I posted that bootleg copies of the movie part of the "ride" are available to watch on youtube and download on most torrent sites. however, this keeps getting deleted because it's not cited. how the hell do you cite a fact/verb? I could cite the download link if needed. i think it should be stated in the article though cuz it's pretty relevant. 74.76.96.112 ( talk) 04:10, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
Even though i didn't put forward the merge its pretty obvious that the two articles are of the same attraction so there is no reason why they should be merged with a wikilink placed on the article that will lose its information.
As for which page should be merged, well the article's name should be the same as the ride it is about however i'm not sure which it is so someone else will have to do the merge to make sure that it is correct. TheEnlightened 21:33, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

I am not sure if this experience was universal among ride visitors but, when my family went to this attraction in Florida, a man was planted in the audience pretending to be someone waiting on the ride. After a certain time in line, he would begin screaming about the dangers of what Cyberdyne is doing and basically warning everyone about Cyberdyne's plan for the terminator robots.
Almost immediately after he begins his rant, two security guards in Cyberdyne uniforms rush into the line and drag him, kicking in the air and yelling further warnings, out of the line and through an employees only door.
Has anyone else shared this experience? This was around the time when the ride was a new attraction, so this bit of theatrics may have been abandoned later. It certainly added to the audience's sense of immersion however. Palehorse864 04:02, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Image:T-70.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

The onscreen title does use the subtitle "Battle Across Time," and nor do the Orlando Hollywood and Orlando Japan official sites; additionally, the hostess in the Orlando Hollywood video clip does not title it that. "Battle Across Time" seems an unofficial marketing title, like Die Hard 2: Die Harder, the latter part of which is not part of the Wikipedia article's name (but is mentioned in the intro as a marketing line). As we do with Die Hard 2 and Superman (for which Wikipedia does not title its article with the incorrect "Superman: The Movie"), I'm wondering whether we should go here with the most accurate, encyclopedic title rather than a marketing phrase.-- 24.215.162.198 ( talk) 18:01, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
During the Preshow the Skynet AI "talks" to the audience using a text promter, inviting them to "Freak out" the tour guide by calling his/her name. Also, during the transition to the future, The Terminator appears in the present fully clothed in a leather jacket, and riding a motorcycle. CthulhuRlyeh ( talk) 04:41, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
I initiated the Production section two years ago for the original article but immediately decided to yank the info that I had added about the initial mock-up, because it could not be properly referenced to any published works. "Wikipedia does not publish original research or original thought. This includes unpublished facts, arguments, speculation, and ideas; and any unpublished analysis or synthesis of published material that serves to advance a position. This means that Wikipedia is not the place to publish your own opinions or experiences."
Unfortunately, somebody reverts the edit, against Wikipedia protocol, whenever I try to remove my own contribution. So here's the deal: if you can find published references to this material, then please add the citations. Otherwise, when I attempt to delete my contributions yet again, please resist the temptation to revert.
Thanks for your consideration. Projection70 ( talk) 22:11, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
The combined infobox is better than a bunch of separate infoboxes. However, it doesn't add any new important information.
Having a separate infobox with mostly trivial or duplicate information is just a waste of space on the page. ColdFusion650 ( talk) 13:37, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
1. The entrance images don't clutter anything, they are needed to inform of the attraction, NOT JUST the movie.
2.The other infobox IS needed. This article is supposed to be about the attractions in general, Not just the film, the infobox needs to stay there.
You seem to act like this was a theater released film. To remind you, It is actually a 3-D show attraction at the Universal Studios theme parks. Besides, the whole thing isn't even completely a film anyway.-- Snowman Guy ( talk) 01:21, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
Also, a suggestion: per Wikipedia's policy, it is better to make a compromise with other users in situations like this, rather then just reverting the article's content.-- Snowman Guy ( talk) 01:23, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
As for the previous attraction at Hollywood, it should at least be mentioned under the Production section-- Snowman Guy ( talk) 02:06, 23 June 2008 (UTC) Production is fine. ColdFusion650 ( talk) 02:15, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
In the Production section, this appears: "The unique 3-D film format used six, solid-state Electrosonic projectors that were electronically interlocked to run 70mm film synchronously" Electrosonics is a company specializing in presentation technology for theme parks, museums, etc. To my knowledge, there is no "Electrosonic projector." This mistake is probably the result of a press release or similar material stating that projectors were provided by Electrosonics. Additionally, there's a disconnect between "solid state" and "70mm film." This and other info in the production section is a bit unclear. Some good information can be found here: Soundelux Florida's multi-channel surround-sound system for T2:3D in an article by Mel Lambert. Though the source is cited as "unknown" for the article, it reads like something Lambert would have written for Mix Magazine. MRJayMach ( talk) 09:54, 27 August 2008
This basically is a repeat of what was posted in the talk page for Disaster! ...
I undid the edits made saying that the attraction would be going to a seasonal operating schedule. Universal has made no such statements, or at least none in the media. The rumors I have heard, on the other hand, have stated that the show will actually run daily, but with fewer shows per day. This makes sense actually; maybe opening at 11am instead of 9am, running one show an hour until closing (I think they run 2 or 3 now per hour). Again, this much is still rumor. Until something verifiable is posted, no mention needs to be made. -- McDoobAU93 ( talk) 17:39, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
See above. Look at attraction videos or pictures and look for these actors, which they aren't in any or have anything to do with the attraction. -- Pathollywood06 ( talk) 02:17, 15 February 2009 (UTC)'
I Don't See That? I looked everywhere on the internet and couldn't find source. could someone show me where they have that? OTherwise This Page should be deleted! 24.7.204.215 ( talk) 21:40, 4 September 2009 (UTC)
