Twister...Ride it Out is a special effects show at Universal Studios Florida. It opened on May 4th, 1998 replacing Ghostbusters Spooktacular. The attraction is based on the 1996 film, ''Twister. ''It is located in the New York area of the park.

Experience
Guests enter a pre-show area in which stars of the film Twister, Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt explain the nature of tornadoes and guests walk through a small mock-up of Wakita, Oklaoma.

After the pre-show, guests enter a theatre in which special effects simulate a tornado in front of them. Following the show, guests exit through the gift shop Aftermath.

Trivia
-The attraction's opening was delayed two months due to several large tornadoes killing several people in Florida in 1998 just weeks before the planned opening.

-In February 2009 the attraction began to only operate during peak seasons. However, due to guest demand it re-opened as a full-time attraction in March.
