Nice work, guys.
- [Narrator] The fast paced live action extravaganza
that thrills audiences today,
began with a construction of a Caribbean island.
A 750,000 gallon lagoon,
but the emphasis of this $5 million attraction is
on action and a high tech world of special effects.

- Bang! Bang!
- [Narrator] It takes weeks of practice
before actors perform these dangerous feats in the show.
- Good. That's good.
- [Narrator] Stunt coordinator, Alex Plasschert
instructs the actors on mastering the many stunts.
- Wider. So when you're coming down,
you're reaching down for it
rather than it maybe being quite so fast.
- [Narrator] Each stunt must be performed again and again
with precision and safety.
- They have to make sure that nobody gets hurt
as we are doing the film.
So, this has to be repeated eight times, 10 times a day.
- [Narrator] Putting the elements together
requires attention to detail.
Phil Hettema is show producer.
- It's really like a big jigsaw puzzle.
There are hundreds and hundreds of elements,
all of which have to be designed and produced
in many different shops.
And they're all brought together at the last minute
and assembled to put together the show
that people are gonna see.

- All our guns are equipped with a radio transmitter inside
and we press a button on the guns and it goes up
to our technical director up in the booth.
He fires the pyro and the sound effects
and it makes it look as though we caused the explosion.
(explosion booming)
- [Narrator] Over 50 stunts have performed
at breakneck speed in 15 minutes.
- If you're not quick, you can miss something.
And in fact, we've designed the show.
So if you're seated in different places
you get a different perspective.
You almost see a totally different show.
So every time the audience comes back to see us again
they'll get a whole new entertainment experience.
