This is one of the premier attractions at Universal Studios, so be prepared to wait in line. This attraction is actually divided into two sections: a pre-ride where you get to go behind the scenes of the movie Earthquake and then a ride in a subway car during an earthquake that registers 8.3 on the Richter scale.
The pre-show is fairly amusing. It takes volunteers out of the audience to demonstrate how some of the special effects from the movie were created. Charlton Heston makes a cameo and you get a live re-creation of some of the scenes.
The pre-ride prepares you for the second half of the show, a thrilling ride on the Bay Area Rapid Transit trains. As these trains enter a station, the earth starts to rumble and you begin to experience a severe earthquake. Trains are derailed, pipes burst, and flames shoot out as action takes place in every direction. The ride is exciting - one miraculous aspect is the massive destruction is reset and ready to go again in minutes. Expect lines for the 20-minute presentation.
