Recommended shows to see at Universal/IOA?

[calablovedisney]

Our first trip to Universal we somehow missed seeing any shows, except Poseidon's Fury. This time I would like to try some other shows and enjoy more of the park since I think we won't feel as rushed. What shows do you all recommend? Favorites? must-sees? or some not as great?
The trip is myself, dh and 2 dds, ages (turning 14 while there) & 16.
Down to looking at the details now since I am 2 weeks out! YAY!

Thanks.

Hands down favorite for me is Horror Makeup Show.
I like Disaster, Terminator and Twister, if you consider them shows.
Blues Brothers did a nice job.

Last trip we saw Animal Actors and most of the animals did not follow what they were supposed to do. It was frustrating. We also saw Fear Factor and wasn't too impressed.

Blues Brothers, Beetlejuice, Horror Makeup show and Animal Actors

To add to the list above, Celestina Warback, and Tales of Beetle the Bard in Diagon Alley are also very good.

Have you seen it yet?

We watched in March and it was terrible. I'd always enjoyed it previously, but it was so lackluster at that shoeing.

No...still waiting for some reviews. I heard that it was being totally revamped.
