Terminator 2:3D closed forever at Universal Studios Hollywood on December 31, 2012. This video is the final experience for this amazing Universal classic. Thank you to all the cast and crew of Terminator 2:3D at Universal Studios Hollywood for making this show very special.

[@bsdude010]

For everyone saying the audience's cheers made it annoying, I could not disagree more. Their excitement was perfect since this was the last show. I kind of even teared up. Thanks for this!

[@joeyclemenza7339]

i remember first seeing this when i was like in my 20's, and just laughing at how ridiculous it was. i still had a lot of fun. coming back to watch this on youtube at 40.... the last show ever? just hearing that crowd..... i really teared up too. brought back a lot of fun memories visiting friends in LA, and doing all the goofy theme park shit every time. i loved this video

[@Broco1L]

I never made it, wish I had. Maybe if Japan keeps the last one open. Sincerely thankful Universal made this accessible for home audiences. Thank You!

[@legendaryTMNICO]

I got to watch the terminator show with my cousin and his wife at universal studios Hollywood a long time ago and we enjoyed it. I remember the main villain was corny because she was constantly saying super several times. Me and my cousin got up and left when there were technical problems on the part where the motorcycle appeared on the stage. We came back after 30 minutes and we were able to finish watching the terminator show.

[@homelessend8557]

Terminator was definitely one of favorites every time I went with my parents to Universal. Their shop was just amazing with a full Darth Vader suit and a bunch of things to make any nerds dream come true

[@chickenpork5444]

God I miss this show. Watching this brings back really good memories.

[@Wildchildinc]

Definitely my favorite Universal Attraction. I'm glad I was able to experience it while it was still there.

[@iMatt456]

Same here

[@jeremystrauss9208]

As well-made as the Despicable Me attraction truly is, the genius of this show is timeless. The way they have you put on the "safety visors" before the 3D movie starts makes it feel more immersive. The way real life actors seemed to pop in and out of the screen was mind-breakingly innovative. And the fact that the finale incorporates two extra screens on the left and right to make you feel surrounded by the action still holds up to this day. If we ever do get time travel tech, you can bet I'm going on this "ride" again.

[@dude37]

13:42 Such a shame. She only had one more day till retirement.

[@SoulEternalPeaceWarrior77]

Maan, i'm getting emotional flashbacks watching all these videos BTTF, E.T., Terminator Ride, Backdraft.....90's Universal Studios had some amazing rides, especially as a kid!! The magic was there.

[@METALHEADNYC]

They need to figure out a way to bring this experience to bluray. I'd definitely buy it.

[@jamiepogue6024]

Loved this attraction when I was younger. It was the only 3D that ever really wowed me for some reason. That being said, The Bourne Stuntacular was absolutely breathtaking to see this past week. It's so cool to see the actors and stuntmen doing their thing in that attraction. It might not have the same kind of "Woo! Arnold!" effect seen here, but the special effects and the stunts all really come together to make something truly incredible.

[@arnieg4129]

Imagine if universal studios still operates this ride they’d never lose anything

[@rickysaucedo5002]

This made me tear up a little. Universal Studios is part of my childhood I'm sad it's gone

[@Hanzlichen]

I visited in 2011 and it WAS A BLAST! It was one of the best experiences of my life and to this date I still remember it from time to time and tell my gf how memorable that experience was. I will never forget how that smoke explosion got me at the end. The music, the effects, the action. Thank you so much Universal and all people participated at creating this ride!

If you pause at 1:54, look to the left, the guy in the black hoodie, black hair, black sideburns. That was me :')

What a lovely evening. The crowd was so warm, loving and appreciative. A fantastic performance by the final cast, and an incredible standing ovation at the end. Thanks, InsideUniversal, for putting this together.

[@thegameinfo8783]

I hate when they close down a classic ride or show.

[@CrimsonArtsStudios]

especially when it is in favor the "new hip crowd that only prefers movies of today instead of this awesomeness right here" I am NEVER going to Universal Studios again for this reason alone.

Yeah. If they weren't for that, Universal would not be here! 😢😭😢

[@Richard-Espanol]

I remember going to this with my parents when I was 12. I was so pumped and thrilled through the whole thing. The practical effects along with the amazing visuals made it feel like you were in the middle of the movies. Those animatronic terminators scared the hell out of me when they revealed them lol. Also I had a seat right where john shows up. What's funny is that he doesn't even lip sync and just points up at the ceiling lol. What it made more memorable was some drunk guy was yelling at the host during the intro and she said, "security can show you out and maybe you'll have a future when you sober up. Ok? Suuuppperr."

[@Ffsdevgj]

Saw this show back in 1998! Was amazing!

[@drummersammy4273]

I remember experiencing this attraction in the early 2000’s! After this their was a photo spot where you could take picture on the motor cycle with a realistic background from terminator. I hope I can find those pictures one day. I still remember them

Man I remember the ride when I was 5 years old and I loved the ride

i'm so sad this is gone :'(....as a kid this was my fave attraction well when i was younger it scared me lol but as i got to my pre-teens i loved it...i wish they had not taken it down -__-

[@ryandt2623]

This is in my top 3 of favorite Universal Studios Attractions, taking the number 3 spot. It's a mix of a stunt show and a 3D movie, and much like how Star Tours was my exposure to the Star Wars franchise, this was my exposure to The Terminator franchise. Before I came across this attraction, I had never seen any of The Terminator movies, so I was experiencing franchises like Terminator and Star Wars for the very first time, as attractions. And while I didn't understand this attraction at first, it definitely left an impression on me. But then when I finally saw: "Terminator 2: Judgement Day", the ride just got better for me. This attraction is a great continuation of Terminator 2. It's the actual Terminator 3, even if it is just a short film. But like The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman and Jaws: The Ride, this ride doesn't exist anymore but... man, was it an impressive stunt show. The combination of 3D and the actual stunt performers takes my breath away every time it happens because it's an incredible achievement, in terms of theme park shows.

[@KaponoMonster]

It's sad how well never going to see this show again I love this show :(

[@lesterTran]

this was my favorite but now its gone

[@klownad]

That was awesome!! The last show is always the most exciting for both the cast and the audience. You can feel that the cast was giving that performance everything they had R.I.P. T23D!!!! :'(

[@KibbyAStar]

Wish i could have seen this before it was taken off. I remember seeing T2 at a drive in movie theater. What an experience at 6 years old.

10 years ago I went very 1st time to T2 3D show US Hollywood theme park and last time was summer 2011(I remember the actor on stage shooting a machinegun and a little kid somewhere in the audience was crying.The prop gun may of been firing blanks but it's closes to live sound to the real thing firing automatic).

Now here's a 3d movie, I would actually pay money to see, I remember seeing ads for this during an 'old' martial arts series WMAC Masters, I had always hoped to get there one day, but was, and still am too poor to make the trip, thanks for the video, preserving the final performance of this cool a** attraction, seems like the actress really got into her role 'SUPER!'
