Anybody know what they're filming at USF today?

There seem to be a bunch of different film crews wandering the park filming people cavorting and doing acrobatics and such. I heard a crew member tell someone they were filming "American [Something]" on NBC. We might be in the background of a scene with a crazy-dressed green-haired guy playing with a donut in front of Lard Lad!

I saw on Twitter their filming for American Ninja Warrior.. I think that's the name.

We were there too. They had a couple guys with various characters filming together, then Doctor Doom grabbed the two guys and drug them into his ride. BTW they came right back out, the two guys had no interest in getting on the ride. They diverted us into the arcade because they were blocking the street.

As said above they are filming American Ninja Warrior at the parks tonight and tomorrow night. It is in the overnight hours. I wouldn't be surprised if the set were setup overnight and it is on New York Street today.

Set is indeed up. They are having people just walk on the sidewalk instead of the street. Security is making sure. Not a big deal for guests.

From our trip last week:

First night of the filming is done and tonight is the finals. It was a late night for me. I walked out of the park at 2:30 and they were going until dawn from what one of them told me. It was neat seeing it in person. The warped wall is more intimidating than it looks on TV, then again some of those athletes make it look easy. They also said that it will take a week to tear down and be out of the park.

Thanks everyone! After I posted we did see a sign for American Ninja Warrior, and we saw the obstacle course later in the day. We had never heard of that show but we'll have to check it out now.
