WaterWorld (2017 Refurbishment - First Technical Rehearsal) - Universal Studios Hollywood

[@davidpucio1647]

Nice to see it finally cleaned up and all the effects working

[@linpoching29]

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.

[@LadyMiir]

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.

[@mntnbiker818]

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. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mIPYamdnobqSopI

[@jayhergen]

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?

[@OrlandoParksRover]

For theme park shows that one tops them all! was not expecting the plane to come flying out of the backdrop like that. Very cool!

[@tackyman2011]

I never tire of seeing this show.

[@GrillPiece63]

If Christopher Daniels is playing Deacon, I want to meet him again!!! TNA, ROH, and now Waterworld!!!

[@mntnbiker818]

Saw it yesterday for the umpteenth time over 20+ years - best attraction at Universal!

[@melaniemedina1082]

Its finally back!!! YAY!!

[@Peaches01712]

melanie medina hey loserrrrrr!

[@melaniemedina1082]

Jessibee oh hey 😂

[@beyblade71]

I was just there today. Nice!

[@NickoMcbrainRules]

that unison-final-bow was on point!

[@fireworks990]

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.

[@EricNygma]

So when Christopher Daniels isn't in the ring being an awesome wrestler, he's being a great Deacon in Waterworld. That's an awesome living must say

[@mrpoodlefart]

I wish they had built something to hide the castle in the background

[@eduardochicas8010]

they can but they to close the attraction in order to built a wall of some sort.

[@charlie1701]

Or just put a fake sky background on top of the metal wall...

[@pnsmexico]

Haha, that's the Hogwarts castle from the wizarding world of harry potter!

[@BradyKaynee]

didn't you know... Waterworld and Harry Potter are in the same universe... make sense right? 🤔

[@anonymoususer6828]

I went to this showing of waterworld yesterday and got pics with the cast

[@thefuturepresident1877]

This vid was published on my best friends birthday

[@amazingpulsation9325]

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.

[@CkayCinematic]

The plane was impressive.

[@Happymali10]

Yeah, but the model could use some work to look a bit more like a working plane.

[@exiledrabbit]

I didn't even see the plane

[@Chickendude1]

15:30

[@dianejohnson9981]

Dlonne To

[@mike-cuhljoegan3431]

brings back memories :')

[@michaeld954]

they still have the attraction but still haven't made another movie of it they either need to come up with part 2 or a prequel or revamp

[@PyrotechNick77]

Michael D it's hilarious that the stunt show is more successful than the original film. I agree, waterworld the movie should be revamped or rebooted.

[@MrProTechHD]

cant compare the two Waterworld is OutDated period

[@TwilightLink77]

PyroTechNick777 Like how Godzilla the animated series was better than the film itself.

[@mntnbiker818]

I disagree. It was a great movie, but it helps to be a boater to enjoy it.

[@bryanescamilla6793]

More fire towards the end yay

[@ChristianCampos]

Bryan Escamilla Actually it's been like that ever since they changed the entire show back in 2014.

[@Cancer0081]

damn.... when Deacon first started talking I was wondering what Christopher Daniels was doing there. it was actually him.

[@GrillPiece63]

Cancer0081 i knew it!!!

[@homicidekhalifa4615]

Cancer0081 I just thought the same hahaha that is crazy

[@aleodelatorre]

whoa christopher daniels as the deacon 😮

[@johanneslyng3965]

Danny Mullen freed the slaves

[@LadyMiir]

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.

[@ddrusa]

Yay finally

[@Happymali10]

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

[@pnsmexico]

I thought the girl kinda looked like Gina Carano, since the Deacon was none other than Christopher Daniels? What? Holy crap!!!

[@TrooperClerk]

"THIS. IS. THE WORST TOWN. I'VE EVER BEEN IN!" SCU!

[@salazarvideos9021]

saw this show 2days ago and they didn't even shoot the plan out. I was so pissed!

[@mntnbiker818]

Bummer - that's the high point!

[@AWAREDIAGRAM680]

Sometimes it malfunctions

[@Venom-ml1tg]

I like this Sheriff😆

[@DylanBeckChannel]

Wohoo!!!

[@roseBlight13]

What exactly did they change this time around?

[@totalshots1]

Can you still feel the flames at the end?

[@reaganmcgrath2]

Total Shots Yes you can

[@mntnbiker818]

Oh yea!

[@chickenpork5444]

what did they "refurbish"?

[@bunkevin4534]

What changed? I've been waiting for 3 Months.. I expected more bigger changes.

[@davidpucio1647]

it needed repair, a lot of effects were failing, and the props were breaking down

[@TK-sh7vl]

Bun Kevin and the queue

[@eduardochicas8010]

paint job and more pyro

[@90sbabiesraiseyourhands47]

Not really into the castle in the background. Should look more barren I think.

[@mntnbiker818]

It's the recently-opened Harry Potter attraction. We were there yesterday and, yes, it is a little distracting, but only at first.

[@votpavel]

no fukin way, this place still exist?

[@lilrehab6374]

So what was refurbished?

[@brandonwalters8637]

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!

[@Damien23211]

Brandon Walters There should also be Cool Hollywood and Cool Florida
