Full Final Terminator 2: 3-D showing at Universal Studios Florida 

who else is old enough to remember when it was called Terminator 2 3D Battle Across TIme. ???

Forget Dark Fate. This is the True Sequel of Terminator 2.

I feel more for the actors, some people dream of being in a movie. For them, this IS their movie, and those are their fans.

My brother worked at Terminator. He said every audience was clapping and cheering just like the final one. I saw the show a few times right after it opened and everyone was so into it. I thought it was a fabulous show. Universal should have just updated it a little. I loved how they always got the audience involved.

I worked that attraction for a couple years, 20 years ago. It was always a good time and always a awesome crew front and back of the house. A lot a awesome memories

I honestly got teary eyed watching this. So many memories with this attraction.

28:56 you can see the emotional tears on some of the actors faces... not just from the amazing cheering and support of the crowd. Also I imagine the amazing love they had for the job and the ride they become like extended family with the people they work tirelessly. I remember going with my parents back in 1998, and the Terminator 2 3D ride was brilliant, right up there with Back To The Future The Ride and E.T.... As soon as you stepped into the ride building, you instantly become catapulted out of our reality and into the world and reality of this fiction world. It was done so well that you felt like Cyberdyne was real, you felt like you was in the world of the Terminator. Shame it's gone!

This is the real Terminator 3 in my eyes....I never understood why they didnt go with this plot, Terminator coulda had the best trilogy along time ago..

The 3D in this ride was INSANE! Absolutely blew my mind as a kid! Also, once I went on the ride and when Terminator was supposed to drive back into the screen his bike broke down and we all had to leave! 🤣🤣

I saw that show so many times I was there for a few times where they botched something. The one I remember the most was when Arnold's bike got stuck in the back so it never came out. So neither did Arnold. The poor guy playing John had to improvise what to do with no Terminator (at least in that initial scene where he is suppose to drive out). I remember he literally just ran into the time portal lol.

The actors who did this throughout the years are such troopers. Definitely MVP's, so nice to see them get a great send off in the end. I wonder how many years some of them had been around.

I love how The Terminator has a sense of humor in this. 18:55 John: "GO RIGHT! RIGHT! Oh no, GO LEFT! RIGHT! LEFT! NO, GO RIGHT! RIGHT! GO RIGHT!" Terminator: "John, please stop helping." 23:03 John: "Friend of yours?" Terminator: "He was my college roommate."

I get that atractions need to stay current, but learn from T2... People LOVE practical effects, animatronics/live actors and less CGI screens in the "Ride the Movies" part of the park

Definitely going to miss this one, such great special effects and great plot!

Even though it's only short and it messes with continuity, T2 3D will always be my 3rd favourite film in the series. It felt more like a true terminator movie than any of the official sequels that followed it. I hope what ever they replace it with is amazing and not another Fast & Furious style let down.

Went on this in 97 when I was 12, it blew my mind! Loved it so much and still love Terminator!

WOW. That final bow gave me chills. Didn't even realize there were actors/actresses doubling characters. The illusion was perfect on stage! I'll always regret not having experienced this ride at least once in my life as a massive James Cameron and T2 fan. Best 4D ride ever made!

I really miss this show 😭 I hope James Cameron and Universal release a Blu-ray 3D version of the show because now the "third" chapter in James Cameron's Terminator series is lost forever in the format that it was meant to be experienced in. We need a Blu-ray 3D release of this ASAP

I can’t believe they replaced this masterpiece for a minions crap ride.

I remember when this opened in 1996! It had one hell of a run! I mean it outlasted Back to the Future, Jaws, King Kong, and Earthquake. Never forgotten!

When those terminators starting firing blanks it scared the hell out of me when I was little, but right when that motorcycle showed up and the T-800 shot the T-1000 I got goosebumps all over me. I’d pay so much money just to relive that one more time.

Time to bring this back to Universal studios. There is a new generation that needs to see this fantastic show...not just on youtube

Watching the cast get emotional at the end really got to me, especially the blonde lady playing the Cyberdyne rep. She's basically the biggest part of the whole thing and is the glue that kind of holds it together, and I get the feeling she loved doing it just from watching this.

I lived at LA only 2 years from Korea, and saw this at 2003 or 2004 when i was only 9, 10 years old. It was when Universal Hollywood was advertising Return of the Mummy ride like hell in TVs and magazines cause it was brand new ride. Of course it was fun, but in my memories those glasses wearing shows ( Terminator, Back to the future, Shrek 4D ) was so scary and shocking for younger myself. It looked so real and not only just watching, the stage and interaction like T2 + riding a actual movie car Back to the future + all that water and wind and shaking and spiders like Shrek 4D was total new experience back then. I came back to Korea at 2005 and in my 30s now with 20 years passed, I still can remember the atmosphere and mood of Universal Studio. Thank you

Saw it in Hollywood, Labor day weekend 2004. I was in a group of about 20 and we all decided to see it together. I loved how regardless of where you are sitting, the 3D effects are right in front of your face. One of my friends jumped out of his seat when the T1000's head came out in the beginning.

