VIDEO: Remembering Terminator 2 3D

t23Universal City, CA, USA (December 31, 2012) — Today marks the final day of operation of Terminator 2 3D: Battle Across Time at Universal Studios Hollywood.  The attraction will continue to operate at Universal Studios parks in Orlando, FL and Osaka, Japan for the time being.  Universal officials have announced that a new attraction will take its place though they have not yet announced which attraction.  Although on December 6, 2011, Universal announced that a West Coast version of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter would be built at the LA area park, the replacement of the Terminator attraction had been included for some time in Universal’s 20 year plan for redefining the studio and entertainment property.  Following is a 1996 Sci-Fi Channel documentary on the making of the Florida version of the attraction (minor changes were made for the Hollywood version), featuring many of the key designers on the attraction, including Gary Goddard and Adam Bezark.
