride!"
*ha ha*
I don't know???????
purplebug I would be horrified
@@MoonstruckProvinceFilmworks yeah, because if what happened on this ride actually happened in real life...
Well, then you might as well bend over and kiss your own @$$ goodbye because You're pretty much screwed at that point.
Unless you got extremely lucky to survive it
At least that what my mom told me...
What is little kids actually thought this was real?
I was the kid actor in the ride and it was one of the best memories! Wish they still had it :(
everytime i’m sad or miss this ride i watch this, thank you for documenting this masterpiece of a ride so well, it’s like i’m almost there again 🥺
Even though I don't think I've ever been on this, it's quite sad to see go for something like a Fast and Furious attraction.. I get that they're updating with the times but it just seems like the original vision of Universal Studios is fading away. There's no place in the world to get rides like backlot tours and these super cool attractions(Twister included) so to see them go is pretty sad, especially since if they were to redo this attraction now, they could probably make it 100x cooler and more realistic with the effects of today. I get why they have to do something like Fast and Furious because it sells, but it's just a shame it's at the cost of some really interesting attractions.
All the 3D stuff with screens is shit compared to this!
This is why Disney is superior... like I love universal and all especially the Harry Potter and Spider-Man rides but god the simulations are boring. Spider-Man and Transformers literally have the same ride mechanic. Disney has a variety with rollercoasters, family friendly rides, old rides, new rides, etc. that’s why Disney is a family favorite more than universal. Universal focuses more on being with the times instead of focusing on the real magic put into these rides.
There is still the disaster ride in the Hollywood tour ride in Universal Studio Hollywood, might wanna visit that one, it’s not as good as the Florida one but it is identical.
@@babysapling1717 Tbh, I think Disney Parks also shoot themselves on foot as well in terms of new ride ideas. A lot of people think that the new rides they were planning are now cash grabs instead of actually great rides. You can still like Disney, I'm not saying you must hate Disney. I'm just saying that they've gone... yeah, bad also in terms of guest experiences.
I remember this ride. I was terrified since I was young but it was so interesting and cool with the effects. Why would they take this down??? I'm 13 now and I wanted to come back to this place :(
Wait, they took it down?
Fisher Bros. Yeah they replaced it for fast and furious supercharged which is a horrible ride I miss disaster
Toilet water flood subway and semi truck destroyed subway
LOL, what do you do with all the old Jaws molds? Throw a rocket engine on one and use it for another rides prop. 1:43
This movie had some of the best special effects I’ve ever seen in a theme park ride and it is a shame they replaced this AND beetlejuice with fast and the furious which is one of the worst rides I’ve ever been on.
the people in the movie weren't the people that filmed in the beginning lol
This ride scared the actual shit out of me 3 years ago.
Well, that's all a big part of why it's called a ""Thrill" Ride"
This ride has so much charm to it. It’s sad that this style of immersive show elements and practical effects for rides are out of style. You can watch big screens in movie theaters. Things like this you can only experience at a theme park and are just so much more memorable because of that.
Why do they have volunteer roles for ages 7-10 and over the age of 18, but not 11-17? I know it's for legal issues but if a parent comes and signs the waiver like I thinking about for 7-10 year old.
Imagine replacing an iconic ride with hot garbage I cant-
I only went on this once or twice and i loved it. That and Twister. Sad they’re gone.
And then The Rock went on to do San Andres.
Thank you so much for helping to allow these memories live on for guests and team members.
Just those who came for this video the ride starts at 24:03
Spidy 545 thanks !
Shawn Baugh Thank you so much.
Thx
Thank you👍🏻
Thank you 🙏
I don't know...I liked it better when it was Earthquake. The Disaster variation just ruined it for me. Not only did it tone down the main ride but the preshows weren't very good. I got to participate in the preshow twice as part of the "Evil Trio", though, which was cool. Disaster just didn't have the same spark that Earthquake had.
Love this ride
Glad to hear that. Hopefully Fast and the Furious will be a good replacement.
Nellas310059 I was trying to remember what it was before it had all the extra bits. Thank you for reminding me
@@Nellas310059 this aged well...
@@Dylan_0130 yup
That was a very impressive and complex ride. Probably hard to maintain. It would be easier to just put up a bunch of screens and move a ride vehicle in front of them. Very cheap to do...
which is what universal are doing now
back in the summer of 2014, my family and I traveled to universal Orlando and I'm honestly so thankful I got to ride this attraction before they removed it. this ride like twister was a spectacle and it saddens me that these kind of rides no longer exist. I never thought in my lifetime that I would've experienced a ride like this before they took it out and this was back when I had a fascination with theme parks, thanks to the game Minecraft....I miss the good old nostalgic days of 2013-2014/2015.
