adam_sparks1 Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Tbh I hope they do use screens. Rides like superman and transformers at Universal are the best dark rides I have been on and need a ride like them in the UK and I think even Europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rides like superman and transformers at Universal are the best dark rides I have been on and need a ride like them in the UK and I think even Europe We've got Ratatouille which is a pretty awesome dark ride by anyones standards (even if US Disney fans aren't big fans). I welcome our screen based overlords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benin Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 What's with the hate for Doctor Who? Also, screen based rides can work amazingly, as Mark has already pointed out, Ratatouille is a fantastic example of this, purely because of the quality put into said screen work... Of course, we could end up with Wonder Mountain Guardian, which is the opposite end of that spectrum in general screen based dark ride quality...

huzzellio Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 I personally love Doctor Who, and my 9 year old son adores it. This would be a great addition for the park and would certainly help draw the family element into the park. It's pretty much one of the biggest IPs they could get. Still, a bit early to speculate what it is I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merry-go-girl Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 What's with the hate for Doctor Who? With all due respect to the people that like it, personally I find it to be a really really stupid show. Sorry. I wanted something either fantasy or horror inspired.

AstroDan Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 Not a massive Ratatouille fan. It's good but not astounding due to the fact you feel detached from many of the screens. However, a 3D ride like Transformers - yes please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted something either fantasy or horror inspired. I'm the same way as you. Really hate Dr Who... Sure some people will love it but can Thorpe pull it off. I'm hoping for horror or original theme aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricky Posted March 27, 2015 Report Share Posted March 27, 2015 I think if we got something similar to Forbidden Journey at Universal, we could be on to a winner. The contrast between screens and sets is remarkable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 As much as I would like a Hunger Games ride, I don't think it would really work due to the storyline. However, I think a ride based on the Divergent Trilogy could. After recently watching (most) of the film, I think the concept of the trains travelling around Chicago (a big part of the film, unlike the HG's trains) would be a good way to transport riders. I know that Alleigiant Part One will come out in 2016, so the franchise won't even be finished by the ride's opening and its not on the same scale of popularity to The Hunger Games, but I could see a Divergent Trilogy ride working.

Deleted Users Posted March 28, 2015 Report Share Posted March 28, 2015 IP Quality =/= Ride Quality. Though I guess Saw and Angry Birds do correlate so maybe we are doomed. Personally I would go with the Mrs Featherbottom IP Tom and MachoMachine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The film has a massive long zip line doesn't it? That would make a good ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack F Posted March 29, 2015 Report Share Posted March 29, 2015 I would quite like to see a Mad House put in there. It would be family friendly, and with a pre show could prove to be better than Hex. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam_sparks1 Posted March 30, 2015 Report Share Posted March 30, 2015 I know a dark ride will be a very great addition to the park and something that has been needed since Witches burned down but only if they do it well. Personally as someone who is 18, thrill lover and doesn't go with family I wanted a new coaster haha. Don't get me wrong though if they can make the dark ride like the quality of Transformers at Universal It will be amazing as transformers is one of my faves. But I really did want a good RMC or traditional wooden coaster around Canada Creek using the BWP and old train station and the start finish point.
