Thrill_Biscuit Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Can anyone tell me where the queue for Flight Commander is, and can you see them from Google maps? Sorry for the thread hijack. It's now the Dinosaurs Alive picnic area. On Google's aerial imagery, it may still contain the pool with the plastic spheres (and, if you look really closely, you might spot Beast1979 inside one of them )... 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, it still has the pool with the plastic spheres (always wanted to do that but never got the chance to!) & I don't have good enough eye sight for that! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither does Google (yet). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voicetek Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I'd remove that and install Phantom Theater 2.0 or The Phantom Theater Returns. It would be like the original, but better. Instead of one level it would have 2 kind of like the Haunted Mansion at Disney. Also, I'd have a cobblestone path leading down to the new building and theme the area with trees and old lamps and lamp posts. And of course sound effects coming from hidden speakers. It would be a whole experience! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BB1 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 @ voice- Great idea, I would have more of a brick path, but the whole idea of PT at AT sounds great, (See Haunted Mansion landscaping). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cobblestone, brick..whichever works. I was just thinking about something that would resemble an old road. I've just always thought that that area would be great to theme, especially for a ride like Phantom Theater. I'd almost like the building to appear somewhat hidden and then get revealed the further you walk down the path. I've created something like this in Roller Coaster Tycoon and often imagine what it would be like if KI ever brought the Phantom Theater back and put it in a location that was fully themed.

I'm thinking the vine wall? If so I know what you mean, a few pillars, with english ivy, or wintercreeper growing up it. Then having old jallopys sitting around the quene.

TheCrypt Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but isn't the Haunted Mansion (at Disney World at least) only one level? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 I'm not sure. The last time I went on it I was six and had my eyes closed the whole time. I was not a fan of "scary" things at the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malem Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but isn't the Haunted Mansion (at Disney World at least) only one level? The elevator "with no windows and no doors" takes you down to board the ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCrypt Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 ^That does not necessarily make it a 2-story ride. Also, the elevator takes you down something like 6 ft., not enough for a 2-story attraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muppetfan1999 Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but isn't the Haunted Mansion (at Disney World at least) only one level? The elevator "with no windows and no doors" takes you down to board the ride. In case I'm mistaken, doesn't that only happen in the Disneyland version? I'm pretty sure the Disney World version just raises the ceiling. Of course, I could be wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongliveKingsCobra Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Couldn't it be one of those "fake" elevators? You know one where nothing really goes down, but you just get the illusion you are? I've never been on it so I don't know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, I could be wrong. I just checked, and you're right. Only Disneyland's has the elevator; Disney World's is just the illusion.

Voicetek Posted August 11, 2012 Share Posted August 11, 2012 Forgive me if I'm mistaken, but isn't the Haunted Mansion (at Disney World at least) only one level? There are parts in the ride where the car you're riding in goes up what's supposed to be stair cases I guess. You are definitely going up to another level. Then, I believe, you come back down at one point as well. I wasn't talking about the elevator part before you load. That is obviously an illusion. However, during the actual ride part you do go up and down to various levels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