This attraction was the best. The audience always got into it. Almost cult-like.

THE BEST ATTRACTION AT UNIVERSAL I can’t believe they took this away

I saw this once as a kid in the 90s and is a core memory of mine.

Im gutted this has closed down, Too many screen rides now!! I miss old Universal, Jaws, Earthquake, etc etc but I guess we need to move with the times, How cool would it have been for Linda Hamilton & Edward Furlong to do this last one

Alright Universal. You wanna make more simulator / show rides? THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE A SIMULATOR / SHOW RIDE!!!

Thank you for preserving this show. After the awful Dark Fate movie, this attraction was truly T-3.

I came from Australia to see it in December 2013. I had wanted to see it since it came out in 1996. It was such an incredible experience.

It's sad that an amazing 3D show like this going away. I consider it the best made at the Universal Parks. And I was lucky to check it out at the one in Hollywood before that went in 2012.

Did not realize that they closed this down until I reserved my Universal trip for June. I was lucky to have caught this in my past visits. The emotions from the cast member. That is called love and dedication on what they did on a steller performance.

With skynet no more, Sarah and her son John Conner can finally live I peaceful life with a bright future ahead of them. Thank you for everything T-800 and farewell:)

I distinctly remember the part where Arnold used the metallic-hover-bot-turned-frisbee against the hostile T-800, and how the POV switches to an above shot to show the skull head fly towards you. Still as terrifying as when I first saw it as a kid in 1998; even without 3D

Thank you for preserving this on film! My father and I went to Universal in 2004, and the Terminator attraction was our favorite. We must have gone in at least 6 times during our stay. It’s nice to see the cast of the show take a bow after all these years.

23:01 He finally got his phased plasma rifle in the 40 watt range!

I remember seeing this show at least three times when I went to Universal in high school, that's how much I loved it. I thought it was so cool that they spent this much time into presenting Cyberdyne and Skynet as this force for good and reliability, like it was giving us a glimpse into what people within the fictional world of the series saw the company as. Very cool for lore and world-building stuff.

Why did I get emotional at the end haha Such a good childhood memory

4:50 Originally it was Shaq that had a cybernetic contact in his eye to help him make the free throws. Man it's been awhile since I've seen that.

On my first trip to Orlando, this was the first attraction my family checked out and words can't describe how much it blew us away. It was the bar for the rest of our trip and not many things surpassed it.

Seeing this hit me in the heart, I never knew T2-3D ended until now, I was there when it was new in the 90's and seeing it was one of the best days of my young life! Saw it in '98 and went at least 5 times in that one trip, finally after 18 years, I got to go back to Universal and headed back over there, it was my (unbeknownst to me at the time) final visit in 2016. This is truly the end of an era, seeing the actors assembling on stage one last time for one last send-off really made it real, it's over. But I have some consolation in seeing that the last showing was a blast & that was a great audience. If anyone from Universal Studios Florida who worked on this attraction over the years is reading this: thanks for the memories, you're part of my life. Love and peace from England! :'D

I was fortunate to visit Cyberdyne Systems in July 2015 and see the show twice. The interaction of live to video and back was seamless. It was a really great show, with an excellent gift shop at the end! I still have the endoskeleton mug they sold there. I had no idea they 'd closed it until I literally stumbled across this video. Looks like they still have it in operation in Universal Studios, Japan.

Someone just reminded me that this closed, I had completely forgotten. I was never a fan of the Terminator series, mainly because this show scared me as a child. However, I grew up to not only appreciate the show but to also love it. It was an amazing practical effects show with hands down the best 3D visual effects I have, to this day, ever seen. They were cheesy at times and had dated 3D animation, but the effect was so incredible it really did not matter (and it's something you will never get to experience again, as video can never do it justice). To get a glimpse of it though, just look at the final 3D scene. The creature, even without the glasses, looks like he's popping out of that screen. That's incredible. This was such a fun send off to the show and I'm glad they even let people stand in the back. Too awesome. I'm also glad that my mother suggested I go watch the show during our last trip while she sat down to take a break, as it was the final show of that day. Right after we left Florida, they announced it was closing and I wouldn't get that chance again. Thanks for the video. Wanted to relive the memory.