I don't remember the pre-shows, but I do remember the ride since I went as a kid. It left quite a bit of an impression on me, and I all thought that it was actually happening IRL (think literally) x3 Thanks for the nostalgic trip mate, much appreciated.
Ive been going to universal since before i could remember I remember the good all times going to Universal all The time and riding disaster I loved it so much and it was heartbreaking to see it go and be replaced by a horrible attraction cough cough *Super Charged*
Ugh I watch this and memories from over 20 years ago flood my brain. The smell of gas, me being nervous as a kid, my dad chuckling to all the corny things the guy on the computer is saying with his arm wrapped around my seat.. I miss being a kid in the 90's.
They replaced the best rides with lame ones so disappointing ones
Was that The Rock?!
I got to be the little kid that jumped on the Rock! I’ll always remember this ride and how immersive it was 😊
Jesus Christ get to the ride already
Mista Twista trulybra
Mistake Twista Ikr, ugh!
All the good rides are gone. Especially Twister...Ride it out
Wife and I were at the closing day for that. Sad, but we got another screen ride /ugh
I didn't get to ride Earthquake: The Big One at Universal Studios Florida. Upon arriving at Florida back in 2016 at the San Francisco section, I noticed that it was closed, and then I went back to my home. Then later in 2018, I heard that the new ride was opened, and it was called Fast and Furious Supercharged, and many people does not like it, including me. Some found it disappointing, some found it a waste of time, while I said that "IT RUINED THE EARTHQUAKE THE BIG ONE/DISASTER! RIDE!! Wow, what a shocker to see this nostalgic ride to disappear...". Thank god that there are still footages of Earthquake: The Big One on TH-cam.
I can't imagine how much work it took the reset the scene for each group coming in!
26:55 Nobody: The Truck Slides To The Station
Glad there is this video to experience the fun. Thanks for posting.
Did anyone die of laughter when the guy laughed.
Did anyone else hear some kid yell SL*T when the announcer was reading the script and was hitting on the guy in the white shirt?
How rude..
Wait this shut down? It was one of my favorite attractions there 😭
What happened to the trains and the propane tanker truck before demolition? Were they salvaged or did they get destroyed with the building?
With some of Hollywood's old attraction props, they transport them into storage warehouses nearby. Everything else, I'm sure, was scrapped.
Yep. Got rid of this attraction for Fast and Furious crap ride.
please tell me that was Christopher walkin in the pictures
seems like it
Yup, that was him
I'll never forget seeing Max Zorin/Frank Kincaid (Walken) on this attraction.
Way better than Fast and Furious Supercharged.
If Fast and the Furious replacing this Iconic attraction then it better be a actual ride and I admit it is indeed sad to see it go
jordan davidson It's gonna be another motion simulator and will feature the same thing like universal Hollywood they are using too much 3D based rides now and doesn't look real anymore Disney is beating universal now because Disney has more animatronics than universal now soon universal will learn from their financial mistakes
My uncle is making a shitload off it he’s making the parts for it
Yep, real life special effects will always beat CGI & virtual reality crap. Films are making the same mistake as Universal with their theme parks.
jordan davidson The ride is horrible. Just rode it yesterday.
They keep replacing these cool rides for 3 D motion rides. Why not just pop my Samsung phone into a gear VR, sit in a motion chair and download rides for 0.99¢ each. Rent the chair and have it delivered and set up professionally for the price of a theme park ticket. (Drops mic and walks away)
sad to see it go but looking forward to the new ride
Jones Family Travels it sucks the new ride
They closed the rock ride to make
The rock ride
I was honestly just thinking that
Wanted to go ride this since when I got the chance as a kid I was too scared to go in while my mom and brother went. Now I want to go on it and I find out it was replaced with a terrible fast and furious ride, which isn’t even an IP I care about. Stupid kid me… that’s the second time I wanted to go on a universal ride only to find out it was closed
26:58
19:32
Dammmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
she called Justin Bieber out
they should have just updated this ride and based it on the 2015 film San Andreas. It stars the Rock and it's made by Universal... why not?!!
to be honest, i would just be screaming in lowercase on here.
but would still be in panic
They definitely dumbed this ride down. In the 90's and e arly 2000's this ride was much scarier.
This ride is more terrifying and scary than Twister especially when toilet water flood subway
This was the funniest ride I’ve ever been on.
Never knew the park had this. Thanks for filming it.
