Summary

The main sound stage.

Pre-show

From the main queue line, guests are directed to one of 3 smaller lines which lead to 3 separate rows in the pre-show room. Once inside, Steven Spielberg (Steven Spielberg and Zhang Yimou in Universal Studios Beijing), appears on a video projection screen, gives a brief introduction to the use of sound stages and special effects in movies. A video montage showcasing special effects from various films is then shown, after which the audience is then briefed by Spielberg about the scene they will see on the main sound stage.

Singapore

Set in an old boating house of New York City a Category 4 Hurricane, which turns into a Category 5 Hurricane batters New York City.

Beijing

Set in Shanghai, a super typhoon batters Shanghai.

Post Pre-show

After the pre-show, the audience still keeps to their 3 separate rows, enter the main sound stage, which is modelled after the interior of a boathouse in New York City (Shanghai for the Beijing version). Once the command to roll cameras has been given, a news broadcast will be shown about the hurricane or typhoon, urging the audience to remain calm, the sky (a projection of the NYC or Shanghai skyline outside the boathouse windows) darkens, thunder and lightning fill the room, heavy rain pours through the ceiling, and the audience is immersed in various effects such as strong wind, intense fire, signboards crashing through the roof, the boathouse windows blowing away, movement of the platform they are standing on, and a huge cargo ship (coming from the left in Singapore and right in Beijing) slamming through the boathouse entrance. This part of the show lasts approximately 3 minutes. Once the show is over, the audience exit the sound stage and emerge into the New York zone of the theme park.
