** The attraction was originally slated to open in March 1998, but ended up being pushed back several months out of respect, because in the February of that same year there had been an outbreak of tornadoes in Central Florida that claimed 42 lives and injured 260 others, the deadliest outbreak in Florida history.
** The number on the attraction's firehouse facade was originally "911", but after the events of 9/11, it was changed to "291".

* HostilityOnTheSet: Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt grew to dislike each other so much during the course of the filming of ''Film/{{Twister}}'' that they refused to make the pre-show video together. Instead, each filmed their part separately, and the video has continuous cuts to each actor.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen: An early concept for the replacing ''Ride/RaceThroughNewYorkStarringJimmyFallon'' attraction had it basically being "Twister: UnderNewManagement", where Jimmy would interrupt Bill Paxton and Helen Hunt in the middle of their pre-show speeches, and then proceed to take over the attraction and do his own spin on it. It was later decided to make the new attraction its own thing, likely to fix the area's NetworkDecay problem.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: At launch, the "tornado" (already a rather unimpressive small funnel to begin with) was notoriously finicky and difficult to create consistently; eventually, the flying cow prop was removed from the scene (though the sound of a mooing cow can still be heard) as that was determined to be the major culprit.

** The firehouse facade from ''Theatre/GhostbustersSpooktacular'' was retained. As a ShoutOut, one of the windows on it had an advertisement for a "Paranormal Travel Agency". Some of its interior was removed during construction of ''Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit'', but the facade itself remains to this day.
