Ok, last time I gave this a 7, but now Im going to knock it down a point. Yes, it was a very good simulation of an Earthquake, but I feel that this ride is in dire need of an update. At least change the show a bit, because it is the same as it was years ago. The simulation still impresses me with the use of fire and especially the water, but it doesnt have much of a re-ride possibility. For some reason, it was something that we just didnt want to touch again. Maybe because it hasnt been changed, mabe because it no longer reigns high over Universal Studios, and now, is near the bottom of the food chain. I have to agree with some of the other comments... the truck is a bit too slow, I recall commenting how "Im sure in an earthquake that a gas tanker stays parallel when falling". Leave it to an engineer to criticise the motion of a sliding object with an unequal distribution of weight. Sorry guys, I just dont buy some of the "effects" of the earthquake any more, hence, a drop in a point. Yes, three years ago I was a bit younger and a bit more generous/awe-able, but now I feel nothing but disappointment from this and Twister, which was certainly a bigger letdown. I knew this one would stink, I was expecting improvement over time and unfortunately, that didnt come with Twister. Again, I never say never, you should ride this one at least once, heck, at least once per trip, but I wouldnt go on it again later in the trip unless it had been a walk-on (then I would have considered it)
