Any good? Were you allowed to take an pictures and if so you going to show us?
Sounds good and I think it will be a good addition to MGM and revive that end of the park.
Brizzle.
Freinds and family have seen the show in Paris and rate it as one of the best things in the studios park there. Watching the rehersals it looks promising.

If it is good as the Disneyland Paris show then everybody will enjoy it. It does not stop from the moment it starts to the end. There was even some audience participation too.
Here's a few photos from last week

There're running 3 shows a day at the moment and using mostly imported Opel Corsa's. Albeit this may change for the grand opening. I think they are testing out mustang's. The corsa's are heavily modified and have a motorcycle engine mounted in the rear of the car.
We saw this last week and it was brill.

We done it twice in Paris and really enjoyed it. One of our group got picked out and starred in it as an extra.
Gives you a good insight into how they do stunts with cars.
ditto the family saw it in paris last november - thought it was great. poor me had to go to new york with the lads , run 26 miles and drink 26 pints[msnwink] still i will see it in june!
Can't wait will be definatly going to this. Roll on August [clap]

We saw it in April on a preview too!! I thought it was really good! They obviously expect it to be popular the stadium was massive! Think it will be a winner[msnwink]

We went to Disneyland Paris in the middle of winter and it was almost freezing but the place was full to capacity. would expect the stadium will take 1500-2000 per show.

We got back on Monday, having just spent two weeks out there. We actually saw the show on the opening day, it was fantastic. We videoed the whole thing. I'll check with Pete to see if he took any stills. It's certainly the best show on the park.

How packed was it Anna? It wasn't quite full when we saw it as it was a special preview, but I thought it would be bursting at the seams when it did open:) Even though the stadium is massive!

Do they ask for volunteers or do they pick people from the audience - any recommendations of where to sit to get onto the stage[msnwink]

It was pretty full. We happened to take our disabled F.I.L. in a wheelchair so had access to the disability area which was great. Out in front close to the water so when the ski jets went by we nearly got wet and the heat from the flames was quite strong too.
I think the 'volunteers' picked tend to be children only as it's a fun thing really.

We saw it in Paris last year and my husband and son can't wait to see it again.

There are things I have forgotten already[msneek]Volunteers? Skis? Oh Well!! Looks like I will have to go again in October to refresh my memory[msnwink]

We saw the show on Saturday - it was packed and very good. They were using the imported Opel Corsa's which are totally modified inside, including a big motorbike engine and only enough gas for about 15 minutes at a time.
We loved it - there was very much a strong French flavour to the show included an extended intro to the show by the producer in French.
We also did the show recently and would echo the above comments atht it is a great show. It also has some surprises in. A definite must-see!
You can fastpass this an it is a good idea. The non fast passers arnt allowed in until the fastpassers are seated and stand to miss the first few minutes if there is a long queue. When we were there, one of the cars broke down, another hit a piece of scenery as it went round a corner and had to be taken off on a forklift truck and one of the motor bikes broke down. Im sure it is a brill show, but that did take the edge off slightly.

Ohhh that's a shame Julie.
We saw it about two weeks back, and can definitely give it two thumbs up !
Excellent stunt work, noisey, and very exciting !
what times are the shows?
We watched this show in August. Big Thumbs up. I would Fast Pass then you generally should get a central seat in the stadium. Very popular show.
It's on our list to do in August, thanks for the tip on the fastpass[msnsmile2]
