MGM- Car stunt show

[Okiemom]

Can anyone tell me if this is very good or not? Have not really seen many people talk about it on the board. Or can it be missed?

 

[PixieDust32]

Well, we really liked it!

It depends on your preferences. I'd never tell someone NOT to experience an attraction, at least once, but personally I've seen L!M!A! once and that was enough. It's slow moving, cheesy (the whole "we're pretending to make a movie" thing gets old quick - it's 2005, we know better, LOL) and really only one or two stunts of note. It's also very loud.

That said, many, many people enjoy it. I would try to fit it in - but on the other hand, I wouldn't think you'd be crushed if you can't. The best part of the attraction for me was the view from the top - you can see many WDW landmarks (GMR, Swan/Dolphin, SSE) from up there.

N.E.D.

We saw the show & ITA with NewEnglandDisney. It is cheesy.

It is loud. & it is very slow moving.

Make sure you get a fast pass for it.

 

[PixieDust32]

Yeap is slow and take to long to start but we liked it.

I guess you have to do it to see at least once!

 

[RyMickey]

You should see it once...And we've seen it once and it will be our only time for a while. While the show was okay, I don't think there's any repeat value of it, much like Indiana Jones which has gotten very tired after so many years. I pretty much agree with NewEnglandDisney.

However, if you have young kids, I could see you skipping it this time and perhaps catching it on your next trip.

See this thread for pics from the show My whole family really enjoyed it.

it was ok but i agree you must see it once

I enjoyed the paris version of this, but have not seen the MGM version ... yet.

I'm basically agreeing with most everyone in that as a new attraction you should see it at least once, but we found it quite boring - spinning tires for 30 minutes does that to you. However, my DS (4) loves it. Disney wasted a lot of money and a lot of space for this attraction...

My 9 year old son loved it. I don't need to see it again.

I also thought it was boring. I don't know what I expected, but is sure was not that. On : the other hand DH said it was alright and he would go back and see it again. There just seemed to be alot of the same thing over, and over again. Alot of riding around the buidlings.

We loved it in Paris (and I got selected to be "in the show") and can't wait to see it in two weeks at MGM. In fact, it is the only reason we are doing MGM this trip.

It's loud and exciting.

 

[Okiemom]

Well, it sounds like knowing my kiddos, they would probably prefer riding the rides. We will just see how much time we have extra.

 

[Mom2Ashli]

We liked it enough to see it two times now. And my DD6 loved all the action that was going on.

 

[ascardino]

Thanks for the info. We missed this when we went earlier this year. And even though I agree with "seeing it once" as a rule, I won't mind if I miss it this trip around.

We saw it once on our recent trip and really enjoyed the show. We will return - in fact my two DD's really wanted to see it again right away. The only down side was the heat - you had to walk a long way to the stadium seating and it was not well cooled.

I saw it a couple of weeks ago. We went on a not-so-crowded day, and we entered right when it was about to start. We even moved to a bit of a jog to enter because one of the CM's said that you can't enter when the show begins. It was a hot day, and they have fans on the bleachers, but it was hot. I used my mini fan (admittingly it could have also been hotter because I ran to get in!) and it was okay.
The show wasn't slow for me. I really enjoyed the stunts! It could have been longer!
The downside is how many people can be seated in there. It takes quite awhile to exit. I'd aim for seats near the door next time.
I always enjoy the live shows at the parks. I usually plan the day to accomodate the show schedules!
Enjoy!

We weren't impressed. The theater takes FOREVER to seat on a busy day. The stunts were good, although repetitive, but there is a lot of set up time between them and the storyline that they have is pretty lame. It also took awhile to get out. Glad I saw it once, will probably see it one more time (to make sure my opinions still stand) but not go out of my way for it again.
