Terminator Tips/Trivia/Reviews

[Jon]

As with Waterworld, I'm looking for any tips/trivia/reviews regarding Terminator 2:3D. Any and all contributions are appreciated.

Thanks!

Off the top of my head:

Arrive at least 15 minutes before showtime, especially during peak season. This will help make sure that you get into the show.

The park schedule lies to you. It states that Terminator is 20 minutes - allot 30 minutes for Terminator. This is to accommodate the time it takes to load the theater and to get out of the theater.

Don't waste your one-time-use Gate A passes here. It's not really worth it unless you're here for the Behind-the-Scenes show.

Don't get wet. We won't let you in.

If you want to bring in drinks, souvenir cups and other resealable containers are okay.

During peak season, watch a T2 show that's the same time as a Waterworld show - it's less crowded that way.

Take a seat in the back section. You'll see everything plus it's easier to grab a seat in the back as everyone tends to head towards the front while we load the theater.

Spoken like a true Cyber Tech!

Thanks, Skillz!

Another one - Parents get super concerned about the "Parental Advisory" sign out front. Don't let this sign scare you too much. The show is not super violent/bloody. Besides a few gun fights, the worst that happens is that someone gets choked to death. The only other concern would be that it's super loud inside. If your kid makes it past the T80s and the shotgun blasts, they should be fine. If anything, you could see one of the Cybertechs during the show and they'll let you out.

If you don't want to stand in line for 20 minutes until our next show when we're running on 30 minute cycles, I recommend visiting the shops nearby, watching a Blues Brothers show if there is one, or taking that 10 minute walk through House if there's no line. I'd also recommend using the restroom, especially if you have small children with you. This is because once you leave our show, you can't come back in. Too many guests have gone through the preshow and find out that they can't watch the main show because they need to use the restroom.

And just a quick safety reminder, don't get up once you've found your seat unless you absolutely have to leave. Those actors are real (serious, someone asked me if they were fake), and yes, they're running around the theater carrying real guns. Also if you get up, you're likely to lose your seat during the peak season as we don't allow saving of seats. Seating is first come, first serve.

Tiny bits of trivia:
-Maximum Seating Capacity of the main theater: 706 (696 seats plus 10 spots for wheelchairs) However, we manually count 680 at the front gate to make room for VIP/Gate A passholders and for a margin of error.
-Average daily number of shows: off-peak 10, peak 25
-Maximum number of guests cycled in an hour: 2040
-Terminator's motorcyle: a gutted out Harley Davidson Fatboy
-Terminator's guns: 12 guage shotgun, a Plasma Rifle, his arms :P
-Sarah's gun: AR-15

Wha...?

Someone thought it was some sort of projection or that they were robots. A couple guests have even asked me if I was a robot. One of them was a kid though, so it made sense. The weirdest things do get asked sometimes. o.O

[Skillz5]

I have been asked if the fire was real at Waterworld before! LOL

[Universal CRAZY]

HAHAHA wow. lol
