A live stunt attraction in the vein of the Hercules and Xena TV shows, played more for laughs than for thrills.

Fire and water is always entertaining. I think that they try to pack too much story into this show, and it just ends up confusing instead of entertaining. The cast both times I have seen this was quite talented and strong and beautiful. However, I didn't find them to be as funny as I think they were meant to be. - Lisa K

A very enjoyable show, with an entertaining story and likeable characters. The scenary and special effects were also very clever. Would prefer a movie-based show if I'm honest, but still well worth a visit. - Ben Price

Not the greatest show. Too much cheesy stuff in it. I would love to see Harry Potter replace this show. 3/10 - D H

Too many pop culture references for my liking. - Nicholas Gammon

All in all it's a good stunt show. The effects are cool and the jokes are cheesy, but it's a good option to rest your feet and relax if you can make it. If the crowd is dull, then I give it a 6/10, but if the crowd is into the jokes, 7.5/10. I remember when then show was new and the place was packed. it was awesome! But now there are limited show times and it's getting outdated. Kind of sad to see, but the Lost Continent is "losing it's luster". - Bob Liebe

Not bad for a break to sit down and relax. Nice effects, cheesy jokes. Plus it's fun to watch the audience get hit with water. - Glenn Davis

Very underrated! It's the best way to rest your feet during the day. Great effects with jaw-dropping stunts and good special effects. A few laughs thrown in here and there make it enjoyable for children as well. - Benjamin Odom

Entertaining enough, but just OK really. There are some good effects used but the story itself is a little dull. Worth a look if you have time. - Emily G
