NBC Today Show host Katie Couric interviews Eddie Newquist of Universal Creative about the all-new TWISTER Ride It Out attraction at Universal (Orlando Resort) Studios Florida. Twister...Ride It Out was an indoor special effects attraction based on the 1996 film Twister, located in the New York-themed area at Universal Studios Florida. It replaced Ghostbusters Spooktacular and opened to the general public on May 4, 1998. Hosts Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt, stars from the original film, were featured in recorded video footage and audio narrations throughout the attraction. Guests experienced a life-like encounter with a simulated tornado in the main show area which included water, fire, and the movement of objects across the stage among other audio and visual effects. Declining popularity due to a lack of long-term cultural significance led to the attraction's permanent closure on November 1, 2015. Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon opened in its place two years later in 2017. © NBC News (http://www.nbc.com/) Posted for entertainment and educational purposes only.
