I guess I can't say I'm surprised. It was probably the most underwhelming attraction we visited there last month.
I loved Twister the movie so I was excited to see it and was honestly disappointed.
I thought the same thing about Shrek. The attraction movie was funny, but the "ride" needs to be updated. Question - was Shrek formerly the Hanna Barbara ride?

Honestly, Universal Studios is about half "land of irrelevant movie franchises." It's comical how long this twister attraction has lasted.

Lasted longer than Ghostbusters did... Which is a surprise...
Now, if they can just do something about Shrek...

I agree the attraction was underwhelming. However, I liked the merchandise in the store. Definitely different.

Do you think Shrek will go before T2?

T2 should be getting enhancements, or maybe should have gotten them by now... and with the new Terminator movie coming out, I don't think T2 is going anywhere for a while... Shrek still gets crowds too... If something were to go though, I'd say Shrek first... Gotta try to profit off the new Terminator first...

T2 was one of my faves in the summer (It didn't make me motion/screen sick!). The Shrek ride was pretty sad and Twister was outdated. Probably a good time to refresh Twister.

Reason: TOS
Here we go feel the flow its the universe of energy.
One little spark imagination, its how our minds create creation. Right at the start of everyting that's new one little spark light up for you.

Pretty much felt that the movie sucked and the one time I did the attraction, it was nice to know the attraction met the same standards as the movie.
Won't shed a tear to see it go.
-
The movie was great fun and so was this attraction. I liked having everything play out right in front of you. I also enjoyed the Backdraft attraction in Hollywood which was the same concept.
I'll be sad to see it go but I knew it's time was limited. I'll be excited to see what Universal comes up with next.

No it wasn't...Hanna Barbara was where Despicable Me is now....after Hanna Barbara it was Jimmy Neutron and presently Despicable Me.
I am sad....I love the movie so I guess that's why I enjoyed the attraction.....I know that I am the minority.  And Yes, I love the Shrek attraction too!

Latest scuttlebut around the Twister location is a show/experience themed around the Tonight Show. Which would fit in with the NYC theme of the area. Not too much info on what this would look like yet.
BTW- the ride/experience where Shrek is now was the Alfred Hitchcock exhibit.

Not sure that a Tonight Show attraction sounds too interesting to me.
Yes....I loved that attraction and that actually started my obsession with Hitchcock movies.
Do you remember the Psycho house too? It was so cool.

Not sure about the Tonight Show theme... possibly put out there to 1) throw people off 2) catch leaks...
Someone in the industry has reported the replacement will be... ready fro it?? MORE SCREENS!!!!
A screen based, 3D motion simulator... Didn't say the theme though...

Interesting info is that this may be a Twister redo using a Soarin' or even the new Avatar/Pandora based motion/flying simulator. Imagine being in the middle of a twister rather than just watching from the sidelines.
Could be pretty cool, athough this might also be a one-up on Disney with this being done and open before Avatar.
