ORIGINAL PRESS RELEASE (1984):
THE A-TEAM.
They crash, they burn, they blow up. And they always walk away winners.
But if you think their stunts look wild on television, wait until you see how we recreate what they do at Universal Studios.
It's the spectacular new A-Team Live Action Show. Our fifth new show in the expanded Entertainment Center.
You'll see incredible stunts like leaping vans, controlled crashes, roll-overs, artillery duels, gunfights, motorcycle jumps and high explosives - all demonstrated and explained to you in our new arena.
It's an awesome display and it's all just part of a full day of family fun at Universal Studios.
The A-Team Live Action Show.
If you can take it, they can sure dish it out.
