A Very short Universal Trip

[tinkerbell615]

Okay... so I rely on this board for so much information and I was wondering if all of you could help.

DH and I will be going to DW in April to watch our daughter march at Epcot. The last day of our trip we are going to Universal. We have never been there before and would love some advise on what are the best things to do on a very short trip. We will get there early in the morning, but will probably leave by about 6:00 to start our very long journey back home... about 15 hours driving.

DH has a bad back and I have some problems with my ear and dizziness/vertigo, so we really won't be riding a whole lot of rides that go upside down, etc. Are there shows that we could see or things that we really would want to see before leaving? We have never been there before and would love some advice.

So sorry for the long post, but I just want to have a game plan before we get there.

You definately want to see the Horror Make-Up show and the Animal Actors show is cute. These are located at the Studios. You would also enjoy E.T., Twister, Shrek 4-D (there is stationary seating) and possibly Jaws. I don't think you'd enjoy many rides at IOA since those are thrill/spinning type rides although Poseidon's Fury isn't bad.

At IOA there are 2 show types which is Sinbad which I have never seen and Poseidans fury which I kinda like and is worth seeing imo. Not sure how young your daughter is but they have Seuss land with some fun stuff there. Cat in the hat does spin btw. At Universal there is some good shows, Shrek 4D show, T2 3D show(imo dont miss), Beetlejuice(Also fun), Horror make up show, and Blues brothers. If you get dizzy from spinning you may want to avoid Men in Black and Cat in Hat.

Just to let you know, nothing at Universal Studios goes upside down. The only rides that go upside down in Islands are Hulk and Dueling Dragons.
