Universal Studios Orlando - Earthquake: The Big One
Earthquake:
The Big One Based on the film, this attraction starts off with a demonstration on how special effects were used in the movie to create the effect of a massive earthquake. This includes a fascinating look at the original models used in the film. Audience volunteers also help during a sequence that is filmed against a blue screen background, which is later mixed with some special effects to further demonstrate the craft. Eventually, you board the BART (Bay Area Rapid Transit - a subway) that is supposed to run from Oakland to San Francisco. Once on board the tram, the earthquake starts to hit. It is a very well done attraction, that proved a little too intense for some friends of mine from California, who have experienced the real deal. It's something to keep in mind, but the attraction is not to be missed.
