Abandoned film lot

The Abandoned Film Lot is the set of for Total Drama Action. It is, as the name suggests, a run-down film lot filled with various sets and props from other movie shoots. According to Chris in the Monster Cash, the movie lot was originally the set of a high budget monster movie before the robotic monster went out of control and forced the lot to be closed down.

Various sets from other productions can be found all about the film lot. Such sets include an alien theme spaceship, a wild west theme town, a beach set, and even a replica of the 1,000-foot cliff from Total Drama Island. Other then these movie sets, there are at least two trailers where the castmates sleep. Unlike last season, the trailers rooming plan is based solely on gender and not team affiliation. There is also a Craft Services Tent where the castmates are treated to meals cooked by Chef. Finally, to replace the outhouse of season one, there is a make-up trailer located on set which holds the exact same purpose, but has much nicer accommodations, such as make-up and various clothing.

There is also a large stage accompanied by huge Gilded Chris Awards on either side. Its purpose is for the losing team to go and vote off a member of their team, being the season counterpart to the campfire pit. The losing castmate then takes a walk down another new feature of the lot, the Walk of Shame, and is taken off the lot in the Lame-o-sine. It is unknown where the Lame-o-sine takes the eliminated contestants besides the Aftermath studio. It was revealed in Mutiny on the Soundstage that the aftermath takes place in the film lot as well.

Most of the contestants return to the abandoned film lot at the end of the special, after Chris pulls their crashed bus out of a canyon in his helicopter and carries them back to safety. There, at the craft services tent, Chris announces the new season. This is followed by a party, which the contestants who were not able to qualify watched from a television set in the Celebrity Manhunt studio in disappointment.
