At Universal Studios Hollywood, you can catch plenty of live shows, which offer their own versions of behind-the-scenes explorations of movie magic. Go to one of these shows and you’ll get a nice reminder that, beyond the theme park rides, this is still a vibrant working studio.
WaterWorld, Universal Studios' No. 1 rated show, offers thrilling jet-ski stunts, perilous plunges, and a simulated seaplane crash as the water-stranded cast members pursue salvation by finding dry land.
Download the Universal Studios Hollywood Mobile App to track the show times for various shows during your visit. Or, ask staffers about character meet-and-greets around the park, offering the chance to pose for a pic with the Minions, Shrek, the Simpsons, Scooby Doo, and more.
