We're now surrounded by 3D effects as they enter the core of Skynet. Terminator 2 3D: Battle across Time at Universal Studios Florida. Note - Each picture may be opened for a larger view. The main show for T2-3D begins once we're seated inside of the auditorium. After grabbing a pair of "safety glasses" (3-D glasses), we're sent into the "Miles Bennett Dyson Memorial Auditorium" to meet with our hostess, Kimberly Duncan, Cyberdyne's Director of Community Relations and Media Control. One person is electrocuted while another tries to access a secure area and is arrested. The video is blended smoothly and you may do a double-take when people get caught breaking the rules. Sarah (Linda Hamilton) and John Connor (Edward Furlong) appear on screen on behalf of the Resistance. Sarah Connor then tells us what she knows about Terminators and Judgment Day, and we see clips from Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Otherwise, take the time and make sure you see this show at Universal Studios Florida! Three mini Hunter-Killers are dispatched to wipe out the intruders. The T-1,000,000 is nearly re-assembled as John Connor jumps back into the time portal to return home. They do so and the T-1,000 jumps through the portal at the last minute, following the two of them back into the future. The T-800 warns John Connor that there's only one security system in the room, but it's a good one. It's a spectacular display as the Terminators shred the targets with pinpoint accuracy. This stops the T-1000 long enough for John and the T-800 to get away. It’s easy to see why: its rather ambitious premise … While she's speaking Kimberly Duncan returns and we hear her talking to somebody on the phone. The woman is cheery and a bit perky, but she goes ahead and shows us Cyberdyne System's latest promotional video. At this point the T2-3D show transforms from a stage show to mostly a 3-D movie. Kimberly requests that we put on our "safety glasses" before the T-70s begin their weapon demonstration. The bomb detonates and a massive fireball destroys the future version of Skynet.
The T-800 then shoots the T-1,000,000, causing it to break into a million little pieces. They ride towards Skynet's headquarters until a flying Hunter Killer (the aircraft-like contraptions) shoots at the motorcycle and causes them to crash. The initial planning for T2 3-D: Battle Across Time began in the early 1990s. Sarah runs on stage and stops the company's presentation. Things seem well until a small explosion opens a wall and in walks a Terminator endoskeleton. The version of the show at Universal Studios Hollywood closed in 2012, and the version at Universal Studios Florida closed on October 8, 2017. Terminator 2: 3-D: Battle Across Time opened on April 27, 1996, in the Hollywood section of Universal Studios Florida.

T2 3-D: Battle Across Time (the attraction’s more official title) will run through October 8, 2017before closing its doors to make way for an “all-new live action experience based on a high energy Universal franchise” set to open in 2019. Overhead television monitors keep us updated on the latest news concerning Cyberdyne Systems and its advancements. The attraction is themed as an open house at Cyberdyne Systems.

Those pieces quickly melt and begin to re-assemble back into a robot as the T-800 activates the time portal to send John Connor back in time. The Cyberdyne promotional video ends and we have an uneasy feeling about the company. Things are looking bleak until there's an electrical disturbance and a time portal opens on stage.

Here’s the actual statement: There’s not much to glean about the new attraction from this release, but it does speak volumes about the kind of theme park Universal Studios has become over the past deca…

While Terminator 2: 3-D - Battle Across Time takes some liberties with its storyline and the physics in the Terminator universe, T2-3D is still a spectacular show, something definitely not to be missed at Universal Studios Florida. As we know from the Terminator movies, Cyberdyne Systems is the company responsible for developing the technology for what would become the Terminators and Skynet. Terminator 2: 3-D ends and the guests exit the show through the Cyber Image store. The T-1,000 tries to slash at them with steel hands, but the T-800 shoots him with his shotgun. Although stunt actors are running around the auditorium, the real actors faces are shown on the television screens. When Battle across Time first debuted in April 1996, it instantly became one of Universal’s biggest hits, reaching a popularity that would help see it get exported to both Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Studios Japan in the years that followed (in 1999 and 2001, respectively). The T-800 and John Connor ride their motorcycle through the post-apocalyptic future as they're being chased by the T-1,000. The T-1,000,000 is frozen solid while sticking its head "inside" the auditorium. A few of the machines rise on pedestals on each side of the auditorium. This is a shining example of how 4-D shows should be created! There's a slight rumble in our seats as the movie screen widens into a super-widescreen 3-D display. John Connor and the T-800 hide in a decayed building and ultimately destroy all three of the mini Hunter-Killers. The final scene in T2-3D has Sarah and John Connor reuniting back on stage. The advanced machine looks like a giant spider as it ducks in and out of the auditorium, trying to catch John and the T-800. Just be warned that the gunfire in the auditorium is loud and realistic, and a few of the special effects may be frightening to the younger viewers. The monumental success of 1991's Terminator 2: Judgment Day film meant that more of the Terminator series was still on the horizon. Out rides the T-800 (Arnold Schwarzenegger) on a Harley-Davidson motorcycle. We also learn about Skynet, the new computerized defense system that will take military control out of human hands. They work to get the T-1,000,000 into position before the T-800 shoots a tank of liquid nitrogen, freezing the massive machine. This project would cost over $60 million to develop ($24 million for the film and $36 million for the special venue to show it inside the theme park). The machine walks into the building and puts John Connor in its sights when the T-800 attacks and destroys the Terminator. We're allowed to enter the main auditorium for a live demonstration of Cyberdyne's latest inventions. A thick cloud of fog rolls through the auditorium and our seats drop a couple of inches, giving the audience one last scare. Universal Studios Florida Hollywood Terminator 2: 3-D - Battle Across Time (April 27, 1996 - present) Photos of the Terminator 2: 3-D: Battle Across Time (T2-3D) show in the Hollywood section of Universal Studios Florida. Suddenly an alarm sounds and Sarah and John Connor descend from the ceiling. He fires a shotgun and temporarily wounds the T-1000. John Connor and the T-800 finally enter Skynet.


Things seem fine until there's a sudden interruption in the video feed. Just then the T-1,000,000 comes to life and tries to stop the intruders. There are numerous inventions and products that have a comical yet slightly sinister look to them. The Cyberdyne building is about to be attacked and all civilians have fifteen minutes to leave. Kimberly assures us that we've seen the last of "those people." Your source for guidemaps, brochures, vacation guides, and thousands of photos of Walt Disney World and Universal Orlando.
