Universal Studios Hollywood: Earthquake the Big One! Reset Cycle

In a rare situation bestowed to the average guest due to technical difficulties with the Gimbal (Shaker) platform, watch the Earthquake attraction reset itself in under a minute.

Damaged and deformed support columns straighten themselves out,flood waters drain away out of sight, and entire sections of street deck rise and reconnect once again. The jack-knife'd train backs away into the tunnel and the Runaway Hydrogen Tanker rises back up to the street level, and any remaining lights turn back on. This set is now once again ready to scare an entire tram-load of new guests and shake and tear itself apart.

Despite its age of 35 years since opening, this harrowing event on the Universal Studios Hollywood Studio Tour proudly boasts the title of one of the best experience along the entire tour. If you're ever in the area, be sure to check out the tour to experience this attraction firsthand [Videos do not do it justice, it's much more intense in person].
