This is not really a "ride" at all, it is more like a walk through show. You wait forever until you actually get to the real show, but once you do get to the real show it's pretty good. But, I was in the front row so the show may be different on back. Also, it was really dark inside the building and took my eyes some time to adjust. - Monica Millsaps

Twitser ride it out isn't exactly your average ride. You stand up and watch two shows before you go in. It's not worth waiting more than maybe 30 minutes. First you watch a clip starring the two people who did twister then you go in another room thats looks liek it was torn up by a tornado then they talk to you again. After a few minutes a twiter alarm goes off. Then you ave to stand out there and that's when the action happens. - Katie G-Desjardins

This ride is very fun to watch, The effects are outstanding and you can get wet. THE only negative is that you have to stand. - Joe YO

A good attraction, but not great. The props and stanging was very good. But needed to be more of a ride and a little more immersive. Didn't like getting wet during the rain effects. With some changes, it could be an excellent ride/attraction. - Gil Long

Preshow okay, actual show is cool - Dan Rosenberg

I was not at all impressed with this show. Its not even a ride. I went in expecting an actual ride with maybe some sitting and hydraulics system, tilting around a bit. But no...a 20 minute pre-show that I was more impressed with the props and scenery than the actual thing. Then the actualy show is well, blah. Little wind here or there...little rain and some pyrotechnincs. THe only part I really liked was getting wet in the back row. I really wish they had some seats though, its alot of standing. - Iris Hernandez

It wasn't the great caliber I knew from the the previous rides I had ridden at the park. It was cool, but seemed like it needed a major facelift. - Patrick Gorham

I wish this had been a "ride" instead of a timed show. It is a fun attraction but again, if your not up front, your missing out. Seriously, the cow needs work! lol. Can't we get a more realistic animated cow? - Michael Newsom

It was alright. Compared to all of the other rides here, it was just ok. If there is NO line, then i say check it out. If there is a line of 10 minutes or more, skip it. The 2 minute ride is not worth the 20 minutes of preshow you have to stand through. Yeah you heard me. You have to STAND! There is no place to sit on the entire ride. I have to say, the theming was pretty good. The preshow was so very boring that i kept looking around at all of the decor. The decor will keep your attention but the ride won't. It is ONLY exciting if you stand in the front row. If your on the fence of waiting more then 20 minutes, i say skip it. It isn't worth it. You won't miss anything. The only thing you will miss is sore legs and loud noises. - Austin Jacobs

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 are in the first row. Aside from this, the pre-show is pretty cool. - Wilfredo Alvelo

the ride is ONLY good if you stand in the front row. otherwise you just watch it but don't experience it. standing in the front row you can actually feel the wind and rain. the wind especially. it gets brutal, and so strong that it literally sucks away your breath and you can't breathe. so, as seen from the back i would give this ride a 6. however if you are in the front row i give it an 8. - roxy m

We weren't in the front, but still thought this was an impressive spectacle. Great job of simulating the effects of a twister. Thankfully they turned off the sprinklers, because we were there in December, and it was COLD that day. - Sylvain Comeau
