  1. That PKI topic and The Bat topic are close to being that old... Just sayin'.

    EDIT: But yeah, I agree with you, Ty. I don't know what's up with all these revivals. My God, just make a new thread!

  2. Shaggy, almost all of the land you hilighted in your post of Kings Island is maintenance roads. I'm not saying it is impossible to work it's way around them, I'm just saying that Canada's Wonderland's was all empty land.

    As my stepfather's fraternity buddy says, "I ain't sayin' anything, I'm just sayin'."

  3. I said it appears to be that you are stumped. However, under careful studies it has been our consenus that it is just a hoax by a local poster, as a publicity stunt for his latest post.

  4. Kind of related, FUN now owns the rights to Flight of Fear's soundtrack. Does that mean that they own Tomb Raider's? Or was Tomb Raider's soundtrack a packaged deal with the whole shabang of rights? Or possibly, does Tomb Raider's soundtrack(s) abide by the seperate music licensing terms?

  5. Yes. But music licensing is very different. By paying the proper fees, music can generally be played for commercial use in a public place.

    I believe Holiday World plays themes from various Paramount movies.

    Provided things are still there, I doubt you will see Durga illuminated because she was part of a former story-line on a ride that doesn't exist anymore. As for everything else, you have to account for safety and egress locations. If they plan on using the main show building, there are certain things to think about. The Heart of the Tomb was not meant to have people walking around in it. It was built to provide the show environment for a large ride. Things have to change in order to accommodate a walk-through Haunt attraction.

    As I understand it, the bottom of the warehouse is just a concrete slab. It might have been ripped up when removing the a frame arms from the Giant TopSpin, but new concrete could have been poured.

    As far as the goddess, the goddess herself isn't copyrighted, but the prop. Can't they pull a SDatHC and put glowing red LED's over her eyes at least? Or just illuminate the eyes herself.

    What I fail to understand is how a Durga is still under protection by the patent when the thing patented no longer exists (the ride). I've never seen Tomb Raider, but does Durga even appear in it? If not, then how can it be tied to the movie?

  6. I absolutely love hearing roller coaster / amusement machines' roars, hisses, and clanks. Some of my favorite sounds in the park are Invertigo's lift, Flight Deck's brakes, Vortex's anti-rollback, Diamondback's roar, among others. I'm sure The Bat would have made that list, too.

  7. I'm not sad to see it go, but I am sad that a rare coaster type is lessoned by one. Just as I was sad when Big Bad Wolf, and Wildcat (CP) was taken down. We just don't see rides like these anymore.

    I wish they would move the ride to Michigan's Adventure and keep it outside so it could live on.

    They could have sent the Crypt there too.

    No! No! No! NOO!

    Sorry, needed to get that out.

    *ahem* I loved DISpatch mASTER TRANSPORT because it was a unique experience and I didn't expect more of it. I rode in 2010 I do believe, and I thought that since it was a FUN park, the theming was pretty good. I mean really, Kinzel's idea of theming was The Crypt pre 2011? :huh:
