US/IOA - best show for 7 and 10 yr old?

[pantherlj]

OK, I know it's like "what is your favorite ride" but we didn't catch any shows at US/IOA the past 2 days. We plan on going for a 1/2 day on Saturday.

What would be a show we shouldn't miss with our 7 and 10 year old girls?

I saw it looks like there might be a pig in the animal show? My oldest loves pigs - is that a good one?

Animal Actors Live(thats the one with the pig) is A great show for kids and adults.After that You can do E,T, and hit the kidzone.There all in the same area.If they like they can ride Woody Wood Pecker nuthouse coaster and Fievals play area I still like when we go with nieces and nephews.You can easly spend 1/2 A day in this area..

Thanks. We were in that area today but skipped all shows today. I saw it but wasn't sure it was worth the time (and had no idea how long it would take). We will aim for that one next time. My 6 year old and I were waiting outside the hulk for my 10 yr old and DH and the attendant told us about the ball zone. I had never heard of it before. We all had a great time there!! Woody and ET were walk ons today so we were able to enjoy everything it no time. We didn't do the other play zone but I could see a 1/2 day in the play areas.

Beetlejuice is a bit risque for kids that age. Fear Factor (if it is even open) probably would be boring to them. The Horror Makeup Show is a lot of fun but possibly scary for them. Terminator and Shrek (not sure if they are considered shows but they are closer to shows than rides) would both wow them with the 3D effects and they would have a great time at the Animal Actors show.

Thanks for the heads up on beetlejuice and fear factor! We did Shrek and enjoyed it!! Thought Terminator might be too much for 6 year old, we might try to hit that one.

Thanks for the input on the animal actors, we will really try to make one of those shows.

I consider Terminator a show, I think this would be great for them and Shrek. I also consider Poisieden's Fury a show, it is not one of my favorites, but I do like it and it is worth going to, its pretty cool, some people love it, its in the Lost Continent.

Don't forget the Sinbad stunt show at IOA! It's entertaining for both adults and children!

My kids and nieces love the Horror Make-up show!

Thanks for the input. We ended up doing more rides than I thought we would but we did end up seeing the Animal Actors show. It was cute and my oldest daughter got picked to go up on stage. Not really a miracle since there were only about 10 kids in the audience LOL.
