OI Fun Facts
- Race through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon, which opened on April 26, 2017, replaced Twister: Ride It Out.
- The end sequence demonstrated what happened when a tornado struck the small town of Wakita, Oklahoma. Like Terminator 2 3D: Battle across Time, there was a boom at the end!
- Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt refused to be in the same room when the pre-show video was being filmed for this attraction (who knows what they were fighting about). If you pay attention, you will notice that they are never in the same camera shot.
