The ''Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show'' is a performance show at the Disney's Hollywood Studios theme park in Lake Buena Vista, Florida. It is based on the original show, ''Moteurs... Action! Stunt Show Spectacular'' at Walt Disney Studios Park in Disneyland Resort Paris, France, which premiered with the park's opening in March 2002. Revolving around a series of energetic stunts featuring automobiles, the show had its soft opening on March 14, 2005, and its grand opening on May 5, 2005, as part of the Happiest Celebration on Earth festival at the Walt Disney World Resort marking the fiftieth anniversary of Disneyland, the first Disney park. One aspect of the festival was each of the four Walt Disney World theme parks opening a new attraction previously running at another Disney resort. The show runs for just under 40 minutes of car-based action, and includes pyrotechnics, jet ski chases, and physical stuntwork. The cars are followed by cameras, and film, both shot during the show and pre-recorded, is shown to the audience on a billboard television screen; some shots are from the Disneyland Resort Paris version of the show. This is to make the show look like a real movie shoot. Herbie, the Volkswagen from ''The Love Bug'', previously made an appearance in an intermission in the middle of the show, but was later replaced by Lightning McQueen from Cars. The show arena has scenery inspired by Villefranche-sur-Mer; a Mediterranean village in the south of France. The arena's construction forced Studio Backlot Tour at the theme park to be almost halved in length, as the arena was built inside locations used by the backlot tour. It was previously sponsored by Koch Industries through its Brawny division from its opening until 2015. ==Vehicles== The show has more than 40 vehicles in the show and backstage in the maintenance garage. The primary car which the action revolves around, referred to as the "hero car," is a custom-built design for the show, while the pursuit cars are Opel Corsas. The 3 different hero cars are all painted red and the pursuit cars are black, to easily allow guests to tell the difference between them. The show also includes specially-designed cars that look identical to the others used in the show, two of which are red "hero" cars. One has the bodyshell oriented backwards to allow the driver to appear to be driving in reverse; the other has a seat and steering wheel bolted onto the side of the car away from the audience, so that the car can be driven showing that there is no driver in the driver's seat. One of the black "pursuit" cars is cut in half behind the front doors so that it can appear to explode during a scene in the show. The cars, while they appear simple and plain, are reinforced with rally car roll cages for driver safety and powered by 1400 cc motorcycle engines mounted directly behind the driver's seat. The cars have four forward and four reverse gears, allowing them to be driven backwards at high speed. The cars have a bump shift for easier gear shifting: the driver bumps the shifter forward to go up a gear, and back to go back a gear. In order to reverse, the driver twists the top of the shifter and bumps it forwards or backwards. The emergency brake automatically releases when the driver lets go. The show cars are lightweight, at . The cars are rear-wheel drive to suit the slips and slides of the show. The drivers wear heavy protective suits; to keep the drivers cool in the Florida heat, a cooling system in the rear of the car pumps water through the suits. The show also features jet skis on the small canal at the front of the theater, and motorcycles which maneuver around the cars. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lights, Motors, Action!
