The show can't become stagnant -- hopefully due to the format it will lenditself to being updated fairly often.. that would be great ! I am also willing to keep an open mind because I am a car nut.....so I am more anxious to see it than most of the rest in my household....here's hoping for the best...who knows maybe it will just knock our socks off

It appears to be high energy and exciting with some obviously dangerous stunts, even though they are carefully choreographed. I'm curious to just how loud it will be outside the stadium. The back/metal facade of the set, which faces the rest of the park, may help to muffle the sound heard actually inside the theater. Anyone been there to hear it during rehearsals (assuming they're starting inside the set now)?

I think our first test showed somewhere in the 50 to 70 db range in the courtyard outside the front sign..and we are and will continue to reherse on stage and in the production lot..

I actually think HPB at DCA could use something like this, but give us something that realy makes uswant to go back to MGM. PLEASE!!!
Originally Posted By davewasbaloo I disagree with the idea there are too many shows at Disney MGM Studios. It's the quality that is at question - BatB is poor. Little Mermaid is ok, and Playhouse Disney only appeals if you are in the demo. Indy is OK, but the set up in between scenes is toooo long. Motors really raises the bar. This is an awesome show, and anyone that likes James Bond or Bruckheimer - the Rock, Con Air, Gone in 60 Seconds, Enemy of the State etc. will love it. The stunt choreographer is Remy Jullian who did all the bond films since Live and Let Die as well as the original Italian Job and many, many more.

Then there's the jet ski stunts, the Remote Control full size car, Herbie and a suprise ending that ends with a bang!!! And the show explains how these stunts are done, so it's educational too! Believe you me, as much as I love Soaring and the idea of EE, this would be the first of the new editions I'll hit, and for me, it will go into my top 10 if not top 3 things to do at WDW. I've seen the show about 12 times now and I'm still not bored. If anything, it gets better!

Originally Posted By evo3 wow Dave you know the show about as well as I do..We do have a few changes in our show. Remy did have a big part in the show but it was more Domonique and a guy by the Name of Rom "sunny" Vervin who's dad was the first on record to drive on 2 wheels.Then he taught Lucky Teeter who taught Joey Chitwood.Unfortunatley Luck teeter wasn't so lucky and died in a jump gone wrong.Joey Chitwood took over his show and that is how 2 wheeling started in the USA.. Rom is here in the states helping us with this show!!
