Is the Car Stunt Show a MUST SEE?

[sara969]

Is the car stunt show a ''MUST SEE''
Im guessing my husband will definately like it
Just wondering if my daughter will get bored, she is almost 3yrs old.
She is quite good in the cinema and can probably hold her attention for about an hour and a half.

Not sure whether i should take my daughter around the park while this is on and let huby watch it, or watch it all together?

For my son Enrico it is a MUST see more than once if possible
I like it but wont be crying if i cant watch it.
Brian nearly fell asleep watching it lol
It is VERY noisy and you have fire quite close to you, so it's up to you if your daughter can like it or not

i was wondering this too!

hi, we watched this with ds (7) and dd (3) this year. It was a good show, and my son and husband enjoyed it,but does go on for a while and does include a lot of loud noise which upset my little girl. Also gets VERY cold depending on when you are going as you are sitting still outside for so long and if i remember rightly, on metal seats!!
I don't think we would be taking her again to it when we go in january!

As you're gonna be there for 5 days, perhaps try and fit it in to your day somewhere? It's not a 'must see' (to me) but I'm glad I've seen it, if you get what I mean. We saw it on our 1st trip, so we didn't bother going again on our 2nd trip. DD was 4 when she saw it and she seemed to enjoy most of it. Well, put it this way, where else can/could she have seen all these 'stunts' in real life? lol. We sat more or less right at the top (loooong way down lol), so when DD got a bit bored towards the end, she was just running along the back aisle and didn't annoy anyone.

We are going next week, so im guessing it will be freezing cold, especially if we are sat on metal seats for a while

Can anyone tell me:

1) Roughly how long the show lasts?
2) Could we leave if my daughter was getting restless?
(will they let us out early?)

I love watching this, I have never taken a youngster though so it depends on their attention span & what they are interested in.

I'm certain the seats are plastic, it lasts approx 30 minutes & yes you can leave early, just make sure you sit at the end of the row to make it easier to leave.

Having not done it before because of the long queues and wait times, DH & I did this in October when we were on our own. We had been expecting it to be perfect for DS(6), and the actual stunts were, but the amount of talking in both languages was SO boring in between. They could cut it down to 20 minutes easily just showing you the excellent stunts with a quick explanation. We won't be taking the children there, they'd be bored very quickly, especially DD (3).

It lasts 30 mins roughly, and you could easily take your daughter out early if she gets restless (I saw a few other people doing this with small children). There is a lot of talking in between the stunts which I found dull if I'm honest, but the stunts themselves were great!

I wouldnt say its must do - but it is good fun, but now I have seen it once I don't fancy it again until they update it.

I didn't see this last time and I don't intend to see it in January either. I'm not that keen on stunts and I don't think my children would sit in the freezing cold watching it. I'll go to the nice, warm, indoor shows!

 

[britchic4]

I think it lasts a bit longer than 30 mins, plus there is the queue to get in, and if you want to be able to choose a seat close to exits you need to get there early otherwise you'll be sitting right up at the back.

 

[sara969]

Thanks for all your replies... think i will give it a go, perhaps at the end of the week when ive done most things around the parks.

If it lasts roughly 30 mins, that isnt too bad.
And its good that we can leave at anytime if we find that the show is a waste of time.

Shame about all the talking during the show, i hate that... im sooo NOT patient and like them to just Get on with it Hubbys is the same!

it is a loooong time by the time you queue,then wait and then the actual stunts etc

BUT it was fab ( we went in aug so no worries about being cold!) our sons 12 and 6 loved it

i think a young child may get bored / restless

 

[jillrobinson]

and you get to see Herbie !

i'm a girl and i was little when i first saw it and i like it.

We saw the show last week with a 5 year old and a 3 year old, and have to say we all loved it! They do explain things in between stunts but that gave us a chance to explain to our kids what was going on and they liked that.

It lasts about 45 minutes but it does seem to be geared to all ages so nobody got bored. We have some great photos. It was almost full (Halloween week) but I guess if you sit on the side then if you don't like it you can duck out early. I would recommend wrapping up warm as it can be cold.
