derek9312 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Just looked on Carowinds Connection and they have talked about it and a guy on there said there might be something wrong with a footer and they ended up taking a support down to dig that footer up. Here are some photos the guy took while at the park the other day http://www.thrillnetwork.com/boards/showpo...;postcount=3452 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teenageninja Posted October 1, 2007 Share Posted October 1, 2007 In response to the Titanic joke... Too soon? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast1979 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I can very easily imagine a Titanic Ride. They'll have people stand in a recreation of the Titanic and have the boat tilt while they flood the area with water. And you try to see how long you can stay on before you chicken out. Tat would be awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Butcher Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 ...but only if they license the name from. . . Paramount Pictures, a unit of Viacom, former owner of Paramount's Kings Island. Since when has Titanic been known only as a movie?!? Sure they could not distribute the movie or a knockoff of the movie but they certainly could use the name, especially when the trademark as a movie title/intelectual property wears off. Thats the thing that gets me about Top Gun. Top Gun is actually an elite flight school for the best of the best. Top Gun I believe could stay Top Gun as the trademark is no longer valid, whether based off the movie or not, All Paramount now owns is rights to market and distribute the movie. It seems to reason that as long as the flight school doesnt have a problem with it the name could stay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raptor66 Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 But would they have to make a new logo? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cory Butcher Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 I believe that may hold true, about the logo. I think it would be construed as the logo to the movie distribution and cataloguing rights. But that would depend on if the logo stays with the production company as a part of distribution rights, or is in itself a trademark that wasnt renewed.

The Interpreter Posted October 3, 2007 Share Posted October 3, 2007 The reality is the mere threat of litigation is enough to keep most prudent companies from using what can easily be claimed to be a licensed property. Twisted SisterS was not even the name of the band that ended up preventing SFKK from using that name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex Posted October 13, 2007 Share Posted October 13, 2007 A quick up date from my hotel. Top Gun at Carowinds is up and running. I took some pictures and will try to update later on.
