How you can participate in Fear Factor
Have you always dreamed of participating in a reality show? Here’s your chance. Fear Factor Live is a stunt show at Universal Studios Tours where volunteers are part of the audience. Since there are three to five shows going on every day, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to take part in it.
Of course, there are some things you need to know and remember before you take part in the stunt show. First of all, this is not a mock show. The fears are real and there is no simulated scare factor in this show. And the stunts are performed by audience members just like you. So if you’re fainthearted, you better not try it.
If you think you have the guts to go ahead and participate, visit the casting office, located near the Terminator attraction in the theme park. There are some physical standards that need to be met, ensuring that you can handle the tasks assigned to you. You even have to sign a liability form that releases Universal Studios and Fear Factor from any liability, should any injuries or damages occur.
Before the actual show begins, audience members who weren’t selected to participate are called to the stage and some similar challenges are thrown, such as eating bugs and bugs. The winner of the pre-show contest receives wonderful prizes, such as an annual theme park pass. Then there is an audience warm-up to build excitement from the show’s hosts.
There are six contestants on the show, all chosen from the casting office. Their dress code is like the original Fear Factor dress: tight uniforms. A series of challenges, again like the Fear Factor challenges, are then thrown at the contestants. These include falls from a height, tests of skill, and of course the well-known foul challenge. While the show is going on, an audience member is chosen for another challenge, like putting your head in a tank full of scorpions.
After watching Fear Factor, if you have bragged to your friends that it was easy for you and that you could easily handle all those stunts yourself, beware. It may be that you prove yourself right or your friends prove you wrong. This is your once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to take part in the Fear Factor Live show at Universal Studios Tours and prove your worth. Go and meet with the casting office as soon as you can, but make sure you meet all of their physical requirements. If you don’t, ask to be part of the audience.
