The Bourne Stuntacular is an action show located at Universal Studios Orlando. It is one of 2 sit down shows they have and probably my favorite show at the park. This show brings you into the Bourne movies with taking you right into the action as if you were walking around with Jason Bourne. There are showing throughout the day, but make sure to note the times, it will close earlier than the rest of the park. I think this is because of the stunt actors, they are doing all the shows throughout the day. If this is on your list to see, make sure to check out the times and fit in your day. I really think you will enjoy it.
The show will fill up at times. We notice in the summer it is very full every show since it is so hot outside and so cool inside. We particularly make sure to see this once maybe even twice in the summer. The theatre holds a lot of people so your chances of getting in are really good. You don't really need to get there super far in advance.
After the que line, you will head into a holding room where they play a video. The video will show you what you are witnessing and who Jason Bourne is. If you never saw the movies, you will still enjoy the show, since this video gives you a brief background as well as the que line having lots of photos from the movies. After that video you will then head to the main viewing room. This is the main theatre part where the show will take place. You can choose your own row, the back section is usually reserved for wheelchairs and last minute people. You can pick where you want but they will ask you to move all the way down. We prefer to take our time going into the theatre so we can be more in the middle. On certain days, when they expect lots of crowds, the team members will really make you move all the way down. If you stop, they almost start yelling at you to get up and continue moving down. You truly can see anywhere, however, the middle is better in my opinion. We have also sat far back, in the middle, towards the front and even in the front row. I would recommend sitting about 3-4 rows back in order to see all the stunts. The stage is raised so when we sat in the front row, there was a lot of things that we could not see.
The show itself is is a mixture of stunts, moving objects and screens. The main screen is so large, and then when you combine with the moving objects on stage, you truly feel as though you are there with Jason Bourne, going through the different scenes, fighting next to him. It truly is unlike anything I have see at a theme park. I absolutely love this show.
Overall I would definitely say check this out. Its a great show, it brings you into the movies, which Universal does well but has been getting away from a bit. If you get motion sickness, there are one of two scenes that might make you a little queasy, but just close your eyes. It is a great show, I would say check it, add it to your list. ACES! read more
