Die-hard fans of the hit reality television show FEAR FACTOR and other thrill-seekers will bid for the chance to hurl squid at a partner while suspended in mid-air, scramble from a car dangling 25-feet above ground and chug a meal-worm and sauerkraut smoothie - all while competing against real FEAR FACTOR champions.
And wait. There´s more.
Qualified bid-winners will take on those stunts at Universal Orlando´s new Fear Factor Live attraction. Their performance will also be a live audition in front of producers from the hit FEAR FACTOR TV show, who will consider offering the winners a place on the show next season. This will be the first live audition ever conducted by FEAR FACTOR producers.
The on-line listing, is to mark the grand-opening of Universal Orlando´s new Fear Factor Live attraction - a new show that will give park guests the chance to compete in the same type of stunts they watch others perform on the TV show.
The charity auction, which will benefit Give Kids The World, began on Monday, May 2 and ends Thursday, May 12 - with opening bids set to start at $2,500. High bidders will get one of two vacation packages, listed on eBay, The World´s Online Marketplace?, which include the chance to compete in the Fear Factor Live attraction against Dean and Ashley Molina, who won this season´s FEAR FACTOR Couples´ Competition on NBC. The package also includes a four-night/five-day vacation to Universal Orlando including accommodations, round-trip airfare, theme park admission, a VIP tour of the parks and a FEAR FACTOR TV show prop signed by show host Joe Rogan.
"FEAR FACTOR has become a true phenomenon across the United States," said Bob Gault, President and CEO, Universal Orlando. "We are thrilled to offer fans of the show - and our theme park guests - the chance to compete against real FEAR FACTOR winners. This is a one time experience that can not be duplicated anywhere else."
The winners will be among the first to perform the stunts from the new attraction, which have been developed especially for theme park guests by Universal´s creative team and FEAR FACTOR show producers.
Based upon the award-winning NBC program FEAR FACTOR, Fear Factor Live marks the first time a reality television show will be transformed into a theme park experience. In each show, park guests will compete against each other in a progression of extreme stunts, which are designed to test their physical and emotional limits.
All proceeds from the listings will be donated to Give Kids The World. The charity auction can be accessed through eBay at eBay FEAR FACTOR Auction and the Universal Orlando website at www.universalorlando.com.
