 StormStruck at Innoventions in Epcot opened a few days ago. It is still in tweak mode before the official open so some things are going to change. Here is a brief explanation of the show:
1) You enter the preshow area. It can hold two shows worth. The group closest to the entrance will get 3-d glasses like you would wear at any other 3-d show.
2) A few minutes before the inside show begins you see a brief preshow on a screen above the entrance door. There is also another screen at the back of the line. The volume was a little low so I couldn't hear what they were saying. But the idea was about a storm machine that tested building material to see what would work during a major storm.
3) You enter the show room. I think they could have explained this a little better, but your sitting in a room in a house with a couple big windows. The windows are actually 3-d screens. The are 4 rows of benches with each seat on the bench having a screen and two buttons.
4) The show starts with you looking out the windows at a garage and a neighbors house. The storm starts. Wind blowing trees falling and the roofs tearing off. The glass breaks and you get spray in your face..(The part I hated the most is that it kept spraying me in the mouth. I could have lived without the spray). Of course the storm destroys everything.
5) You now get a quiz of questions about what building material is the best against storms. You get to choose A or B for each one. The computer build a house on your choices (popular vote wins).
6) The show then runs with your choices and you see how it works out.
7) The host then tells you what the right answers were and why.
8) You exit to the post show area.
The post show area shows a machine that simulates wind. There are some other displays.
Overall right now I would say its a B on the scale of Innoventions shows. It could get to an A with tweaking. I think its a good fit for epcot. It can no way be compared to the Twister at Universal.
