This is one of Universal’s highly renown live shows, and should not be missed. For those who don't want to get wet, they've taken the liberty of marking the wet zones for you. There are explosions, along with load sound effects that might frighten young children. The show is approximately 15 minutes.

The BEST show in any theme park even after all the years. Great action and storyline. The finally in amazing! - Erik Avila

I guess this took the place of the Wild West Stunt Show. Anyway, this stunt show is a shorten version of the movie of the same name. The stunts were excellent and the pyrotechnics could be felt in the back row. A little loud for my taste but what would you expect from all those explosions. First few rows is a good place to get wet during the summer but the back rows do offer more shade, depending on the time of day. Definitely worth watching as it makes you feel like the movie comes alive on stage. - Danilo Francisco

The best of it's kind bar none. Waterworld is a fast and furious stunt spectacular on a scale that blows every other show out of the water....... in every respect. - Rob P

From bad movie to great live show. The pre-show guys always get me, and the stunts continue to amaze. Sit in the soak zone, it's the best way to go (and if you want to get really wet, sit in the middle seats, toward the right side when you approach it). Overall, awesome performance. - T.S. Stone

An amazing show that never gets old. The story line is fun and the action is non stop with great stunts. Even the preshow is always entertaining. The show isn't very long(about 15 minutes)but every minute is fun and there is never a dull moment. Since this is the most popular show in the park a line starts to form about 30 minutes before the start of the show. I suggest getting in line at least about 15 minutes prior to show time and when admitted, going behind the bleachers(since there isn't much congestion) and you can walk quickly to the middle set of bleachers. If you arrive late then you'll get a crummy seat or a seat where you will get wet. Whatever you do, don't miss this awesome show. - Manny Barron

8/10 My family and I used to go to universal about once a month with friends when I was four. Those were some of the best days of my life and this show was always the perfect ending to the day. Me and my friend Val had never seen anything like it. It's a pretty solid show, with some amazing action sequences. I think it's starting to get a little old and it needs an update. - Jack Borgeson

The greatest theme park stuntshow ever! I was completely satistfied. - Dan Rosenberg

Is it sad that this show is ten billion times better than the actual movie? This is definitely "Spectacular" as the stunt work is phenomenal, and the action is great! There is a good storyline for a stunt show and the last act is worth the price of admission to the park. - Brandon Mendoza
