The Terminated History Of T2 3-D: Battle Across Time | Expedition Universal Studios Florida

[@deboraharmitage5074]

My husband was the main Arnold stunt double at Orlando and performed nearly 50k shows. He misses it every day and I miss watching.

[@BeeDub57]

50k shows? Wow... bet he could do that show in his sleep.

[@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa420]

Nice. I prolly saw him a few times then I guess lol!

[@marscaleb]

I'm honestly curious what kind of plans they had in place for that show "should something go wrong," like what would happen if someone missed their mark or a gun misfired?

[@andyknapp]

@@marscaleb From the t23d documentary and some interviews, there was an emergency stop button that would be pressed if something went wrong and everyone would go back to their original places, and restart the scene. They also currently do this at the new Jason Bourne Stuntacular, because it broke down a few times when I went recently

[@12masterr]

He will be back !

[@BonecrusherT800]

I miss this attraction. I feel fortunate I got to experience it back then. Feels so much more authentic as part of the main film canon than anything post-T2.

[@ExpeditionThemePark]

Yeah, and better ha

Same! I couldn't believe it was taken away, I've been on it dozens of times over the years and loved it!

[@KaiRubix]

When I was a kid I thought the robots in the theater had live ammunition so I was afraid they would malfunction and accidentally shoot into the crowd.

[@ExpeditionThemePark]

maybe they did!

[@Tfor2show]

I can see why! The "weaponry" used in the show was scary-realistic!

[@lunahetfield]

[@Flickawho]

God I miss this SO terribly bad! We went to Universal last Feb, and I saw all the remnants of the queue line and was totally geeking out. My wife thought I was being really weird, but that “ride” was something I always looked forward to as a kid when we traveled to Orlando.

[@Tfor2show]

Damn... That last show bow got me 😭

a shame! :(

[@caseybeck1004]

This was such a great video and an amazing rundown of both the history of the show as well as the show's synopsis. I was actually one of the last 2 John Connor stunt doubles hired on for the role (and one of two doubles who didn't have to wear a wig), so the attraction holds a real soft spot for me.

[@ExpeditionThemePark]

That is awesome! Hope you found a new John Connor role :D

[@caseybeck1004]

Tried, but since they cut practically all of the stunt shows with Sinbad closing, there wasn't any role for me. Luckily I moved to attractions and worked the Hogwarts Express for about a year after that.

[@theworstisover1323]

Great Video. I was in high school when I went on a family vacation at Disney the early 2000's. We went to all Disney Parks Monday - Thursday and Universal Studios on Friday. We rode Back to the Future first and then saw Terminator 2 3-D next. It blew my mind and immediately made me say we wasted 4 days at Disney and wished we spent every day at Universal. I remember every second of this show. Absolutely great video Sam, keep up the awesome work!

[@YuukiTakemoto1996]

That was basically my Disney vacation in 2006.

[@aliceinavalon]

This is my favorite attraction of all time. My father used to work for Universal backlot, and every weekend he would take me to Universal Studios, and this by far never failed to blow me away. It inspired my interest in game and narrative design, and now working in the game industry, I often credit this attraction as one of the reasons why I went to this field. I loved the immersion and how beautifully designed this was. I miss it every time I visit Universal, but the memories are still vivd enough for me to enjoy it on KZbin every time. Thanks for covering this!!!!

[@ExpeditionThemePark]

Thank you so much for watching!

[@mgrsdgfsdafsdgrsdgfsdg6980]

I still remember how LOUD the shotgun blanks were. It was deafening.

[@ExpeditionThemePark]

So loud haha

[@cameronboushehri9423]

They really need to try to bring this attraction to Blu-ray/DVD, like they did with Back to the Future.

[@Tedinator01]

I remember we used to crack up laughing when Shaq would put on his Cyberdyne contact lens so that he could finally make a free throw.

[@BeMoreBroadway]

"An ending worthy of giving the audience chills." Can confirm: got chills. Addendum: goddammit, that last show bow got me tearing up.

[@codylarue513]

Me too. It was nice to see them giving a proper send off for all of their hard work. I was always impressed by how well the actors synced up with the actions on screen. Real pros

[@Tfor2show]

@@codylarue513 Same here - I was really happy to see that they got to go out on stage together like that.

