Wonderworks~how long is reasonable?

[turning40withMickey]

We are going to Wonderworks and the Outta Control Dinner Show. I am wondering how much time to allow for the Wonderworks part of it. We will probably go to a waterpark in the morning and are eating at the 6PM show.

Anyone been there? How long for three teens to enjoy the rock wall, 4D movie thing and other attractions?

We were there a week ago.
I don't remember a rock wall, maybe we missed that? There is a rope course where you are put in a harness and travel around a small course. It's $5 extra, and it takes about 15 minutes as long as there's not someone really slow in front of you The 4d movie is pretty short, maybe 10 minutes or so. The rest of Wonderworks depends on if you take the time to do everything. Most things that I thought were interesting seemed to bore my 13 year old. The build your own roller coaster was ok, but we've done the one at DisneyQuest several times before, and DQ is a lot better, so we weren't too impressed with the Wonder Works one. There was also a wait for that.
There is lazer tag for an additional fee too, but we didn't do that so I can't tell you how good it is. In total, we probably took about 2.5 hours to get through it.

The best part of our day was the Outta Control dinner show. Tony Brent was really awesome! The magic was fun, the comedy was really great. We had great people at our table... everyone was having a wonderful time!

We got our combo tickets for $34 each, so it was well worth it. Had we paid the at the door price of $25 for Wonderworks, and $25 for the dinner show, I think I would have been a bit disappointed with Wonderworks. But for the price of both of them, I was really satisfied with it.
My daughter said Wonderworks was fun, but she wouldn't want to do it again... but she wants to go back to see the Outta Control show again.

Thanks, that review was really helpful! Must be the ropes course I am thinking of, I thought it said rock wall... We are doing the comedy show, too! I already have tickets bought at a discount, so I am sure we won't be disappointed.

Where did you find your combo tickets at? Everywhere I was looking only had the normal tickets, without the dinner show. Would love to save $$$$ on these. thanks.

I ordered mine from halfoff depot, orlando . THey have a lot of great deals on tickets for different attractions.

I purchased ours at "The official Ticket Center", located in Kissimee. http://www.officialticketcenter.com/discount-outa-control-magic-show-dinner-show-tickets.aspx.

I just drove down there to get them without first ordering them online. We got them for the same night, but only because there was just 2 of us. The magic show sells out fast, so be sure to make your reservations early.

I know this is an older thread, but I took my kids to Wonderworks this week. We had spent the day prior at the pool, so wanted to stay out of the sun for a day. We bought tickets at our hotel concierge here at Marriott Harbor Lake (I had some Marriott gift cards to use). We initially were going to do the comedy show, but decided to just do woderworks.

My kids had a great time with everything, except we didn't do the 4d movie (we get motion sick) or the roller coaster (ditto). I felt like it was a combination science center on steroids and game room with prizes (we spent extra on video games). My daughter loved the ropes course!

We spent about 4 to 5 hours there, and she was actually sore the next day from the ropes course - it was quite a workout for her (she was up there for a long time). All in all, I was pleased with it, and think it's a good indoor day for kids. Got us out of the sun, and they had fun. Also, the snacks were not expensive either - about $5 for a kids' meal with a drink.
