Positive aspects of the product (pros): Love the special effects Cons: Stairs to climb, no back support on bleacher seats.
If you ever wondered how they do the stunts in the movie this is your opportunity to see how it is done.
It can get hot in the seats. I would take in the first show of the day.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): absolutely none Cons: loud, smelly
I found this attraction much too loud with all the reving engines and the smell of the exhaust absolutely choking. I left with such a headache. Now that I've seen it once I don't have to worry about going again.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Exciting stunts, talented drivers Cons: Miserable queue, will broast in the Florida sun
I loved the stunt show itself - the drivers were death-defying, and obviously taking chances to give a thrilling performance.
However, the entry to the stadium and the long, long wait were an absolute misery. I wish the designers took into account that an hour in Florida sun is not nearly as forgiving as an hour in France. Further, when you did manage to stumble up the steep bleachers, the seats themselves were of metal. I could almost hear the sound of tourists sizzling in the mid-day sun.
Be sure to consider the weather and time of day before you commit to this show - I fear health consequences for some guests.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Unique Cons: Huge Arena
A fun action packed show that the boys in the family will enjoy. The girls might be bored and not enjoy it as much. Once is enough though, not much reason to see it over and over.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): takes crowds away from other attractions Cons: long, boring after about 10 minutes
Like DPuck said above, I have daughters and they were bored after about 5 minutes. My wife was bored after about 10 and I was able to hold on for about 15 minutes before I got bored. The show was too long and I personally wouldn't go see it again if I was with the family. On a solo trip I would consider it just as long as it wasn't a hot day as the fumes tend to linger.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Nice to know the French have to sit through this also Cons: BORING!!!
This is a "one and done" attraction. There is roughly five minutes of action padded out into a 35 minute show. Considering the time it takes to get in and get out, you've blown 90 minutes.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): surprisingly good show Cons: lots of people
I didn't expect to even like this show, not being much into cars, but I LOVED it!
They really know how to put on a show, once you get used to the broadcast style! I tell everyone about how impressed I was with the special effects.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Great show for anyone that loves cars and chase scenes Cons: Not much here if that's not your bag
In my opinion, and it might be worth noting that "Gone in 60 Seconds" is one of my favorite films of all time, this is the best show at any of the parks in Disney or Universal--I can't include SeaWorld, maybe Disney could work a whale into this show somehow.
Fantastic tire screeching, engine revving, car jumping action. It's also worth noting that this attraction was brought here because of the popularity it had at the Disneyland Paris location. Anything that was brought from half way around the world because of how great it was is worth seeing.
Sorry Mom, you owe it to your 8 year old boy to sit through that stinky exhaust. You ARE dragging him to that Beauty and the Beast show later, right?

Stunts and effects are spectacular but the whole premise is overdone.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Learn how it's done in the movies Cons:
We liked this show the first time we saw it. It really shows you how car chase scenes are done in the movies. However once you do this show a couple times it becomes boring and we tend to skip it now. The metal bleacher type seating can be hot in the Florida sun.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): good stunt show for boys Cons:
This is a good show for everyone especially boys. The only con is that they might want to change the show up sometimes so that each time you see it, it's differnet and you don't know what you will get.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Something you don't see elsewhere Cons: Poor storyline, doesn't bear repeat visits
While the show is interesting, there's only a few ways you can show cars chasing each other and doing jumps. After a while its just more of the same.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Flashy Cons: Stadium seating
The show was pretty cool. However, the EXTREMELY long wait for the show to begin and the LONG climb to the top of the stadium is keeping me from ever seeing it again.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): interesting car and motorcycle stunts Cons: huge theater, some seats are far from the show
It is an interesting show, but has limited appeal in my family. Even my teenage children were not interested in seeing it again. If crowded, there may be a significant climb to the upper rows in the theater.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): holds a lot of people Cons: a huge waste of money
I just don't get it. I hate this attraction. First of all, the CM are screaming at you to go higher, higher...I hate heights. Noisy cars, not for me. I would rather see the Hunchback show or anything but this. See it once, and you don't need to see it again.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Talented drivers, cool stunts Cons: Hot viewing area
Drivers are talented and there's real danger involved. Fun to see the precision driving in tight space.
You might as well skewer the audience...we were roasting as it was. Can't imagine doing this in the hotter months.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): the cars, entertaining, you learn a few things (maybe) Cons: it's hot in that stadium!
This is something you most certainly should see at least once. Certainly if you're a fan of cars or films featuring cars. Though I really enjoyed it, I think seeing it once every three or four years is probably enough.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): Exciting show, action. Holds a lot of people. Cons: Can get very hot at certain times of day, Lots of walk to get to seats
Great show. Lots of excitment without being over-the-top. Lasts the right length of time. The stadium holds a lot of people. The stadium should've been turned around so guests didn't have to walk so far to get to their seats. Gets VERY hot from about 1:00-5:00. It is a great show overall and would definately recommend it.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): cars chasing each other, jumping, and driving backwards Cons: only 2 shows a day
this is an AWESOME show for anyone who loves car chases and action movies. the red hero car gets chased all over by the black chase cars. there are several jumps and even backwards driving as guests learn what all goes into filming chase scenes.

Positive aspects of the product (pros): stunt show with guns and explosions Cons: tall bleachers and almost a mile walk to your seats
this is an OK stunt show with good car stunts and some great pryo but i feel that the stunt area wasn't well made at times it seems that the cars run outta space very fast and will spend a lot of time going back and forth
for those going for Herbie he has been replaced for lightning MC queen also be ready for a long walk to and from your seats
