Based on the hit film, Twister...Ride it Out places guests a mere 20 feet away from the awesome live spectacle of a five-story tornado. Discovering just how treacherous a twister can be, 2,400 guests per hour encounter intesifying winds and pounding rain as they brave Mother Nature's fury in this state-of-the-art attraction. The ominous funnel, the largest indoor tornado ever created, circulated enough air to fill four blimps in one minute, resulting in the deafening "freight train" sound often associated with actual tornadoes.

Twister uses dozens of powerful, specially-designed fans to create its unique vortex, or funnel. Among them are 18 fans with seven-foot-long blades positioned on ground level, mid-level and high-level through the attraction. Guests experience a twister more than five-stories tall and 12-feet wide that "dances" as much as 30-feet in any direction from its origin point.
150,000 gallons of recycled water are utilized daily at the Twister attraction. Twister uses hundreds of piercing zenon strobe lights that flash as brightly as "real" lightening to help create its storm effects.
A computerized weather tracking system monitors outside wind velocity, humidity and barometric pressure so that the size and shape of the twister can automatically be adjusted to be realistic and consistent.
