Waterworld: A Live Sea War Spectacular is an attraction found at Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Studios Japan, based on the 1995 film Waterworld. It opened at the same time as the film, and even though the film was considered by many to be a flop, the show is very highly praised. The seating is in three sections with arena seating that goes up and back. The front seats are the wet zones. The show itself is a shorter retelling of the story featuring lots of special effects, including the landing of the sea plane. As of 2006, the actors in the show introduce themselves at the end and give some background on what they've done in the past. In September 2007, the show became the first attraction to be operated using the virtual sound system software SoundMan-Server from Richmond Sound Design.
