I absolutely love this attraction. I would be very sad, and maybe mad, if they removed this attraction. If anything, I'd love for them to update the show to 4K, like what someone else here suggested. Maybe add a bit more pyro effects as well - that's one of the main reasons why I love it (including the Terminator theme, since it's such a great story).
I always visit this attraction when I visit the parks (season pass holder).
The show has some of the best in theater effects you will find at any theme park. The updated preshow is amazing. The only thing that could use changing is updating the main show to 4K.
Has to be the worst attraction! Outdated movie and outlay. One of the robots could be displayed elsewhere and the rest auctioned for die-hard collectors. Truly a waste of time, in my opinion. So much space for something more current (New Ghostbusters,etc.)
This show is a hidden gem. It's tucked in a tiny corner in the studios side of the park. The mix of 3d, live actors, pyro and stunts are amazing. Really impressed with this show, and the pre-show is new and very good.