Anyone else remember "Superrrrr" lol

I totally feel the audience's passion ... wow I got goosebumps.

Glad I purchased a Terminator shirt from there when I did in 2016.

This attraction was impressive when it first opened and years later up to it's closing. It was a grand run and there won't be another like it.

This ride was absolutely amazing. I first rode it back in 2007 when I was on vacation with my family. T2 is my favorite Terminator movie and when I got to experience this magic at Universal Studios, it was better then I could ever imagine. One of my favorite rides at the park and I still cannot believe they got rid of it. At least I have my memories and I can always look back at the time I got my own Terminator experience.

So am I the only one considering this is what sequel after T2 suppose to be.

I was lucky to go on this attraction at universal studios in Hollywood when I was a kid. Awesome nostalgia.

Not sure why this just popped up in the Recommended videos but I watched all 30 min of it, I loved that ride and T2

I went to universal studies shortly after the Terminator 2 3D attraction opened. As a HUGE Terminator fan it was the first thing I went to see. I loved it, even though some of it was a little cheesy. The Attraction was more 4D than 3D. The rumbling seats and the lightly sprayed water simulating flying debris was really amazing. I want to thank you for filming the show allowing me to relive the experience again. I'm really surprised by how much of it i had forgotten. Again, thank you.

Such great memories of this !! Went to Florida as a kid Terminator crazy and made my family go on it like 8 times haha

Chokes a woman to death Crowd: Wooooooooooooooo!!!!!

This and the Back to the Future Ride were always highlights of my Universal Studios visits as a kid. If there’s any consolation, I can relive those memories thanks to RU-vid. ❤️

This was my favorite show at Universal Studios. So sad they end the show, watched it at least 4-5 times and every time always a good time. Thanks

I never made it to Universal in time to experience this (first visit was in 2021), so thank you so very much for uploading it here. It's like I'm there!

Universal Studios Japan still has this show

Man, Terminator 2 is one of my favourite films (I used to watch it all the time with my Dad) and I was lucky enough as a kid to be taken to the theme parks in Florida and this was an absolute highlight. Saw it a few times and it really blew me away. It was so well presented and the live actors were always fantastic. One of my happiest memories. I remember one time there was a guy who was so into it, he was saying things like "Skynet is evil, we must destroy it" under his breath to himself. He was so amped up, but also kind of an oddball. When we went into the auditorium my mum almost end up sat next to him so we quickly dived to a different row.

Was lucky to have experienced it back in 2009 when I was there. It made me feel like a kid again back in 1991. It was such a special experience! All good things come to an end. 🙁

this attraction in itself, is better than the whole plot of terminator dark fate

I love how everyone was cheering just like the 1st time they saw it. Makes me happy knowing that they enjoyed the show

I feel happy I could saw the attraction. Back in 2007 it was considered one of the best of all parks

Back in the day, this attraction was amazing! The technology at the time was cutting edge. The seamless transition between the live actors and video-animatronics was fantastic. Of course, that 3D back then was cool as well. Unfortunately, time changed everything. 3D technology has advanced so much since then, and you could tell in the ride today. But that didn’t stop my excitement to experience it one last time when we visited several years ago. BTW, a bit of trivia: I lived in Orlando more than two decades ago. One of the actors who portrayed the Terminator was once a member of the group *NSYNC. He chose not to continue with the group, feeling that the group would go nowhere. That was the opening that allowed Lance Bass to join the group. Lance was my boss’ nephew, and he himself told me what had happened. Back then, the group was just starting. He actually accompanied me on my first visit to Universal Studios, which was cool, because we could enter the attractions as VIP guests. Going to miss it, but at least I got to go one last time.

That final show was fantastic. I absolutely loved watching the show live in California a while back.

A shame Arnold himself wasn’t there for the end...the cast genuine emotion at the end 😢

Sad to see this show fold..saw it three times over the years. I still slam Don Julio with the T2:3D shot glasses I bought in the merch store.

I would love to see this again. Saw it back in like 00-01.

