Have experience with High Falls, Low Falls, Foot Falls and Burns

It will be interesting to see what they will do as I'm sure they won't be changing much or maybe nothing of the show set.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Well it won't be nothing - if they're doing high falls, there isn't much to fall from except the main facade - and you need a landing zone... maybe a dumpster in front of one of the buildings filled with foam the way PASS did it?

Sounds like MW are really upping their game for this one. They will draw in big crowds, lets see how DW will compete with it.

If they reuse the same HWSD set then they might put in a dumpster, for small falls, maybe the lead up to the jump at the end, or a balcony.

[Reanimated35]

Is that not what Alex mentioned......in the post that you quoted?

[Slick]

Heard through the grapevine that all of the italian rally posters have been taken down. How very interesting...

[Reanimated35]

I'm thinking the fall will be from the start of the car jump back to the ground. I just hope they don't change the cars and instead bring back the reversed chassis.

[themagician]

I know this doesn't relate to this show, but I didn't see any point in starting a new forum for this. Movie World is now playing 'Journey 2 the Mysterious Island in 4D"

I thought they already were?

[kujotess]

I thought they already were?

Nope, it went Shrek 4D - Journey 1 - Ice age Dawn of dinosaurs - Journey 2 (Mysterious Island)

Fmx overdrive will run to February 19th and the new Hollywood stunt driver 2 will open on February 20th

Some pictures I took on Tuesday of the Hollywood Stunt Driver arena.

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

Thanks for thephotos. I went in a little over a week ago to get photos but the showtimes weren't as per the iPhone app, so i missed them. I did hear a lot of trailbike revving so they were obviously rehearsing (or playing) furiously.

Can confirm that Feb 20th is indeed the start date.

messaged MW on Facebook and they gave me this date as the opening

Was there this morning. Whole arena is closed off. No shows at all on. Sounds like a fair bit of construction is going on along with a lot of rehearsals. From outside the cars sound great.

On holidays until 24th so here is hoping HWSD2 is open on the 20th.

Hope this diversion is ok but I'm wondering if anyone can settle an argument between my wife and I about the previous Stunt Show?

How did they do the jump at the end across the building?

My theory is it was a car shell on some sort of track system but wife thinks it is a model car operating via remote control.

Are either of us right?

[Reanimated35]

Car on a track.

[MaxxTheMonster]

I remember going on the Road Runner Rollercoaster to get a view of what they were doing. There is a track, can't remember the technical term, that runs behind the arch sort of like a coaster track. The shell of an evo is mounted visible to the audience so when the truck on the track behind the facade is moved across it looks like the car is jumping across the gap.

Lol reanimated found the image I couldn't.

Cool, thanks!

A ramp is being installed (Source: The theme park social network)

[DaptoFunlandGuy]

YUCK!

That has totally ruined the awesome facades they had in that arena. I'm hoping they're going to theme the ramps from the front so they look like something else.

These just look like the standard Showtime FMX ramps, without the vehicle trailers. I do hope they've got some storyline worked into this, and it isn't just an Ekka show with a camera crew.

[themagician]

I totally agree. I do hope they theme it so it doesn't stand out.

[bladex]

what in the bloody hell do they need such a huge ramp for. that looks fugly
