About Twister - Ride It Out

Twister is a thrilling show. Watch a pre show movie all about how twister was made, and then step outside to see a garage being hit by a twister. -- Last edited by jack roberts

It is good, not great. It is exciting and a bit of heart pounding if you're in the first row. I go on this ride twice - three times a year but last year I went with my boyfriend who never went and for the first time I got WET! It was a huge surprise to me went about a cup of water poured down my hair and back. I'm actually happy they did that. Kept me guessing. - Michelle Gonzalez

I found Twister-Ride It Out to be an Ok attraction, slightly entertaining, but after having the real thing chase me home from work then go through our backyard I have a hard time being too thrilled by it. - James Koehl

This is not a tru "ride" but is very well done. Twister is one of our favorite movies and we love this attraction. They do a great job of setting the impending tornado mood with the lighting, scents and humidity. Do not miss this if you go. Express pass wait is usually about 15 minutes or so. 8/10 - Noel Blackman

This set is very well done and provides a great deal of information. The effects during the tornado are very good and make you feel like you really are experiencing the real thing. - Carl Stovall

Twister is an informative and exciting show. Tornadoes are one of mother natures mysteries and unless you live in Tornado Alley than this is the closest you'll get to experiencing a twister. The preshow is good and I like the collapsing house set before walking into the main show area. The front row is the best place to watch the attraction. There are some really nice effects(flying cow is the exception) and the noise and wind make it as realistic as its going to get in a theme park. There are continuous shows and theres is rarely a wait longer than 15 minutes. I definitely recommend checking this show out. - Manny Barron

come on people start seeing this for what it is it's not a big massive thrill ride sure but its an experience you've proberbly never had befor, an expirience that i thouroghly enjoyed and would urge anyone to ride the twister - Rob Chandler

I actually think that this attraction is underrated. It is very informative and provides a unique look into the making of the movie Twister. The final portion is thrilling and awe-inspiring at the same time, in my opinion. I am not saying that I would wait in an hour long line for this Twister, but I do think that it is worth a visit. If you take this attraction for what it is, somewhat of a presentation and NOT a ride, I think you will appreciate it much more. It reminds us of the simultaneous beauty and terror of the capabilities of mother nature. - Lindsay Murray

In my opinion this attraction is boring and wouldn't waste more than 5 minutes que time if you want to see it. - Melissa Faulkner

Like this ride a lot. Give it a chance because it has grown on me since I first rode it back in '98. The best place to feel the all-out effects is in the first row. Aside from this, the pre-show is pretty cool as well. - Wilfredo Alvelo
