I highly doubt 13-30 year old girls, and even males, will be making additional trips to the "Loud Cars" Another example of good money chasing after bad. What is so complicated with designing the next Indy? Universal did it. This stunt show is going to cost them money to keep operating and then sooner rather then later, they are going to have this huge empty arena in the upper-middle of the park. Maybe they'll be able to bring back Chicken Little 4-5 years from now and can stage a musical.
Originally Posted By TDLFAN >>I'm sure there will be other cars with more color<< Actually no. In Paris, only one car is painted red, and the rest of them are black. There is a cameo by Herbie the Love Bug, which may or may not be in the MGM show, but with that new movie with L. Logan that is almost a given.

Originally Posted By TDLFAN Maybe 10 hrs later, but frankly...Indy Stunt Show is so past it's prime, I much rather see it go into history, but since they are not willing to spend to put something unique (or even DL's Indy-like) in it's place, then keep it running as long as it may... As for the Motors show...I wonder if the show will be presented as originally intended to in Paris (before the Fire Marshalls went in and told Disney off) or if the deleted water jet skis sequence will be a part of this presentation.

Originally Posted By CTXRover ^^When it was first announced in October 2003, the press release then stated there would be jet skis: QUOTE:"Inspired by the popular Stunt Show Spectacular at Disneyland Paris, the high-octane, stunt show features specially designed cars, motorcycles and jet skis, plus special effects -- with audience members pulled into the fun." Other press releases about LMA! since then have also mentioned jet-skis from time to time, so I imagine the sequence will in fact be part of the Florida show.
Originally Posted By CTXRover Just as additional more recent confirmation of jet skis being in the Florida show adapatation, the newly updated official Disney World website has a section on the upcoming attractions to WDW as part of the Happiest Celebration on Earth. In the LMA page, it again mentions jet skis being present: QUOTE from disneyworld.com: "Get ready for extreme thrills as this full-throttle, high-octane live stunt spectacular comes roaring in from Walt Disney Studios Paris as part of the Happiest Celebration On Earth. Engines rev, tires screech and adrenaline kicks into overdrive as a series of highly orchestrated stunts, specially designed cars, motorcycles and jet skis and amazing pyrotechnics give you a behind-the-scenes look at how action stunts are created for the movies."

Originally Posted By TDLFAN Well that's nice. This show is really going to change the dynamics at MGM. The New York Street area will be quite noisy from time to time while all of those stunts and reving engines kick in. Not a good thing in my book.
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo Well, the jet skis are in the film footage.

The jet skis were taken out when the car missed and crashed into the water area. They then installed a safety bridge and it became impossible to use the jet skis. They may have redesigned this for WDW. Folks, - to me this show is one of the most awesome things Disney has ever created. My wife (who is not really into cars) also loves it. Wait and see. BTW - the black vs red cars work with the Show's sets and story.
Originally Posted By TDLFAN >>Folks, - to me this show is one of the most awesome things Disney has ever created<< True. The show is quite good and impressive as done in WDSP. It always bothers me there seems to be an element of danger as it is extreme in nature. I just hope they never ever do have a nasty accident especially during a live perfomance with an audience. Which makes me ask... are they bringing drivers from the Paris crew to train here? How were the drivers for MGM's version hired, or what requirement did Disney ask for in the concideration of their hiring?? I feel the way I drive down I-4 should make me more than qualified to do this show myself.
