The U.S. Army Stunt Show is undoubtedly Movieland’s most extraordinary show—a concentration of pure adrenaline and special effects. In a large arena featuring a vast artificial lake, daring stunt performers will keep you on the edge of your seat for 35 unforgettable minutes filled with chases, explosions, water jumps and rescues. Thanks to the new Director’s Cut version, you will be totally immersed in the action, witnessing incredible scenes such as a real plane landing on the water and a real tank entering the scene amidst cannon fire and flames. What’s more, you won’t just be passive spectators; you might even be chosen as extras and become part of the show!
You will also find numerous food outlets, bars and restaurants scattered across the park, ready to satisfy every taste.

What we love about Movieland – The Hollywood Park
Here is what stood out to us during our visit:
- On board with real stuntmen: Forget the usual tracks. Here, you climb into trucks and jet boats with professional drivers ready to treat you to drifts, spins and an insane rush of adrenaline. When will you ever get another adventure like this? It’s definitely not your classic daily commute!
- The “tantrum/wallet saver”: Parents, breathe a sigh of relief! When exiting the attractions, you aren’t always forced to parade past mountains of gadgets and soft toys. A choice that mums and dads will absolutely appreciate.
- From one park to another in a single “leap”: Did you buy a combined ticket with Caneva – The Aquapark? Great move. The game-changer is that you don’t have to leave and queue all over again: there is a highly convenient internal parks gate connecting the two worlds. Swimming costume on and off you go!
- Lockers: At the entrance, you’ll find security lockers where you can leave your rucksacks to enjoy the day hands-free.
- Democratic fun: There’s a great balance between attractions for little ones and high-adrenaline rides for teenagers and adults. No one is left disappointed.
- A team that feels like a big family: A little detail we absolutely adored? The walls dedicated to the stunt performers, complete with photos, names and nicknames. It’s a wonderful way to give these thrill-artists the recognition they deserve, and it makes visitors feel like part of a big, warm cinematic family too.
But the best scene—the kind that warms your heart—came right at the end, in the Bugs Town area. There was a group of teenagers, around sixteen years old, who, instead of being glued to their smartphones as usual, threw themselves into an epic lassoing challenge to catch a (strictly fake) bull. Seeing them laughing their heads off, completely in sync and totally immersed in such a physical, “analogue” game, brought a massive smile to our faces. It’s proof that sometimes, to disconnect from the world and truly connect with each other, all it takes is a bit of good old-fashioned atmosphere.
