UPDATE**
Universal to Close Wild West
ORLANDO
(Orlando Sentinel) - Universal Studios is packing up
its six-shooters and closing its Wild Wild West Stunt
Show after 12 years and 17,000 performances. A replacement
for the live attraction, which featured a cast of rough-and-tumble
characters in a 19th century setting, has not been decided.
"We have a couple of terrific ideas," but
a final decision has not been made, Universal spokesman
Jim Canfield said. The show's 10 contract performers
and six staff members will be given the opportunity
to audition and apply for other jobs at the parks. Universal
also plans to close the Eighth Voyage of Sinbad at Islands
of Adventure during the month of October to make way
for Halloween Horror Nights, Canfield said. The Sinbad
show will return in November.
Thrill Rating: 0
This
is a stunt show similar to the Indidan Jones Stunt Spectacular
at MGM Studios. The theme here is , you guessed
it, the Wild West.
The
show is full of explosions, gun fights, falls and horse
tricks. Enjoyable, and well performed. This
is also an amphitheatre, so it makes a nice respit after
a long day of walking.
