The guests line up on a tiered observation platform under a corrugated metal roof, overlooking a real sound stage outdoor scene featuring a view of a rural drive-in theater and the rocket hamburgers diner at dusk as dark clouds roll overhead. Suddenly, a tree gets struck by lightning, scenes from The People Under the Stairs appear on the movie screen, sirens sound briefly, and winds in the room get stronger! As well as rain falling from the sky. A small flash light can be seen inside the rocket hamburgers a couple of feet away, as well as voices of family within the restaurant screaming to get in. A projected tornado drops from the sky in the background. As it fully forms getting closer, the tornado turns and destroys the drive-in theater. Then another tornado would appear on stage five stories tall and twelve feet wide, the glass on the rocket Hamburgers window shatters as the guests would be squirted with water from behind. Dorothy flies by as lightning flashes the Galaxy rips away and crashes inside Eric's garage. After that happens a cow flies by the guests, as this couldn't get any worse the roof of the observation platform also threatens to tear off being pulled upwards. As the Dodge Ram slides towards the gas tanks with the force of the tornado pulling it hits one of the gas tanks as gasoline liquid drains out as well as sparks, fire forms up reaching the tornado which causes a fireball three stories high to erupt. As the twister dies out, the roof falls down above the guests and the floor also gives a sudden drop, giving guests a final scare. Bill Paxton thanks everyone for surviving twister directing them to exit to their left through the "Aftermath" gift shop.
