EARTHQUAKE is based on the 1974 blockbuster film. This ride is broken down into 4 parts, the first part being "Movie Magic" which the host talks about various movie effects and offers demonstrations. The gag is "Gene Kelly wasn't singing in the rain... he was singing in the milk."  The host then picks people from the crowd to help in the 3rd part of the show "How The Magic is Created" they pick the most eager people either kids or adults. Then we move on to "Behind The Magic" where we are shown various clips of Universal Films such as Jurassic Park, Back to the Future, Twister, T2 and more. Then Charlton Heston reveals how the effects in EARTHQUAKE were created. Then we are shown various Movie Props, the small cityscape used in EARTHQUAKE, U571 Sub, The Grinch Sled, and E.T.'s UFO. Then we are ushered to the 3rd part of the show "How Magic is Created" Their is a U571 Mockup Sub with a blue screen behind it. The crew picked at the beginning of the show are used here to show how "blue screens" are used in films. Then we go to the stunt man who was picked at the beginning of the show who dangles 4 stories in the air to show "map paint" technique. Then the final part is the ride itself. You take the Bay Area Rapid Transit down to Embarcadero Square, when you get there you feel a slight tremor, and think nothing of it. Then the "Big One" hits... 8.3 on the Richter Scale, flames shot up from the ground as gas pipes rupture. A ceiling above caves in as a gasoline tanker truck from the road above slams into a concrete pillar on the left side of the tram exploding into a massive ball of flames. Then another tram on the opposite side of the station runs off the track and narrowly misses the tram. The EARTHQUAKE stops, but when you think it's over water rushes down the steps on the right of the tram getting people on that side wet as the host yells "CUT! That's a Wrap!".

Welcome to Amity Island, before you get to the ride you travel through the small peaceful town of Amity. With its aroma of sea food and salt water, to it's midway, shops and restaurants you no longer believe you are in a theme park but instead in this small town. Captain Jake welcomes you aboard the Amity Boat Tour where you will follow the sights of the famous scenes of the film JAWS. The trip starts off peaceful and serene until a mayday call is dispatched by another tour boat. As we round the lighthouse we see the remains of that tour boat but there are no survivors. The waters are not safe for long as JAWS appears off to the left. JAWS nearly tips the boat over as he goes under it. He then appears on the right side of the boat as the skipper fires a grenade launcher at him. We head for a boat house for safety, the dark foggy boat house begins to creep and squeak as buckets of chum tip over and boats come crashing down into the water. Then a loud crash is heard as JAWS breaks threw the boat house and side swipes the boat nearly tipping it over again. We head out of the boat house to a gas dock where the skipper is looking for JAWS with the grenade launcher pointing out at the water. JAWS pops up and causes the boat to tip slightly making the skipper miss him and hit the gas dock which goes up in flames nearly burning us to a crisp. We quickly move on to a boat dock were we will be unloaded, however JAWS pops up on the left and heads right for us. Instead of taking a bite out of us he snags an electrical wire on the High Voltage Barge in the lagoon. The boat fills with smoke as the air begins to smell of burnt shark. The burned remains of JAWS floats up as he tries to make one final attempt to devour us, but this time the skipper hits him with the grenade launcher and he is fish food.

Fear Factor Live marks the first time a reality television show has been transformed into a theme park experience.  It is also the first NBC television product to be fully integrated into Universal’s theme parks. Audience members will experience the thrill of the blockbuster series in a way they could not before: live. In each show, park guests will compete against each other in a progression of extreme stunts. The stunts have been developed with help from Fear Factor’s creators and are designed to test the physical and emotional limits of each contestant. Imagine drinking a smoothie made of blended worms, crickets, sauerkraut, sardines, octopus and fish; or swinging high in the air on a harness while tossing slimy squid to a partner; or fishing with your bare hands through a tank of live eels; or having a bucket of squirming, slithering snakes dumped onto your head. Fear Factor Live contestants will do this and more. Members of the audience will play an interactive role by blasting contestants with water and air and controlling obstacles on stage.  In addition, audience members can spin the “Wheel of Fear” and confront their own phobias.
