There are two ways to participate in this exhilarating show:

2. Once guests are seated in the outdoor theatre the host will ask for a handful of volunteers to participate in more kid-oriented tasks.

Audience participation in each show involves 18 guests, and 6 guests will be chosen per show to compete in 3 stunts with 1 winner. Winners can receive items like extra park tickets & passes, special souvenirs, etc.

The Mouse For Less Tips

• Fear Factor Live is intended for audiences of all ages, but certain stunts can be intense. Parental advisory is recommended for younger audience members.
• The theatre is equipped for the needs of every guest. American Sign Language (ASL) is provided at certain show times, wheelchairs (manual and ECV) are permitted, and service animals are also welcome. For more information on accessibility in the parks, click here.
• This show runs throughout the day so the wait times are typically not very long, though most wait times will vary depending on the time of year and crowd size. Should you see a wait time too long for your preference you can use your Universal Express Pass to jump ahead of the line.
• For your best shot at being an audience participant guests will want to get a seat close to the stage. Be sure to shout and holler when asked to volunteer!
