T2-3D: Battle Across Time was one of Universal’s most ambitious attractions ever built, combining a brand-new Terminator sequel with live stunt performers, massive 3-D projection, practical effects, pyrotechnics and a theater that physically transformed around the audience. In this episode of How It Worked, we’re going through the history of Terminator 2: 3-D, how Universal and James Cameron created it, and the hidden technology that made actors appear to jump directly in and out of the movie screen. The project began in the early 1990s when Universal asked Gary Goddard and Landmark Entertainment to develop a Terminator attraction. What started as a stunt-show concept evolved into a theatrical experience where a 3-D film and live performers had to behave like one continuous scene. James Cameron initially had reservations about turning Terminator into a theme park attraction, but the concept won him over. Cameron returned with Arnold Schwarzenegger, Linda Hamilton, Edward Furlong and Robert Patrick to create a new story that continued after Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Universal built a full-size test theater inside an airplane hangar in Van Nuys so the team could figure out something nobody had really attempted on this scale before: making live actors disappear into a projected movie and then come back out again seconds later. The finished theater used three huge screens wrapping around the audience. Six projectors ran large-format stereoscopic film while hidden panels, sliding scenery, hydraulic lifts and carefully positioned lighting allowed stunt performers to appear to cross between the physical stage and the filmed world. One of the attraction’s biggest tricks involved the Terminator arriving on his Harley-Davidson. Arnold appeared on screen riding toward the audience, then a flash and carefully timed screen movement revealed a real motorcycle and stunt performer continuing the same motion onstage. Later, the theater itself seemed to descend into Skynet. Moving walls and scenery around the theater created the illusion that the entire room was traveling downward before additional screens were revealed around the audience. The finale combined three-screen 3-D film with live performers, smoke, explosions and the T-1000000, a massive liquid-metal creature created digitally for the attraction. When Skynet was destroyed, the theater filled with fog and the seats physically dropped to make the explosion feel like it had hit the audience. Timing was everything. The film could not wait for a stunt performer who was late. Actors, motorcycle systems, projection, moving scenery, weapons, sound and effects all had to hit their cues precisely and then reset for the next audience. T2-3D opened at Universal Studios Florida in 1996 before coming to Universal Studios Hollywood in 1999 and Universal Studios Japan in 2001. Hollywood’s version operated until the end of 2012, when it closed to make way for Despicable Me Minion Mayhem.
