[Stunt show is world class now!]

I went to mw today and saw the stunt shoe for the first time in a few months and there have been soooo many changes and improvements!! First up at the start they now have a guy called Dave who is the producer pick three people to shoot a few shots and they then work the shots into the final video which is hilarious! Dave does a really great job of being funny and getting everyone excited. Then the drivers come out do their thing and they r getting much better now having much closer near misses!!! The big finale is improved too. The old plastic doors flopping in the breeze are replaced by real doors that swing open. The bricks fly everywhere and the whole show was more polished. The crowd was loving it much more than other times I've seen it. Overall the show has improved now to the point where I think it's better than police academy was and I challenge anyone who disagrees to go see the improved stunt driver first before they pass judgement. Only bad thing about my visit today was scooby doo there was no smoke and few lasers going. Was worth the trip for stunt driver tho what a nice surprise!!

I have to agree with you rival81. I too went and saw HSD show for the first time in a few months and it's good to see there's finally someone on here who can pull their head out of their ar$e and actually enjoy the damn thing for what it is, 'A VERY ENTERTAINING SHOW'!. And yes I agree that the show’s writers are not going to win the Nobel Prize in Literature. But Jesus Christ on roller skates it's just a little theme park in South East Queensland. I must say when I sat in the crowd with my Kids and my brothers kids, Everyone around us were going absolutely crazy to the point that my children were so caught up in the excitement that they cheered and screamed more than I had seen them do in any other Park we have taken them to back in the States or even Europe. My wife was contracted to work out at Movie World from time to time and we came up from Melbourne with her whenever they needed her to do something and I honestly think the stunt driving show gets better every time I see it. When I spoke to some of the camera guys after the show they told me that the show has at least 13 of the old PASS performers in it. So there is a still bit of the 'old crew' there for the die-hards to enjoy which maybe makes it a good show. Sorry, but it appears to me that some of the guys on this site are taking it all just a little bit too seriously and maybe need to find another hobby. Something they can actually enjoy, instead of whining and whining and whining about EVEEEERRRYTHING that IS in fact not that bad, at least for all of your average holidaying families. I know, Maybe try becoming ambulance chasers or visit the cancer ward in the local hospital, Anything that might give you some perspective.

Yeah, I don’t know. Those Opel Corsa's we've all seen over there were built from the ground up and (I know I’m not telling you anything new) have Suzuki Hayabusa engines in them (also known as the GSX1300R) As does the Hero car that was loosely modeled on the Opel version of the Astra coupe. So they have absolutely no weight and go like stink. All this plus the fact that their set is slippery as your local fish mongers rubber glove! So I'm sure their operators (Lights Camera etc...) weren't really worried about the continuity of their cars matching a certain country, maybe they were just focusing on their vehicles suitability to what was required to perform their style of show. God knows I'm just guessing here! Maybe, and I’m going out on a limb here. But Maybe MW are going for full scale cars such as the rally proven WRX or Lancer EVO simply because they are pretty much bullet proof when it comes to throwing them around in harsh conditions. Plus the fact that the cars over here don’t look and sound like little miniature RC cars. Why else would you have an all wheel drive car in a live show if you weren’t going to punish the crapper out of it. Either that or they were going cheaper by the dozen. I just couldn’t imagine a poor old Peugeot, Citroen or Alpha copping a hiding from these gun drivers they have hired for their new show, they just wouldn’t stand up to it. Which, by the way my missus was positive she saw Warren Luff ???? at the staff canteen last week among the new driving team. However, as big of a V8 supercars fan as she is, I do think she's probably dreamin!!!!!!! If anyone can confirm this please let me know as I’m a big fan of the DJR team and I’m sure Warren and Steve (Owen) will do well at Bathurst next weekend. Anyway I'm kind of glad they might be going with a manufacturer it should give the show some realism.

i think its great that we will see the hot rod again, its a very beutiful piece of pass history, what are rice burners? what colours were the two hot rod you saw Parknut1?

Hey Doc The ones I saw were the old yellow 1928 t-Buckets (replicas) with the red flames up the sides. And yes believe it or not they still had all the rust and faded crappy paint jobs that they had during the final days of the last show. Personally, I do hope that they go with the 'rice burners' as they are just slightly more modern than the old 1984 Chevy impalas that Rollie Lay imported for the show for its final years. Which, as I'm sure you would already know (as most of you seem to be well connected within all these parks) are so rusted and bent out of shape after hitting the walls so many times it's a wonder they don’t just break in half in the slightest breeze (That info from one of the ex mechanics). No, no, no, they need strong, powerful, contemporary, fast , maneuverable cars that might just drag that poor old tired park up into the 21st century!!! Cars that suit that small area, not old dying dogs that should have been put down ten years ago!!!! C'mon Movie World, give us something new and exciting!!! Tip out those old aircraft carriers (Chevy Impalas) and show us that you can deliver a kick ass show like no other, at least in Oxenford!!! Maybe Queensland!! Oh ok, maybe even Australia!! When next dropping the missus out there I will take note as to whether or not they are using the Hot rods still (please god, let them die a honorable death!! go to the light old rusty hot rods go to the light!!!)

[Stunt show indoors ?]

YOU GUYS ARE AMAZING! Wow, what a great idea. Of course they will put a roof on the new venue as they wouldn’t want those nasty big old concrete walls to fall over and squish somebody now would they? Hang on, they’ve been up for almost two weeks now and they haven’t placed the roof on top What’s stopping the walls from falling down NOW???! oooh BUGGER! Wouldn’t that be funny if they fell over tonight while no one was paying attention. HEADS WILL ROLL!!!! Maybe some good person should ring em and let know!! Personally I believe the yellow picture does look like a roof. I guess we'll know soon enough.

[Police Academy stunt show Hot Rod]

Great Idea, what you could also do is re-create that photo of the red ROD with the old TY-250 parked next to the porta potty. YAY, It could be like a nativity scene!

This is just my thought but i don't think the hot rod from PASS will return as the show i going for more modern cars like as seen in both the training area for the show and driving behind the scenes of the park. From what iv heard and seen and I'm shore many other MW employees would have seen the Mitsubishi evo's and there is also a Holden commodore. They have been both seen driving in and out of the park to the training area and they have been seen practising in the training area.

I was out at MW today and definately saw 2 of the old PASS Hot Rods go out and into the training area. So they must be re-using the old heaps of junk again, What a shame (out with the old and in with the new 'n' all) never mind. There was also a few EVO's going out and a beautiful old VN commodore. I also saw a shiny red Honda go out as well so there must be some bikes in it too.
