My favorite defunct attraction is Jaws. I only got to ride it once in late May/June of 1998. I was almost 5 and my parents took me with them on their honeymoon. I got to ride all the defunct rides because I was a pretty tall kid and my parents were with me. The only two rides I was actually scared on were Jaws and Alien Encounter at Disney. I really wish I could ride Jaws again as an adult.

For me the greatest time to go to universal was 2011-2012, forbidden journey had just opened, we still had jaws, twister, Poseidons fury, disaster, rip ride rocket was finally worked out and operating well, 13-14 year old me was old enough to appreciate the special effects and thrills those rides brought. Not to mention the HHN those years used the jaws and twister queues so it was pretty sweet.

A trick to get the most out of that final room was to position yourself in the front row and lean right up against the rail. This put you in a position to feel the wind storm MUCH more than people in the 2nd row and really added to the immersion of the storm and general mayhem going on around you. I always loved going on Twister and was sad to see it close.

First time I went as a little kid I LOVED Twister movie but chickened out of going on the ride. I went to wait for my family in the gift shop and a worker noticed me standing alone and invited me to see the control room. It was a large control panel with a window overview of the set. They showed me how they set off the effects and it was amazing. I did eventually ride it years later cause we were out of time that day.

Man… favorite defunct Universal attractions… I have several. When I was a kid, Kongfrontation is probably the main reason I wanted to visit Universal and it absolutely blew me away when I rode it for the first (and only) time. Same with the Hanna-Barbara ride, I was a Scooby Doo fanatic growing up and I went nuts when the ride went through the Scooby section. This was maybe 1998 or so? Maybe 99. By the time I came back and visited as a young adult, Kong and H&B were gone. Really miss T2 and Jaws, I rode those later when I visited as a young adult and had an annual pass. By that time, Harry Potter and Transformers had not opened yet but some of the original attractions like Kong, H&B, and Back to the Future were replaced with Mummy, Nickelodeon, and Simpsons. This was probably 2007-2008. The Beetlejuice show was a lot of fun as well! That was a great “rest your feet” show. Oh, and Twister was a favorite as well of course! Had to do that every time I visited until it eventually closed down.

Took me awhile to work up the courage to ride the former Jimmy Neutron ride but loved going to see Twister and Disaster all the time! Still miss those two shows dearly and wish they were still around so I can relive them!

What a bummer I never got to see any of those props and that van! Once I started going to Universal they didn't have the extended queue. You'd wait right outside the doors of the theater and wait to go inside. You saw the sign coming in and the videos on the screen, but that's it. Didn't even hear the fictional radio station playing in the background either. Glad you've talked and covered this, I never heard this mentioned in other videos about Twister so thank you. Also, yes, they definitely filmed them separately since they didn't get along during filming. I don't think it's speculation at this point. So you're correct. If they had to film it together and had to film any more stunts for the attraction they probably wouldn't have done the cameos. BTTF.
