Flying

Own a piece of history! You can now buy the actual flying cow from the finale scene of Twister... Ride it Out at Universal Studios Florida. The cow, along with the flying Dororthy III from the end scene, are on sale at the newly opened Williams of Hollywood Prop Shop inside Universal Studios.

See all the images below and stay tuned for more theme park updates all this week!

A key scene featured in the film depicts a large aviary where these flying reptiles escape and cause havoc. ...continue reading →
