Thrill Rating: 4 (appropriate for most ages, although there are loud noises in the dark, and very young children might be frightened).
Before sinking the Titanic, Oscar winning Director James Cameron was the creative muscle behind the wildly popular Terminator series. Ever the perfectionist, when he was approached by Universal to do an attraction based on the film...he went all out. At a cost of more than $60 million, he brought back Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton (the directors wife....er, ex wife I mean), and the kid who played in the original T2 movie (Eddie Furlong).
Cameron decided the attraction should use live action and 3D, a combination that is tough to mix, but that works brilliantly here. The story line is that you are visiting Cyberdyne Systems on an "Open House" tour, when Linda Hamilton and Son break in to attempt to destroy CyberDyne. To give away too much of the story here would be cruel. Suffice it to say, that in my opinion, this is the BEST attraction of any central Florida theme park (and that comes from a die-hard Disney fan). All of your senses are challenged in this first rate attraction. This is a NOT TO MISS Attraction!!!

This indoor stage show shows guests some of the tricks used in films to create gory special effects. Some of the effects can get a bit intense for young kids (like severed limbs, etc). It offers a very informative look at this genre, and does so with great humor. It's an excellent show, and should not be missed.

Lucille Ball, America's most beloved comedienne, is remembered in this nostalgic, and entertaining tribute to her life and career.
Although the area is relatively small, it is jammed with personal effects, including scripts from "I Love Lucy", costumes, and various other items. A large screen TV in the center of the exhibit provides clips from some of I Love Lucy's most memorable moments. There is also a series of Trivia games that you can play as well.
Most impressive to me was the area that showcases all of Lucille Ball's awards, including the Emmy's she received for her work on Television.
It's a fantastic tribute, and one that I hope they will keep!
