Another fantastic show we caught at Disney Studios. Here is the background on the show (cause I am lazy and don't want to write all the details). I missed the entire first segment (on video) because I was in awe of the cars and the skill of these drivers. Awesome and the kids loooved it!
Experience the excitement as cars accelerate towards each other and swerve away at the last second, motorcycles smash through windows, Jet Skis leap out of the water, a stunt person falls off a 5-story building and massive fireballs explode in the air. See all of these Hollywood-style stunts performed live, right before your disbelieving eyes!
Plus, beginning in June 2011, Lightning McQueen joins the fun with a very special cameo appearance.
The Show: During this high-octane 33-minute stunt show, you'll learn how Hollywood stuntmen choreograph and film complex vehicle stunts with amazing split-second precision. The stunts are filmed and played back on a massive video screen, so you can see how they all come together to create action-packed chase scenes.
But there aren't any fancy high-tech special effects here, just old-fashioned revving engines, squealing tires, pyrotechnics and unbelievable driving skills.
The Cars: The featured vehicles are highly-modified Opel brand cars. Though they appear to be stock, they have some secret movie magic under the hood. Propelled by 1,300 cc, 150-horsepower motorcycle engines, the cars have a unique gear system with 4 forward gears and 4 reverse gears. In addition, they weigh less than half as much as a standard production car and are reinforced with rally-car roll cages for safety.
Origins: Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show is inspired by the smash-hit Moteurs… Action! Stunt Show Spectacular from Walt Disney Studios Park at Disneyland Paris.
