YuYuYuuki

I sneezed when I read this.

Hearing Jim Cummings' evil voice anywhere else and instantly thinking about FoF.

No no no no, Lucy Van Zimmerman is to blame. Who else would remove rides without warning and increase prices??? Crabby Lucy, that's who! Anyways, I'd ask Don: "Will anyone who actually yells out Yabba-Dabba-Dabba-Doo get kicked out of the park?" Or for the more modern era, "Will all bubble-blowing babies be beaten senselessly by every able-bodied patron in the park?"

I went to PKI in August 2004 when I was 8, and my parents took me on Flight of Fear. I remember everyone watching the preshow, and when the lights went out, all the girls screamed, including the one I was next to (remember that now.) Some guy yelled "SISSIES!!!" I wasn't prepared for what happened next. That voice... that goddarn voice with its slightly condescending tone... "There is nothing wrong with your equipment..." My parents knew this was a riff on the Outer Limits on Showtime, which they watched back then. But Jim Cummings made me feel all weird inside. Me and the guests headed into the station. The trains coming back empty was scary, but that VOICE... Me and the girl next to me boarded (my parents were in front of me.) I heard the "How precious is the human spirit, how optimistic, how naïve" line. My seatmate turns to me and says, "His voice is hot..." My face lit up. I knew I was in for a hell of a ride. The op did a one-liner, we were off, and me and my seatmate were cheering like there was no tomorrow. After the ride ended, that voice came back. "Interesting, we didn't expect you to actually survive that." Me and my seatmate were trying not to get flustered in public. I asked the girl what her name was as we were getting off, she said she was Lacey. I rode with her again on Face/Off, strangely. This happened again at Kings Dominion the following year, but I asked my seatmate if they found the voice hot, and she said "I guess." Said seatmate also asked if I was autistic, which I am. I miss Lacey.

Does the alien leader from Flight of Fear have an official name??

And what followed that line... Jim Cummings' sexy voice as the alien leader saying "There is nothing wrong with your equipment," with that nigh-mocking overtone... I felt funny in my little girl knickers, that's for sure!

And of course you know that only Karens support Kidz Bop. "THEY CAN'T HEAR ME BECAUSE THEY'RE LISTENING TO kIdZ bOp!"

I'm scared of heights, but I go on everything. What helps is closing your eyes, or having trust in the restraint.

I hope they get the rights to Vince Guaraldi's music and stop playing Kidz Bop.

Some girl when I went in 2004 definitely had a crush on the alien leader from FoF. "His voice is hot..." Bonus points for me sitting next to her on the ride. Her name was Lacey. Never saw her again after that trip.

Yet it doesn't mention Space Ghost or Birdman.

The Enchanted Voyage song is great, and truly a celebration of Hanna-Barbera. However, because the license has been replaced twice since then, I'd like to update the song; same melody, but with new lyrics about the current license. Yep, Snoopy! All I have for the lyrics right now are "Snoopy and that Red Baron he chases," "I'm friends with Charlie Brown and Sally and her sweet baboo! Older sister Lucy, too..." and "I love that beagle and bird; I laugh at them until I hurt." It could be done in a jazz style, since we know Peanuts relied heavily on jazz. If anyone has anything they'd like to suggest for the lyrics, go ahead!

Six Flags was once owned by Warner Bros., so they're allowed to use the license as long as they want. In addition, Warner is closely involved with the rides.

I mean, what is the voice you are referring to? The feminine one, or the one that sounds like Zurg?

I think it was SpongeBob by the time I went (August 2004.)

El Toro isn't that rough IMHO. Did you ride it before or after the structure repair???

They needed to make those Space Ghost and Galaxy Trio rides (and give Birdman a ride.) Then in the 90s/00s they could've just desecrated all over them just like Adult Swim did.

I read both!

I rode SoB with the loop! That thing was rough in a good way! The loop was the only smooth part.

I heard this mentioned on another thread that said it was used in TV ads and in the station. They linked to a Sean Flaherty video, but it's down, so I had to look up the TV ad. There's two: a female voice and a male voice that sounds like the one at the beginning of the Indian Thriller (IYKYK.) Which one was used in the station?

Does anyone have any information on the "Vortex voice?" You mean the robotic one?

That song certainly shows its age, because how many kids today know who they are??? This is probably the reason they removed it in 1984... Nowadays, it'd go "Fred Flintstone, he's the Grand Dad; Scooby Doo and Super Shag; Space Ghost, Zorak, Moltar, and Brak, live in my TV!"

Awww!!! Huckleberry Hound is ADORABLE!!!

I didn't spit DIRECTLY on her, but in her direction. And I was 8.
