Watch WaterWorld's first 2017 post-refurbishment public rehearsal at Universal Studios Hollywood! Do note that the show was still undergoing technical rehearsals, so not all the special effects are currently working.
At 9:40 on the central tower Helen and the stunt man couldn't release the cable cart to travel to the scaffolding near the audience (where chase-fist fight-fall stunts are supposed to be done.) 20 seconds later (at 10:00) Helen ran backstage while Mariner and a Smoker are fighting on the ground by the water. She reappeared at 10:30 from the side of audience and continued the fight sequence after Mariner's seamlessly. So well executed I did not notice it when I watched the first time.
Wow, didn't notice that till you pointed it out :) I love when actors improvise seamlessly when things go wrong like that. Visited the Singapore theme park recently and during this show, the boat's engine malfunctioned at the final "escape the atoll" section. Helen and the Mariner improvised a bit of dialogue like "something's wrong with the engine, we gotta run!" and they jumped over the barrier and bolted off backstage.
Thanks for sharing. Myabe improvised, and maybe the backup plan in case the engine files. Here's a great interview and "Helen" describes just that. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bRu941lU_l0.html
Whats going on at 6:24 where one of them is throwing pads over the wall by the sea plane entrance? Is this always going on or did they forget to remove those from when they return the seaplane after the show maybe?
Most theme parks don't even have shows like this anymore. Six flags across the country have cut many good shows and even leveled the venues. I think it's wssis last stunt show in the US.
they stopped using blank ammunition in their .38 smith wesson revolvers. now they just add a sound effect. they still use blank shotgun shells but they also add a sound effect. no sound effects needed just the sound of those shotguns is enough.
Hmm, interesting set differences between here and US Singapore-- overall color is different, and Mariner's entry point is on the extreme right almost under the watchtower.
They have to conceal some ramps and doors better, the minigun(s) need another try to look more like metal, and MAYBE the woman shouldn't wear neon-green nikes. Also, for a minigun, they need way more sparks to get to the gun's RPM
Some might disagree with my statement but this needs an additional show called One Piece Premier Show like the one in Universal Studios Japan, because there are several of Americans who love anime and I am a huge fan of One Piece. And Universal Jump Summer should also be on Hollywood and Orlando like in Japan during the summer!
