Xtreme Xventure was a BMX themed stunt show at the Toon Lagoon Amphitheater that operated from 2000 to 2001 during peak seasons.
It was discontinued due to various issues and the reactions of the inappropriate word in the title "freakin" to the general public and was later replaced with Mat Hoffman's Aggro Circus.
Hosted by Mat Hoffman, the show featured numerous BMX bike and skateboarding stunt tricks under a circus theme.
In the first version, an old tour guide known as The Keeper wove a tale about the great lost city of Atlantis and an epic battle between Zeus and Poseidon (voiced by Jeremy Irons).
The Keeper revealed himself to be Zeus in disguise and, after an effects-laden battle, defeated Poseidon before transporting guests back to the chamber in which the show had started.
[9] As of 2024, the stage has not been demolished, and part of the theatre is used as an extended queue area for Hagrid's Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure.
Sylvester McMonkey McBean's Very Unusual Driving Machines was an attraction due to open with Islands of Adventure on May 28, 1999.

The event was a celebration of the fandom of the Harry Potter books authored by J. K. Rowling and the Wizarding World franchise (including the Harry Potter film series and Fantastic Beasts film series), in a collaboration between Universal Parks & Resorts, Warner Bros. Entertainment and Scholastic.
