The Day After Tomorrow - The Ride

The attraction opening with Universal Studios Massachusetts known as The Day After Tomorrow - The Ride will be a presentation like Twister, Earthquake, Disaster, and Backdraft.

Queue: The queue line will feature some props from Day After Tomorrow and some pictures of the New York flood scene of the movie, including the Statue of Liberty with waves behind it.

Pre-Show: The Pre-Show will be in a room modeled after the main room of the New York Public Library where the TV monitors will feature stars Dennis Quaid, Jake Gyllenhaal, and Emmy Rossum. They will explain how Day After Tomorrow was filmed and the pre-show ends with Dennis Quaid telling the guests "Now it's time for you to live the Day After Tomorrow." The riders then enter a room which is modeled after the New York Public Library exterior. In the movie, the flood came raging through and the citizens took shelter in the NYPL and this room is a replica of that scene.

Ride: The presentation begins when a taxi drives by and a radio says "There's a wall of water coming towards New York City, everybody take shelter!" 3 ft. water covered the streets of New York. Then you see lightning in the background and another foot of water came. Then you notice a wave (the wall of water the radio said). Fire then appears as lightning strikes a street lamp causing the lights above the riders to turn off. It slowly heads for the riders and then as the flood reaches the riders, the floor where the riders are standing lurches with a sudden drop, giving them one last scare.

Gift Shop: The Day After Tomorrow - The Store. This store sells Day After Tomorrow Videos/DVDs, a video/DVD of the ride featuring you, and some shirts saying "I Have Experienced the Day After Tomorrow and I lived!"

P.S.: This ride is very similar to other disaster rides at Universal Studios, but this ride is mostly similar to Twister in USF (Universal Studios Florida) and in the upcoming USS (Universal Studios Singapore).

P.S.S.: Universal Studios New York is to feature 4 disaster rides. Three have already been announced: Earthquake, Disaster, and the Day After Tomorrow. The 4th one hasn't been announced yet, but most fans hope for it to be Backdraft.
