Lights, Motors, Action! Extreme Stunt Show made its first appearance with the opening of the Walt Disney Studios Park in Paris in 2002. In 2005, the show made the transition state-side, adding to the lineup at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Florida.
On the Studio Backlot, one can find production sets ranging from New York City to Tatooine. With Lights, Motors, Action!, a bit of the south of France was brought to the park as well. The setting for the espionage thriller being "filmed" in the show is an unnamed seaport town on the Mediterranean. In actuality, the sets were directly inspired by the real town of Villefranche-sur-Mer.
The photos above and below show the picturesque coastline of Villefranche-sur-Mer, along with comparisons to the sets at Lights, Motors, Action!
As with any movie set, the production only built what the camera needed to see. As Guests enter the stadium for the show, they're treated to a view of the bare, structural supports behind the scenes. Once you come around to the front, though, the artistic work and attention to detail of the set designers becomes apparent. It's as if you've left the Florida Studio lot and stepped onto the Riviera.
