StXBomber Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 LMFAO!!! What a great explination for the statue! I should've known! It's all making sense now! The new ride will be themed to an italian kitchen! Raging Italy, coming in 2004! I'm sure Charles would be in heaven if that was the new ride! Quote
delirium123 Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 I guess the statue would be for the new tombrider show, since the movie was filmed by greece. But who knows it could be for a new coaster next year. I hope so. Quote
Aaron Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 (edited) *sarcasm* YES, the statue COULD still be for a coaster even though PKI stated it is for the Tomb Raider show. *sarcasm off* Edited January 1, 1970 by Aaron Quote
Shman Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 The staute will indeed be used as an advertizement for the Tomb Raider stunt show....for the time being. But this staute is also a stepping stone for the park because they want to start featuring more movie props and displays throughout the park....this one will wind up being the first. Quote
teenageninja Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 They wouldn't have to tell anyone that they were building a coaster. They could start now have half of the layout up in August and not tell what it is till October. Quote
bingog34 Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 Shman-Why would they put random movie props in places where they look out of place? That just doesn't make any sense. Quote
SML828 Posted June 4, 2003 Posted June 4, 2003 OK, this is just guessing on my part... First off, the current statue isn't out of place because it ties in with the TR stunt show Plus, if they keep adding props throughout the park, it won't look as odd... It sounds like they are really trying to be somewhere between Universal & Disney...a movie-themed family amusement park...I say, good for them! Quote
Crispy1979 Posted June 5, 2003 Posted June 5, 2003 >>>Shman-Why would they put random movie props in places where they look out of place? That just doesn't make any sense.<<< Haven't they been doing this since Paramount bought the Park? Like the movie props in the Paramount Story gardens. Also, is the location of this statue where the floral clock used to be? I know that in this area around the tower there used to be a floral liberty bell, a floral date (the floral numbers were changed every day), the floral clock, and a floral basket across from where the taxis were. So the large vacant spots of the former locations of these large floral displays would seem the most logical place for pki to put something of interest. (although I do agree that the floral displays fit in better) Cris Quote
Losing Streak Posted June 5, 2003 Posted June 5, 2003 Almost all the floral displays are still there. They did take out the hanging basket behind the Eiffel Tower and parked a mower there. The clock and date are still there, in their original locations. The statue is located to the right of the path behind the Eiffel Tower if you were facing the Floral Clock. Quote
Crispy1979 Posted June 5, 2003 Posted June 5, 2003 Ah, thanks for the info. It's great to hear the floral displays are back this year! Cris Quote
