I saw a discussion online about the main arena shows over the years at Movie World. Some differing opinions were shared, but a moderator shut down the conversation because they didn't like what was being said. 

I am keen to get an enthusiast's viewpoint on the MW Arena shows, namely:

Police Academy Stunt Show

Hollywood Stunt Driver (Mitsubishi Evo Edition)

Hollywood Stunt Driver 2 (Showtime Ute Edition)

 

I'm not a big fan of polls, but in this case i've made an exception. Share your thoughts below too?

I personally have never seen Police Academy but from what I have heard its the best one so thats why I have cast my vote to it. 

 
My personal favourite I saw was Stunt Driver 1. I dont know if they had modfications for that one but it was the one where the car broke in half and at the end they would drive through the bulding and then the flames would burst up. 

The current show is abysmal and I see better drifts in the coles carpak then I see there.

In the Orignal Hollywood Stunt Driver at the very end where that car would drive into the buliding with the flame effect does anyone know if it was the real car or a anamontric sort of thing at the end from #12.21 start time in the video is when it happens. I hope I dont sound stupd asking this lol. 

go

It’s a shell on a moving arm 

Which show had the cop car and a random car got cut in half?

The first HSD

Ok. That was my favourite then

Lol.

Which one of you are brave enough to admit being so, so wrong?

There's a large track doing an arc on the back side of the buildings, with an arm that reaches over holding a version of the car. It required the same inspections as the parks coasters each morning.

Thankyou for posting this its actully so cool seing it being built.

I mean the answer is pretty obvious, how many kids (or teenagers for that matter) that you know are named Rodney? If the number is zero then the Police Academy Stunt Show was successful in eliminating that wretched name from the gene pool. #justsayin

Counter point, it could have also been Rodney Rude, who operated in the same time period, causing a decline in the popularity of the Rodney name.

Stunt Driver 2 is so bland and boring. It is such a waste of space and I really think personally Stunt Driver in general has had its day, time for a new stunt show. 

A thread about arena shows at movieworld and not a single mention of the western action show? Old man Johnson will be turning in his grave!

The thread was specifically started based off of the "main arena" (that being the one at the end of main street, which the context of the online discussion had clearly outlined, which is why the options were limited to only the occupants of that arena), but by all means, feel free to create your own thread on the Show stage and it's former incarnations (i'd be voting for Maverick, but thats just me)
