SECRETS

..::New York::..

Inside Secret: There is a basketball court across from Michael's Restaurants, aka Louie's, in that alley where the exit to the arcade is. If you buy a Universal basketball you could play there, until security comes and asks you to move along.

Inside Secret:
Twister has had 2 Disasters that have caused the ride to delayed and changed.
Universal originally planned to unveil "Twister" in March 1998; but Mother Nature had a different idea. It was Monday, Feb. 23, 1998 from 12am - 4am when the worst outbreak of Tornadoes ever recorded "7" ripped through parts of Central Florida killing 42 people. Universal delayed the attraction's opening until May in deference to victims. September 11, 2001 Attack on America caused the Twister House (Queue Area) to have it's home number 911 changed to 11, now 111.

Inside Secret: Now that Kongfrontation is no longer at Universal, they did manage to sneak in a few references to the past attraction at Revenge of The Mummy. In the queue, keep your eyes pealed for a few bananas shattered about. Also in the queue look for the 2 giant ape hieroglyphs near the giant Anubis. When the ride starts there will be a sucked dry tourist with a "Kong Rules" hat on. In the "Treasure Room" on the left side near the front of the room is a 3FT tall golden Kong statue.
