Have you ever dreamed of being on a reality show?



Here is your chance! Universal Studios Tours now

has Fear Factor Live, which is a stunt show that

uses audience volunteers. With three to five shows

each day, the chances of getting on the show are

pretty good!

Are you ready to face your fears? There are some

important things to know about Fear Factor Live at

Universal Studios Tours before you sign up. First,

this is for real. This is not a cheesy attempt to

replicate Fear Factor and please a studio audience.

The stunts are very real, and they are performed by

audience members just like you. There is no

coddling here!

If you still want to participate, simply visit the casting

office, which is located near the Terminator ride in

the theme park. You must meet certain physical

requirements to ensure that you can handle what

is about to be asked of you. You must also

complete and sign a liability form, holding Universal

Studios and Fear Factor harmless of any injuries or

damages you may incur.

Before the show begins, some audience members

who were not selected to participate are called on

stage to face smaller challenges, such as eating

various bugs. The winner of the pre-show contest

wins great prizes, such as an annual pass to the

theme park. This is followed by an audience warm

up with the hosts of the show.

The show consists of six contestants that were

chosen from the casting office ? if your lucky, you

might be one of these! They are dressed just as the

contestants on the original Fear Factor dress ? in

tight uniforms. A series of challenges, much like the

challenges on Fear Factor are presented to the

contestants. Falls from high places, skill tests, and

of course, the famous gross-out challenge. During

the show, a random audience member is picked

for yet another challenge ? such as sticking their

head in a tank full of scorpions.

If you've ever watched Fear Factor, and told all of

your friends that you could handle everything that

was thrown at those contestants, be careful. Here is

your big chance to prove yourself ? or your friends'

chance to prove you wrong! Win or lose, Fear

Factor Live at Universal Studios Tours could be the

highlight of your visit! If you want to be on the show,

visit the casting office as soon as you get to the

park to make sure that you meet the physical

requirements ? and if you don't meet the

requirements, ask about being in the audience.

Universal Studios Tours ? Park Information

If you are planning a trip to Universal Studios Tours,

you need to know specific information about the park

before you arrive. If you have special needs, you may

need more information than usual, and you should

contact Guest Services and inform them of your

special needs prior to your arrival.

You may purchase tickets in advance either online,

or over the telephone. Tickets can also be purchased

at Ticket Master Outlets and through travel agents.

You may also purchase tickets at the gate. General

one day admission costs $55, and those under forty

eight inches tall are charged $45. Children under

three are admitted free of charge. VIP Studio

Passes are available on a limited basis, and are

not available for children under the age of five. The

cost for VIP Studio Passes is $149 per person.

Annual tickets are also available, at a discounted

rate.

Universal Studios Hollywood is located in Los

Angeles, California, at 100 Universal City Plaza. This

is easily found right off of Highway 101, which is often

called the Hollywood Freeway. The park is about

ten minutes from the Los Angeles downtown area.

Only paid parking is available. It costs $10 for cars

and $11 for recreational vehicles. You can also get

preferred parking, which is closer to the entrance

for $17. Free parking is not available on the Universal

Studio grounds.

Realistically, it takes a full day to see all of the

attractions in the park. However, if you don't have a

full day to spend at Universal Studios Tours, you

should purchase the VIP pass, which will allow you

to move to the front of the line for all rides and

attractions. This cuts down wait times in lines

significantly, and allows you to see all of the

attractions much faster.

Don't allow the rain to ruin your parade! The park

remains open even when it rains, but if severe

weather is an issue, many shows may be cancelled

or relocated. In the event that the park must close

due to whether, a rain check will be issued. A

Universal Studio rain check will be issued if over 1/8

of an inch of rain falls before 2pm, and it is good for

thirty days.

Again, if you have special needs that may need

special accommodations, please contact Guest

Services by telephone prior to your visit. Some

accommodations can take up to two weeks to

arrange, so the sooner you contact Universal

Studios Tours with your special needs request,

the better the staff will be able to serve you.
