Hmm...
more rides based upon TV shows... How about a new Hanna-Barabara Cartoons section based upon classic cartoons like Huckelberry Hound, Mugilla Gorilla, and that damn little yellow duck... all mainly themed around Cartoon Network's Boomerang Network (hmm... Boomerang... that sounds like a good name for a coaster of some sort).
My interpratation was that you like this area of PKI and PKD a lot. Or maybe there is something I do not know. Where the themes changed at these two parks or somthing?
I am a huge fan of the Transformers. Are Mr. Peck and I the only two people here that know what the "Transformers" are?
When one of those baby's blow... there be a sparks-a-flyin'!
Oh yea, there was also a really badly animated cartoon of some sort along with a set of toys in the mid-80's... and a newer modern version, without the cool transforming sound effect from the 80's.
A themed ride... that does not make.
Mr. DawgByte II, WHAT??? Transformers was the second greatest cartoon/toy franchise of it's time just behind HE-MAN and the Masters of the Universe. Presently, Transformers are a lot more popular. Just sit and watch the old Transformers animated movie again and tell me that it isn't better than you remember. (imho, of course. I am laughing, I am not angry. It's funny. Just clearing up any misinterpretations of my mood on the subject.) A god eats planets, for crying out loud.
Sorry for the interruption. Please continue.
On this simulator/dark ride, where all ride-ops wear a nametag that says "John", we start out by boarding a vehicle we've been told is about to participate in an experiment to break the sound barrrier! We are "luanched" and are soon speeding away when the vehicle swerves and heads straight for a mountain. Moments before impact, the area of the mountain directly in front of us dissolves, and all lights are out as we are treated to some seriously trippy images :). When the lights return, the voice of Peter Weller informs us that we just travelled through the mountain!
Immediately after hearing that, a hologram appears before our eyes and informs everyone that our little trip has allowed beings from the formless void of the eighth dimension to invade our world. We can't see them, but they can see us. Our only hope is a top neurosurgeon, race car driver, rock star and comic book hero...
We're further told that these beings have stolen the propulsion device that enabled our journey, and plan to use it to return to their home world, from which they were banished. The alien in front of us, from the same world, would just a soon destroy the Earth to extinguish the threat.
It's up to us and Team Banzai to race after these beings (Lectroids, actually), and recover the device. We have 88 minutes to achieve our goal. Or else...:(
Of course, the ride wouldn't last that long;). While straying from the movie in places to streamline the story and add a few surprises, I'll bet me and my geeky friends would hardly be the only ones willing to trek wherever we needed to in order to get on this ride.
And if the ride proved popular, perhaps we'd finally see that long-proposed sequel dealing with the world crime league (sigh).
