Readers' rating:
Really tamed not at all intense boring - Andrew Dougherty This is a nice long ride, and I like the three stage experience of it that are all so different from each other and entertaining in their own unique ways. I like how everything fit together so well, and about how the ride felt so personalized. I was just a little bit disappointed by the footage on the subway, as I couldn't see much of it due to the lighting. - Lisa K The acting scene is a bit cheesy but funny. The ending with the subway is basically a holdover from Earthquake but exciting enough. - Andrew Carrieri Some cool elements, but takes way too long. Moving from from the theater to the subway car is awkward and not supervised well- people tripping over each other, going in the wrong direction, not enough seats in the places people were sent- just mismanaged all around. I really liked the subway elements once we got rolling- but getting there was tough! - KJ Simpson A great update on Earthquake. - Man-Eating Sharks Not bad but the Pre-show aggravates me! 7/10 - D H I go on this ride everytime I visit Universal Studios. I Love it! I remember riding it when it was still Earthquake The Big One. That was getting outdated, so I like the update that they did with Disater!. It's a solid ride that I recommend on yor trip to USF. Try back later if you have to wait in line long. 7.5/10 - Bob Liebe From start to end, this takes quite a long time. Don't get into the line if you are planning to see a show etc. Very good entertainment when you do ride it though. - Dan Jones The boy saw it first, and demanded I volunteer to use my "Dark Side of the Moon" laugh. Have been in the real Embarccadero BART station many times; not sure how I feel about that. - Marc Ricketts For everyone saying the preshow's no good, this ride has no preshow. The premise is that you're being cast in a disaster flick, so the whole experience is essential to be complete. That said, it's pretty well done. There are some pretty funny moments, the ride is decent, and you'll understand why the beginning was so confusing at the very end. - David Garey The pre-shows are a bit long and you are standing alot, which after walking around a park and then haing to wait in line, is a bit sucky, but the ride is still a fair insight into how movies and special effects are made and used. - Samantha McCrae The queue has been amped up, but the ride is essentially the same. Not really worth repeated rides unless you feel like wasting an hour. non-theless the final ride portion is still thrilling enough to warrant a peek or several, permitted that you can handle the 3 pre-shows that precede it. 6/10 - Dan Huffman More attraction and restaurant ratings:
