Inspired by the popular "Stunt Show Spectacular" at Disneyland Paris, "Lights, Motors, Action! Stunt Show" made it's debut on May 4, 2005.

Disney officials say; "the high-octane stunt show features specially designed cars, motorcycles and jet skis, plus special effects -- with audience members pulled into the fun. Insiders will reveal show secrets, detailing how stunts are created, designed and filmed for the movies. Filmed images are display for the audience of 5,000 on an oversized screen, illustrating how the use of different camera angles can add drama to filmed scenes."

Keep your eyes peeled for a special appearance by everyone's favorite "car", Lightning McQueen!

Did You Know?

The cars featured in "Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show" are custom-built in Europe.

The cars are equipped with a 1,300 cc, 150-horsepower motor built inside a custom racing chassis.

Show cars weigh just 600 kilograms (approximately 1,322 pounds) and consume one liter (approximately one quart) of fuel per show.

The cars weigh less than half what a standard production car does. (An average mid-size car weighs approximately 3,500 pounds.)

In addition to four forward speeds, the cars are equipped with a custom-designed transmission gearbox that also allows four reverse speeds. This enables the cars to go as fast in reverse gears as they do in forward gears.

Design components in the cars include the latest in safety and technology. Among the features: a NASCAR-style fire-suppression system, speed sensors and an on-board computer that assists drivers with maintaining proper speeds for precision stunt jumps.

On-stage pyrotechnics during the show include fireballs that billow 40 feet in diameter.

Drivers wear the same driving suits as professional racecar drivers.

Guests aboard the Disney's Hollywood Studios Backlot Tour can sometimes get a glimpse of the excitement going on as part of "Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show." The recently redesigned backlot tram tour route passes right by the stunt show arena.
