OK, let me start again by saying that I was looking for a ride better than Earthquake when I went on. To me, they were in the same boat as far as shows that are created to depict scientific phenomena. The legendary Earthquake has lost a step or two over time, and has lost its glory to the newer rides such as MIB and Mummy. Twister, which opened years later, should have been a great improvement, however, it wasnt. Once again, similar effects were created with fire and water. Twister added wind which isnt terribly difficult, and a flying cow strait out of the movie. Nothing overly impressive or show stopping as far as I was concerned. The set-up was nice with the movie props (such as the Dorothy machine) were nice in the queue, and the pre-show with Helen Hunt and that guy (whos name I cannot remember) was pretty good. The set is much like Earthquake except you walk in rather than "shuttle up a tunnel" in. However, the magnitude of the water flow and the fire effects were certainly better with Earthquake, which definately didnt help Twister. Overall, a decent simulation of a tornado, I know they cant really put you through the wild conditions, but still nice. The thing that is going to get this baby a 5 is that I came in expecting a show better than Earthquake and was left with nothing but messy hair.