[@billlonee9470]

I worked with one of the actresses playing the live version of Sarah Connor, shortly after the ride closed in Hollywood. She'd been doing it for thirteen years! She was also going to the gym for the first time in all that time, because she no longer had the show to keep her in shape.

[@thetntraider]

The first time I ever went to Universal Studios Hollywood, I got to experience this amazing stunt show. I was absolutely blown away with the special effects. Recently I had the thought, imagine if Disney got the rights to the technology and used it to do a huge TRON stunt show...

[@eggnite4144]

I was lucky enough to see this like 10 times before it shut down

[@ThemeSeekers]

Still to this day, I'll give a "Suuuuuuperrrrrr" as a response to people that will get the reference.

[@KawaiiNancy]

[@andreajoki9758]

That was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this video - where's the "SUPER!"? :) Everyone would be saying it over and over for the rest of the Universal visit.

[@louisxvii2137]

[@ClassicDiva33]

You ain't NEVER LIED!!!!❤

[@Backroad_Junkie]

In the "making of" this attraction (which was on one of the T2 DVD's, and was twice as long as the attraction itself), James Cameron said the challenges of 3D was to try to make it feel like you're not poking the audience in the eye all the time, while poking your audience in the eye... This probably was the premier 3D attraction in Orlando until Spiderman came along.

[@peanutismint]

Yes!! One of my favourites of all time. Sad that it went away, especially for something as comparatively irrelevant as the Bourne series. Big loss for Universal. My crazy dream is that Universal Japan will give at minimum 1-2 years notice before they remove it and maybe even add 1 English language show a day so big fans can fly out and experience it one more time!!

[@offworlder1]

I still do not see what impresses people for the Jason Bourne movies, to me they are just boring as hell.

[@user-Rhefeldt]

I enjoyed this show... loved how passive-aggressive the host could be at times.

[@Tfor2show]

She was amazing. In Japan they even sell souvenir dolls of her!

[@jt8162]

I just wish she didn't say "SUPER" all the time. lol

[@disneyboy3030]

Interesting how it's supposed to be an alternate version of events, yet the attraction itself in the pre-show seems to have it be set after the actual film. The thumbs up moment was even there.

[@BradyKaynee]

Did you know Kimberly Duncan does not always die in the show? It happens rarely and I have only seen it happen once where Kimberly survives. I think it is because if the control panel on stage is not working for the Kimberly actress to exit the show, the alternative solution that she'll run out of the auditorium after seeing how insane the situation has become.

[@brycevo]

This is still one of my favorite attractions, and one of my favorite Terminator movies. My personal Terminator Trilogy is T1, T2, and T2:3D

[@brycevo]

Thank you for the ❤️. Always glad to see a new episode

Well... there aren't any other Terminator movies, are there? 😉

I was so lucky to catch this show in real life many years ago ,and thought this is the future of movie theathers the 3d effects blew me away.

[@ExpeditionThemePark]

It was amazing!

[@SeanFlaharty]

This is awesome! I really loved that attraction and am embarrassed to say that I didn't check it out in Japan when I was there last July. The park was incredibly packed and I don't believe they had a single rider line (at least I didn't see one). I used the single rider line for every attraction I rode that day, minus Backdraft, making the day easier than expected. I am also very glad you mentioned the film ran at 40fps as it was incredibly smooth, and I didn't understand why. Now I do. The 3-D was always top notch. That was the main reason I think I loved it so much as I am a big 3-D buff.

[@kevindowling8644]

Getting rid of T2 3D and Back to the Future was such a big mistake! I loved them so much! T2 3D is the terminator 3 film we should have got.

[@steveh4290]

Amazing - my fav film is T2, never got to ride this, watched the film footage, so an expedition extinct is the next best thing.

The 90s was the best era for Universal Studios. Replacing this with a minions ride is despicable.

[@bbergman13]

Such an amazing blast from the past. I'm 34 years old, father of 3 young boys. Ask my oldest who is 11, "what is something dad misses?" Yep, T2 3D at universal studios Hollywood. I lived 50 minutes away from the park. Still to this day I miss it. But I was fortunate enough to keep my smuggled "3D" glasses all this time. :)

[@smithwesson1896]

Imagine a T3 based on this that featured stuff like John, Sarah and the Terminator traveling to the end of the war, meeting future John and Kyle Reese, fighting the original Terminator from the first movie and the T-1000 again, and destroying Skynet in one epic climatic battle

[@Nargon46]

Awww, I'm so sad I missed this, it looks incredible!!! I love Terminator 2.

