Charity Auction Offers Once-In-A-Lifetime Opportunity to Challenge Fear Factor Champions

Tuesday May 3, 2005
Think you've got what it takes to win Fear Factor? You know, the reality show that has couples competing at nearly physically impossible things and chugging unthinkable concoctions. I'm not a fan of the show, but the show has plenty of fans. Enough so that Universal Studios Orlando will be opening a new Fear Factor Live attraction. That's so you, while on your vacation, can take a turn at stunts developed for theme park guests by Universal's creative team and Fear Factor show producers. Sound like fun? If you think so, then you'll want to bid on an opportunity to challenge Fear Factor champions, Dean and Ashley Molina, and audition for a place on the Fear Factor show next season. Here are the details...
  • The charity auction on eBay, which will benefit Give Kids The World, concludes Thursday, May 12.
  • Opening bids are $2,500.
  • High bidders will get one of two vacation packages, 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. This 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.
  • 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.
  • Winners will be among the first to perform the stunts from the new Fear Factor Live attraction. This marks the first time a television show will be transformed into a theme park experience.
"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."
