Earthquake: The Big One

 

Earthquake: The Big One, a quaking, shaking, seismic sensation, puts visitors right into the center of one of the most shattering disaster films in movie history. Based on the Academy Award-winning film, the attraction introduces visitors to the world of special effects and then invites them to experience an 8.3 Richter Scale quake from the seeming comfort of a San Francisco subway train. Fiery explosions, crashing trains, tumbling walls and tidal waves engulf visitors in an experience so real, guests still quake after seeing how the magic is created.

Duration - 20 minutes

Restrictions
Guests may remain in standard wheelchair throughout.

Facts / History