[@roxiedixon1817]

It was SUPER sad to see T2 go, it's a great movie franchise, there's a huge muscular body builder as the star, a Harley Davidson Fatboy and a bunch of my friends as the stunt actors. Universal needs more shows & attractions with live actors and stunt people, it's sad every time they close a show. I'm not a huge Jason Bourne fan, but some of my friends that were at T2 were cast in Bourne so I'm, SUPER excited for them. Loved this episode! Definitely gonna share it with my friends that love Arnold/Terminator. Please if you can do an episode on 2005 HHN Icon the Terra Queen, she needs more than just a house. Her Terra Beast I'm sure will want to stretch out & roam the park so the peasants of Terra Cruentus can bow to her as she wakes from her slumber & take her place on the Terra Throne with her Terra Beast. Waiting for the sacrifices of the pure of heart to be sliced & stabbed with the Terra Blade. Her blood runs into the Gorewood tree to feed your Queen!

[@chrisnorman3319]

Name a Better theme park show. I’ll wait…. Was, is, and always will be one of my top theme park experiences. Thanks for the great video!

[@wadewilson899]

I was too late to be able to see this since they took out the show in Orlando and Hollywood. I was never able to experience this amazing show that my dad would talk to me about for years to come for being the best experience ever in a theme park. I never got to experience this show but at least I will know it was the best thrill I would have ever gotten if I ever saw it.

[@JeddtheJedi]

I think this was the theme park attraction that had the biggest impact on me as a kid and made me love movies. I really liked watching behind the scenes documentaries and special features on DVDs and came to idolise Stan Winston, whose company built the animatronic effects for movies like Aliens, the Terminator movies and Jurassic Park. T2 3-D: Battle Across Time was one of the earlier theme park attractions to emphasise immersing the viewer in the movie while also adding to the story rather than just going over exactly the same plot as the movie in a compressed way. The combination of live actors with a 3D film and practical in-theatre effects was something that was so ground-breaking at the time, and the fact that it was made with the involvement of the original director and cast made it feel such a part of the franchise.

[@Buc_Stops_Here]

This was the best experience Universal had when it launched. Even near the end it still offered an amazing experience in Orlando. Getting James Cameron involved and the original cast rather than the original plan using stand-ins made it work well. Having a completely new script made it that much better. Unfortunately, with the Fast the Furious that Universal did later - the concept was not very good and the director had no vision on how to make an immersive experience. Scary as it is, this experience when it co-existed with the Fast and the Furious still blew it away - and it was built nearly 20 years previously. Thanks for this history lesson. The closing in Orlando was amazing!

[@williambudd1209]

It saddens me to think they closed it. I feel very lucky to have rode it. One of the best theme park experiences i’ve ever had (especially when those 2 extra screens appear).

This was one of my all time favourite Universal attractions. Even if it was starting to show its age when I last saw it in 2014, the level of detail, immersion and atmosphere were in a league of their own.

[@pdxer8895]

I mean 3D attraction Magic Journeys in 1982 was really good, Then Captain EO took it up a notch with-The action on the screen extended into the audience, including asteroids, lasers, laser impacts, smoke effects, and starfields that filled the theater etc. Opening in the mid 80's as you know first on the 12th of Sept 1986 :-) Then you have this one-T2 3D: Battle Across Time- which combined what Captain EO had then took it up yet another notch by using live action sequences! At least 1 is still survivng in Japan :-)

I experienced this awesome show more times then I can remember, from it's heydays to its final year. I will never forget last time I saw it was a few months before it closed, I walked in the queue & literally nobody was there not even cast members, after about 10 minutes or 15 minutes some people started to appear & cast members later appeared, also in the show the actor playing Schwarzenegger didn't come in on the motorcycle he just ran in with the motorcycle sound. I remember i was going in September (about 1 month before closing) but Hurricane Irma came the week I have planned to go, I went back in October for HHN but it was the week after it closed. Great video

I’ve been going to Uni Orlando since I was about 5(I’m now 26) and some of my earliest memories of the park are of this attraction. I’ll never forget how it blew me away and my tiny little brain thought that Arnold was actually in the park and just doing the show all day.
