This ride is so cool, you are strapped in with these massive weird looking things by your ears, which turn out to be speakers, you are then rushed along round the corner where you stop and wait. All of a sudden this light comes on showing a countdown 3...2...1....Bam, you are riding from 0-100 in the space of three seconds while feeling the G Force. You spin round and round and upside down all the while you have Aerosmith songs blasting in your ear. It is really amazing. My favourite song while riding is Love in an Elevator, I love the part where it says "going doooowwwwn" and the car shoots downwards.</p><p>After we caught the Moteurs...Action! Stunt Show Spectacular. We never caught this show the first time around but I am sure glad we went to see it. You have all these fast little cars zooming around this stage surrounded by water and onset buildings. The theme of the show is that you are part of a live audience who are watching a film in the making, while all the while being told how some of these stunts are done. For instance there is a chase scene where the hero (in a red car) is being chased by these villans (in black cars) but he is actually driving backwards to get away from these guys. The way they did this was to rig a special car so instead of like a normal car you are facing the windshield to drive, it is actually the other way around and it gives the impression that you are driving backwards when you are really driving forwards. (Hope that all made sense) The bit I liked the most though was the chase scenes where the black cars were all in sync like it was some kind of dance using cars.</p><p>The other ride we went on, if it is a ride, was Armageddon, Special Effects. You get to see how the special effects for the movie were filmed and at the end go into this space station chamber and get caught up in a "real live meteor shower". Wasn't very impressed with that ride to be honest.</p><p>The last attraction we caught in the Studios was the Studio Tram Tour: Behind the Magic. You sit on a normal looking tram and visit sets from different movies. You get to see how the effects were made and see some real props and vehicles from movies. The best part of the ride was where the tram gets caught in the Waterworld set, you are sitting there looking around and all of a sudden tons of waters starts coming down the hillside towards you, but don't fear, it doesn't touch anyone inside the car, so you remain perfectly dry.</p> 2006-09-22T01:26:50-07:00 570426971 2005-10-09T17:00:00-07:00 0 -9223372036854775790 221713 2261738 359209 0 142783 0.038657610919122 2005-10-06T17:00:00-07:00 Published 30.0 2006-09-22T01:41:45-07:00 57054 0
