“We wanted to be able to travel to different locations. “We wanted to do a little more than what traditional stunt shows were,” Deborah Buynak, senior vice president at Universal Orlando Resort, tells Polygon. And that was the goal from the very beginning, when park creatives began poring through the Universal license library looking for inspiration for a new show. Even compared to legendary shows like Disney’s Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular and the Waterworld Stunt Show, there’s nothing quite like it. Flying somewhat under the radar at Universal Studios in Orlando - the attraction was set to launch pre-pandemic and eventually popped up in the fog of June 2020 when parks began to reopen - the stunt show adapts the visceral thrills of the Jason Bourne movies through a melding of technology and practical effects that’s performed eight times a day. This is what makes The Bourne Stuntacular such a revelation. Polygon is diving into the world of espionage throughout fiction and pop culture history with Deep Cover, a two-week special issue covering all sorts of spy stories and gadgets.
