Twister
combines an elaborate set and special effects, climaxing with a five-story-tall
simulated tornado created by circulating 2 million cubic feet of air per minute. The
wind, pounding rain, and freight-train sound of the tornado are deafening, and the
entire presentation is exceptionally intense. Schoolchildren are mightily impressed,
while younger children are terrified and overwhelmed. Unless you want the kids hop-
ping in your bed whenever they hear thunder, try this attraction yourself before taking
your kids.
