* Backdraft: Intense, fire-based show recreates the film's final scene, a chemical warehouse fire with exploding barrels and falling catwalks. Stand in the back row to stay cooler.

* Shrek 4-D: The fourth "D" is your seat, which seems to be constantly moving. The story is cute, like the film. Use stationary seats in the back row if you'd rather not get jostled.

* Special Effects Stage: Learn how sound and visual effects are created and how monsters are made.

* Studio Tour: Updated in 2006, the tour visits parts of the working studio, classic sets such as Jaws and Psycho and made-for-the-tour acts such as a face-to-face encounter with King Kong. If it makes you want to learn more about how films are made, try the Warner Bros. or Paramount studio tours.

* Terminator 2:3D: This action-packed, 3-D film depicts a battle at Cyberdyne Technologies, and is full of loud noises, strobe lights, fog and effects.

* WaterWorld: Jet ski tricks and fire effects are just part of this stunt show. If you sit in the green seats, you'll get wet.

* House of Horrors: An old-fashioned, carnival fun house updated movie-style, this walk-through attraction (which has some stairs) is full of screams and surprises.

* The Simpsons Ride: The most entertaining attraction in the park combines a wild, cartoon ride through Krustyland with a motion simulator. The storyline pokes fun at most of the theme parks in the area. See how many you can recognize. Minimum height: 40 inches.

* Jurassic Park - The Ride: an indoor/outdoor ride that drops you down an 80-foot waterfall. Getting wet? Guaranteed. Minimum height: 46 inches.

* Nickelodeon Blast Zone: A playground-full of Nickelodeon characters also includes some interactive water effects.

* Revenge of the Mummy - The Ride: This indoor, dark roller coaster is short, but that may be a virtue - if it were longer, it could be over-stimulating. Besides the Mummy theming, it goes forward, treats you to a creepy effect and then gets you back in reverse. Minimum height: 48 inches.

Billboards around the park give show schedules for The Blues Brothers, Fear Factor Live and Universal's Animal Actors. You can visit Lucy (of I Love Lucy): A Tribute any time.
