TERMINATOR 2: 3-D MEGA-ATTRACTION TAKES GUESTS INTO VIRTUAL ADVENTURE

Original Terminator 2 Cast Reunites With Academy Award-Winning Director James Cameron In Third Installment of Terminator Saga

Universal Studios Florida's Terminator 2: 3-D attraction is a virtual adventure that earns cheers from guests every day. The $60 million attraction USA Today calls "a 3-D extravaganza" is the most elaborate and technologically advanced experience ever created for the Orlando theme park.

Terminator 2: 3-D is based on the blockbuster motion picture Terminator 2 and features footage filmed especially for the attraction. Joining James Cameron on the Terminator 2: 3-D set were original Terminator cast members, who reprised their roles for the attraction.

After entering the dark, foreboding and futuristic world of the blockbuster Terminator films, guests interact with live-action stunt doubles who battle menacing robotic cyborgs in an attraction that blurs what is on the screen with what is live inside the theater.

"The mixture of special effects and live stunt-work in T2 3-D puts guests closer than ever to the action of the Terminator movies," said Tom Williams, president and chief executive officer of Universal Studios Escape. "it puts our guests in the middle of one of the most exhilarating experiences we have been able to create and we believe it continues to raise the bar on theme park entertainment."

The centerpiece of the attraction is an innovative, three-dimensional film. The 12-minute-long film is, frame for frame, the most expensive live action film ever produced. Academy Award-winning director James Cameron is joined by Academy Award-winning special effects wizards Stan Winston (T2 and Jurassic Park) and John Bruno (The Abyss) in directing the ground-breaking film. Three 23-foot high by 50-foot wide screens help create T2 3-D's massive, peripheral sensory experience. The attraction also represents the first time three-dimensional cinematography, digital composite computer graphics and live stunt work have been combined.

Mr. Cameron said he regards Terminator 2: 3-D as a true sequel to his blockbusters. "It's definitely the next film," he noted. "The only difference is that this film is only 12 minutes long and you can't see it in just any theater."
