Lights, Motors, Action Extreme Stunt Show to permanently close in April 2016

By WDWMAGIC Staff · Friday January 15, 2016 9:26am EST · "Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show"

Disney has today announced that Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show at Disney's Hollywood Studios will permanently close on April 2 2016.

The park is about to begin a major redevelopment, including the addition of Star Wars and Toy Story lands, and additional phases still to be announced.

From the Official Disney Parks Blog

"In order to bring our new lands to life, the first steps of the expansion will be happening soon. We wanted to let you know that Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show and nearby locations around Streets of America will be closing on April 2, 2016. The Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show attraction will continue its daily shows until the closing date."

The show opened in 2005 on the Streets of America, inspired by the popular Stunt Show Spectacular at Disneyland Paris. The high-octane stunt show features specially designed cars, motorcycles and jet skis, plus special effects.

Kind of sad. I mean, I knew it was coming, but it was a fun show and a good way to get off your feet for a little bit. I won't miss having to hunt my wife down after she goes in with the kids while I get some beers to bring in...

No surprise here, just wonder how quickly we see change /demo in this space. It was good once or twice...

Happy to see a comment there about the unannounced future phases to this project. The deniers claiming we will only see Star Wars and Toy Story grow tiring.

Happy to see work ramping up!

Good sign!

Yep, awesome show when it was new. It'll be a fond memory.

SOA, this, and Indy are pretty much the last things around regarding anything having to do with "studios." Yeah, saw this coming too. Look forward to the new lands so might as well rename the park soon.

It was a crowd eater when shows were running. Line's are going to be pretty awful in the rest of the park for a long time....unless people skip it completely.

Well, and the Star Tours exterior. But that'll get fixed.

Window dressing. The ride remains. I was referring to entire attractions/areas. I see your point, though.

OMG, I am heartbroken.

Just kidding.

I was under the impression that neither Star Wars Land or Toy Story Land would be in this area of the park... So, it raises a lot of questions... would this seem to indicate that plans have changed and now Toy Story Land and/or Star Wars land will occupy this area of the park? Or are they just clearing this area to be used as a staging area for both Star Wars Land and Toy Story Land and will eventually use this area for a Phase III expansion? All the previous rumors were that Indy would be going to make way for Star Wars and I'd be almost shocked to see them close both LMA and Indy before Toy Story Land opens, but I don't think they would delay Star Wars construction until Toy Story Land is finished... lots of questions...

Not sure how you would have that impression. Toy Story Land and SW Land having always been planned for the Southwest, South, and Southeast areas of HS respectively. There is no way LMA could remain in the middle of it all.

Golden Girls house > LMA

Yes but it was expected it might remain in the middle for another year or two, just to avoid closing something that can hold a big crowd.
