    Pre-show for Fall Guy (May 18th 2024)
    Diele K.

    For a limited time in May there was a Fall Guy stunt, which I thought was phenomenal and glad I got to see it during its short time. The show overall is always spectacular and I can't stress this enough... if your seat is marked a splash zone, then be prepared! You WILL get wet. It's quite hilarious when it isn't you, but I can see folks getting upset as some areas get absolutely drenched! Don't forget this works for Universal Express Pass if you purchased for better seat availability.

    WaterWorld is probably one of those movies that kids have no idea what it was or about. I wonder if they'll replace this one day with something more "current." But it's a great sit and do nothing and enjoy a stunt show. Just beware, do not sit on the colored benches unless you want to get drenched. Even sitting a couple benches back, we still got a bit of splash back. The overhead covering isn't enough to keep the heat away, just beware of that if it's 90+ degrees. It's still hot. But again, if you're trying to just calm down from all the motion sickness full rides, this one is a great one just to rest with and it's full of great stunts!

    Action!

    It's a fast-paced show that's funny (cheesy script), exciting and family-oriented. The stunts are pretty amazing and the special effects are spectacular! You may even get a little wet! Avoid the green seats if you want to stay dry. Take the kids, have a blast while enjoying the blasts, the falls, the jumps and all the action! If you've travelled all the way to California, this is a great way to catch some of that Hollywood Magic! It's also a great way to end your day at Universal Studios Hollywood! The kids love it! If you'd like to watch a snippet of the show, here's a link to a YouTube short: https://youtube.com/shorts/JjkDzdphTcc?si=z69UDsY4z4MwH21Y

    Warning you may get wet. This was the first attraction we saw when we came to Universal. And it was a good start. First the build up was great. Before the show, the performers have a comedy routine explaining where you can potentially get wet. It's done is such a great way you can't stop laughing. Plus audience participation is mandatory. Then the actual show starts and it has its moments. There are some pyrotechnics, plenty of cheesy one liners, and over dramatic falls. But overall a good show. The audience laughed, booed, and had fun. So in the end it's a great time with friends and family. Overall five stars. It's a 20 min show that makes you well laugh, boo, and have fun. Yea I know I repeated what I just wrote but it's worth emphasizing again. Now excuse me, time to plan the next ride. M

    I have NEVER seen WaterWorld (this show and the movie) and we came here since we wanted to kill some time and not wait hours in line. My friend who went to Universal earlier in the year said that this show was a must, so my expectations were pretty high. Just a word of warning, if you sit in the splash zone, YOU WILL GET WET, from actors spraying and dumping water on you, explosions, or jet skis doing turns, and so much. I don't want to ruin the plot but there's so much fire, stunts, fighting, explosions, diving into the water, and a huge unexpected crash that was pretty cool. Also I did not know the actors here were actual actors for other shows, so that's pretty neat too. You'll get a chance to meet them after the show. One of the MUST shows at Universal if you are planning on going!

    Live King Crab!!! Yummy!

    Destino was our waiter and he was awesome and went above and beyond in his services and suggestions what's the best to order. We enjoyed the king crab, the clam chowder soup, tomatoes salad and all the other with snacks and everything. Highly recommend! Again Destino was great!! Bravo!

    What I can say about the Coolest Show in Southern California only offered at Universal Studios Hollywood!!! Depending on how wet you would like to get will depend on proper positioning in the show... Green seating area gets you wet but sitting let of the tower getaway you drenched with the middle being the second wettest and the right and ok I'm wet but dry by the end of the show... The actors do change over time but they always give you the best show... Watching the show closer to twilight allows the pyrotechnics to really stand out and the Shockwave heat goes up a notch... All I can say is this is one show you have to watch when you visit USH!!! If you don't you will regret it..

    This is one of the really good shows to watch when you are at Universal Studios. If you don't want to get wet, don't sit in the areas marked for that. If you don't want to sit in the sun, I would recommend standing in line early so that you can pick where you want to sit. If you like a show full of action, this is definitely the place. This show is based on the movie WaterWorld which was out a LONG time ago, but no matter, the show is action packed full of stunts. Enjoy!!

    Amazing show! If you sit in the green seats you will be SOAKED! It was epic. Although should have done earlier show as was still damp heading home. Also, didn't realise it wasn't a ride but a show

    Lovely evening show.
    Ian M.

    Absolutely the highlight of every time I visit this park. The performance never gets old and it never disappoints. This trip was cool cuz we caught the last showing just as it was getting dark. The explosions were even more powerful and the heat from them more intense. Outstanding actors, impressive stunt work, doesn't overstay its welcome, and usually hilarious with viewer engagement. Be ready to get wet! Stop by here for sure. I have a hard time imagining anyone being disappointed by the show. My in-laws were unsure about attending, but it was a highlight for all of them afterwards. Just do it. But get there a lil extra early as it does reach capacity at times. Now you know!

    Damn great show!

He also loved the few rides he could get on, waiting more than 1.5 hours for some. I think you can pay for a pass that gets you on a ride faster, but we are not rich. The food served there is very good and all enjoyed it. The stores are so expensive, no thanks. The staff is nice and they try to do a good job and I thank them for that. They also changed the hours on us at the last minute. I bought the tickets and read the hours. But they put up some event cutting us out of several hours. That is not okay. I did not get what I paid for.
