Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit. On this super-wild coaster, you select the sound track.

MEN IN BLACK: Alien Attack. The "world's first ride-through video game" gives you a chance to plug away at an endless swarm of aliens.

Revenge of the Mummy. It's a jarring, rocketing indoor coaster that takes you past scary mummies and billowing balls of fire (really).

Universal Horror Make-Up Show. This sometimes gross, often raunchy, but always entertaining demonstration merges the best of stand-up comedy with creepy effects.

For Ages 6 and Under

Animal Actors on Location! It's a perfect family show starring a menagerie of animals whose unusually high IQs are surpassed only by their cuteness and cuddle-ability.

A Day in the Park with Barney. Small children love the big purple dinosaur and the chance to sing along.