MsWDWFAN1 the original version was much better and more realistic
Wow the fast and furious ride will be the second ride to star the Rock
Earthquake, the great movie ride, the og king Kong ride, epcot Norway ride, twister, hollywood studios Backlot tour, the Ghostbusters show and the beetle juice show all need to come back asap!
For years people thought that was a projected image of Christopher Walken but no it was really him. He just comes across as cartoonish
Every time I would go to universal studio's with my youth group I'm always glad ,and cite to be picked as an actor in a show called disaster based on an earthquake ride I haven't went there in five year's even ,before they got rid of jaw's to put in fast ,and the furious, because nothing will compare the original ride's. RIP jaw's ,earthquake, and especially Kong, twister,terminator etc.
Roger Whittaker and back to the future
New Ride Fast & Furious: Superchargerd Coming to Universal Studios Florida in 2018
🤢🤮🤮🤮🤬
Like you just found out Lindsey Lohan is your designated driver
How does she talk so damn fast without being absolutely breathless 😂
Hey Attractions Magazine! Huge fan! Awesome Disaster video! Is there any way you can upload the raw footage of each side of the tram unedited? I am a huge fan of that ride and I'm so sad to see it go that I would like that footage to remember it. Thank you so much! Please let me know if you get this! This edited footage is great too!
This quarantine season cannot leave the streets ... it has to go to youtube for a sense of adventure
Everybody Cheer Them On To Victory
poor Daniel xD
Funny how none of the actors that were called up got to be shown on screen...
Only part I remember from this was the tanker truck sliding down. That's all I can remember from this when I was a kid.
It's definitely different from the one at Universal Hollywood. It's kinda cool.
I had nightmares with this attraction
lol i was the kid who jumped from the rock when i was 10 💁🏽
It's already an awesome ride...... It would be even better if everything fell a little faster and more realistic..... A strong wind affect wouldn't hurt either
Have you seen grass? Was it legal?😂
The first time i went on this ride I was chosen as the kid to wear the blue raincoat and jump acting like I was jumping from a building
*Clap for him he’s important*
I'm so upset this isn't there anymore
Oh my gosh it's a runaway train brace yourselves!!!!! Aaaaaaaahhhhhb!!!!!!"
Oh no the streets caving in! The trucks gonna- EVERYONE SCREAM!
My dad went on this ride. I wish I did.
Same here, but it closed down back in 2015, and then in 2018, it replaced Disaster! (formerly Earthquake: the Big One) ride with Fast & Furious Supercharged, and everyone hates it, obviously...
Why is there a pre-show? People literally just want to experience the ride
The first time I went on this I was the little kid who had to jump down to The Rock 😂
Same here! Lol I felt like a movie star getting to do my own stunts! 😂
I’m about to cry man. This ride used to be so fun when o was a kid.
imagine being on this when an earthquake happens
There's no earthquakes in Florida
That is cool.
Seriously why would they switch this out for fast and furious that was such a backwards move. This was one of the most well thought out rides you can experience
Wow its nice they got the rock on that movie trailer ^^
I was thinking about coming back to this ride bc it was my favorite but they just killing all the old times 😭
Oh man do I wish I could have ridden this. Was there the year before they closed the ride and totally walked right by. Oh regret..........
I Love How Every Cast Mate And Volunteers Stayed In Their Own Character
Happy I rode this before it closed.
3:51 the girl in the striped shirt jumped when Lonnie started talking.
"its raining prescription drugs from canada "meanwhile theres one canadian whos a psychopath training his men
This use to be what Universal was all about…movie magic. It’s sad to see that concept is slowly disappearing.
RIP Earthquake. {:(

R.I.P. Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera, Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Shrek 4D, Nickelodeon Studios Tour, Ghostbusters, Twister, King Kong (the original ride), Screen Test Home Video, Murder She Wrote, Hercules & Xena, Bettlejuice's Graveyard Review, Jaws (both versions), Wild, Wild, Wild West Stunt Show, Fear Factor Live (Sorta. Maybe it will come back?), Back to the Future and T2-Battle Across Time.
The only original rides and shows remaining from the 1990s are: E.T. The Extraterrestrial, Animal Actors and The Horror Makeup Show. Technically, The Horror Makeup Show doesn't count since it has changed rather drastically over the decades. Now, I've deliberately left out a couple of minor "attractions" from the list of "gone" ones above. You get bonus geek points if you can identify them. (Hint: two were near Shrek, one was near E.T.)
I Like trains.
27:18 / 30:59 Choo Choo!!!!! Another subway train Arrives And derails.
Loved this ride, yet it scared the crap out of me. Made me thankful I do not live in a earthquake prone area
Does anyone know if video exists of the construction of this ride and/or behind the scenes of the mechanical aspects of this ride?
