Twister aside, Universal does base its rides on some great movies. This kid/family dark ride channels E.T., and its sets are impressive - the misty woods of the movie are recreated perfectly. The "bike" seats you ride in are suspended from above, and it moves ok, but could stand an upgrade. (The track your attached to kinda resembles something you'd find at a meat packing plant.) Then things take a really weird turn when you arrive at E.T.'s homeworld. Not that I would ever advocate such things, but I bet if you're high on hallucinogens, this would be the most awesome (or most scary) thing ever. They slow down the loading time by having an attendant type in your name on a swipe-card, so that at ride's end, E.T. bids you a personal farewell. Heck, you may as well tell the attendant your name is Elliot.