From the bottom of my heart I will miss this show. I saw it for the first time with my father over ten years ago, and I would have never explored the world of Terminator without seeing it. Universal Studios is getting lazy in their presentation: As beautiful and streamlined as they are, they're beginning to suffer from "Movie in a Box" syndrome. Of which I mean coping out using live actors to bring screen and practical special effects and instead just putting guests in a moving seat that moves past scenery and 3D screens. I started to notice it in 2015: Spider-Man, TRANSFORMERS, The Forbidden Journey, Minions, and then the closing of Twister in place of a 3D Jimmy Fallon Ride and of course the new (and underwhelming) FAST and FURIOUS. All of these rides rely on more screen than tangeable effects. Terminator was that hidden gem in the park where you got everything: Live actors, animatronics, immersion, 3D...all branched from one into another without needing to change rooms. Even DISASTER held a place in my heart because you interacted with people and it touched on movie magic that makes Universal have such nostaligic value. I'm not knocking the 3D box rides, as they're undoubtedly top of their class. I just hope Universal doesn't lose sight of the value that was Terminator. T2 is a classic, and I hope what comes in the future harkens back to previous movies to create that nostalgia with modern technology, instead of throwing together whatever is trending onto a 3D screan and automated vehicle.

i saw this once when i was 7 or 8. i thought it was amazing. A stand out moment in my childhood.

All good things must come to an end.

I was at Universal in 2016. I didn’t get a chance to go on the T2 ride. I thought “Well it’s been here for this long, it’s not going to go anywhere. I’ll be able to go on it if I ever get back to Universal.” I was wrong. Guess I’ll have to wait until we have time travel, and I can be sent back naked to go on the ride.

YESSSS! I was at that last final show! Loved how the lady in red always said. "SUPPPERRRR"

This makes me appreciate the ride even more 😭

I saw this a couple of times in 1999. This, by far, was one of the BEST 3D "rides" I've ever seen or "been in" in my entire life. Especially when that "spider" reaches out and touches you in the middle of your eyeball!

I saw it back in 2003 when I was on shore leave from a container vessel in Long Beach. We were 9 cadets and we rented a couple of cars and visited Universal Studios one day, and Six Flags Magic Mountain the next. The evenings were spent at the Blue Café in Long Beach. Good times :-) Now, I especially remember watching Terminater 2: 3D back then. It was such an awesome and immersive experience. I'm sad to hear that they have stopped showing it :-(

this show was truly my top favorite at universal studios (hollywood). I'm 24 now and I'm just sad thinking about how I may never see this in person again. At least florida had a few more years! I'm sure that I was 12 or 13 the last time I saw it, but I think that my earlier years were when I thoroughly enjoyed it and watched with so much amazement

When i was young and did this show, i was too young to see the first 2 movies so I had no idea what was happening in the show but still thought it was cool. Nowadays T2 is my favorite movie of all time and i would kill to experience this show again

It's funny how many people showed up to this as apposed to dragon challenge

I did not expect to be tearing up at the end of this video. Great job to everyone involved

Such an amazing ride! Saw the show so many times at every visit to Universal, the first time I saw it it blew me away! Great video from start of show to end!

I was gonna say it was cheesy " hug I'll be back" but seeing the actors and their dedication ugh I love this so much and hate that I never got to experience it

Great childhood memories, going to miss this and the awesome props in the gift shop at the end.

man that would've been so much fun to see in person!

I think they should’ve updated this instead of closing it completely. I think they should’ve made it a simulation ride, and make it where you’re transported into the Judgement Day future and you get to shoot the Terminator cyborgs. And along the way Arnold, Sarah and John help you out throughout the ride. Almost like the Back to the Future ride combined with the Buzz Lightyear and Harry Potter ride.

Glad I got to see this show in person 10 years ago. Sad that they took this masterpiece down.

They still have one last of this left in the Universal studio of Tokyo, I think. Now I have more reasons to visit Japan...

Absolutely awesome video! So much fun to watch the audience so engaged in such a phenomenal Moment In Time!!!!!

The part of this show that I loved the most was the Cyberdyne hostess / representative -- each actress put her own spin on the character's personality...she could be mean, sweet, evil, arrogant, burly, meek, intelligent, dumb, etc. I watched the show multiple times and she was never the same character twice.

I had no clue that it had an extended queue, but I guess most universal rides do, interesting

I know all things must come to an end but I’m truely sad to see that this attraction has closed. I first saw T23D when I was 7 years old on my first trip to Disney Orlando (I know this is universal). I was absolutely terrified (I think this was the first 3D film I ever saw. Loved every second of it. I’m now 29 and the terminator is in my DNA. This ride sparked the interest in the films so a great shame it is now gone.

I remember seeing the same show at Universal Hollywood when I was 14 then a few more times after that. Amazing show as always, ICING ON THE CAKE to see this cast say farewell on the last showing! Awesome!!

it feels like when you complete the game and you unlock a bonus level, this is amazing

Announcer: Welcome to Cyberdyne. Me: WOO WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE!

Sad to see its gone, I'll miss this one. Loved it as a kid so much.

And that’s the end of the original timeline Skynet.

I'm gonna miss the attraction.

We will miss it but “IT WON’T BE BACK”
