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.

Nice special effects. It could be better - Anthony Murphy

one time only...next - B Higgins

The pre-show is boring, bu I like the special effects on the show itself, cool , do it once. - David Shaul

I think I'm one of the few people who likes Twister - Ride It Out. The special effects are top notch and it's fun to watch the tornado! - Bryce McGibeny

In the pre-show Bill Paxton talks about how exciting filming Twister was. He did this while looking as bored as physically possible. After this ride I probably looked the same. Nothing interesting happens during this ride. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. One has to wonder why this still exists while Universal are shutting down classic rides based on classic films like Jaws and King Kong - Mark Doherty

I really think this was one of the most painful experiences of my life. The fire was very painful and the noises were pretty loud so I vote 1/10. - Karly Tenney

It's only enjoyable if you stand next to the railing first row. Otherwise its only average at best. - Rob Pastor

It's unique and well worth it since the lines are always short. I agree, I think it has been updates and it feels more impressive than it has in the past. If you don't mind the two pre-shows before hand, it's a fun experience that I keep returning to. - Skipper Adam

An enjoyable attraction for a short line(15 min max). The main show needs to be updated with better effects within the next 5 years or this attraction should say goodbye. - David L.

The cool outside queue has been destroyed by the big red eyesore next door. The once new and exciting technology they use in the main show has grown old and it is now obvious as to how the twister effect is ceated. It's still worth a view if the wait is short or other rides have long lines, but if you've already done it once the show doesn't seem to offer any reasons to do it again. recommended for any first-timers, others can skip it. 4/10 - Dan Huffman

First time there was this past Wednesday. Didn't know what to expect. Had serious doubts about riding it and totally loved it! Decent sized cyclone and very immersed into the scene. Having the roof overhead almost blow off was amazing! And the final drop of the floor caught me way off guard. Hats off to Universal on this performance! - Kevin Connor

I have to do this almost every time I'm at USF. - Anthony J

One time ride value - Andrew Dougherty
