Has Flight of Fear always had a pre-recorded loading spiel? I noticed it today, along with the "...kindly explain why YOU are the ones trapped in your seats!" and "We didn't actually expect you to survive that!" ones being on. (Also, they finally dusted the UFO and fixed the broken lights- thanks, KI maintnance! )

Never knew they did the pre-recorded. Must be new. I knew about the lights though. They still do the video that they play over and over lol.

Yes, as far as I remember the loading spiel has been playing...

But what happened to all the "aliens" in those tubes? Now they are just plastic manikins covered in...aluminum foil?

I hate that video they need a new one that is not so dumb.

I always thought those things were creepy. One of them, as well as the "Evil Nursery Baby" in the WEBN haunted house looks EXACTLY like my sister.

I always think of the ID4 movie when I'm in there. Very cool theme.

Would you rather have a corny video or none at all? I don't see CF redoing it. Ever. At least they finally gave the queue some TLC- it needed it!

Actually, I love the video and it never crossed my mind about the cheesiness, until some of my friends were making fun of it earlier this year. It is really cheesy.

This spiel?

I don't think I have ever heard that.

This spiel?

WOW, you have a lot of KI videos out there!

Yes, that would be the spiel. I have never heard it before. Hmm. I also wonder why they bother playing the spiels that cut off abruptly...

Spiel: "We know... what happens... when the human body is pushed to-"

Me: "...The Outer Limits?"

It's actually 3 different clips i just stuck together. And yeah I do have alot of videos

Licensing issues. The park no longer has the rights to refer to that series...

The ride was once known as Outer Limits: Flight of Fear. The rights to Outer Limits were not renewed...and this was well before the Cedar Fair days.

I would think it would have been easy to change "...the outer limits." to "...the limit." on that one in particular.

That would not be enough of a change to satisfy the holder of the Outer Limits rights.

Especially given the ride's long history of referring to The Outer Limits.

My freind just relived there was a mirror behind the UFO.

Which would be "mirrorlization" according to my friend Josh.

I didnt think they hadd a pre recorded spiel, but i guess they do. But that has to be really new, because I was there last week and it wsnt on.

It isn't new. Far from it.

I hadn't ever heard it on before, either. Strange.

It isn't new, although they did just start playing it again recently.

I actually like the video, I think it's supposed to be cheezy, since most old alien movies are cheezy. When they have the video turned off, the queue line is boring. It gives a story to the ride, and gives you something to ook at or talk about while you are in line.

I think it would bring life to the ride it the Ride OP said In 3 2 1 Goodbye. instead of clear.

Yesterday, the ride op was saying "Goodbye!" when it launched.

But creepy like.

For DT does it have speakers at the top?>

Cause I always wanted to say

Dropping in 10 9 8 7...*drop* when they get to the bottom, 2 1....sorry.

I had never noticed this 'speil' in the station before.

You can never hear it either, with all the clicks and talking. I've never heard the getting off speil about We didn't think you would survive that.

But creepy like.

Drop Tower does have speakers at the top.

First off, I like that video especially the part "Imagine a world..." Second, I thought you were talking about the spiel the alien guy says at the station. They played it more last year and now they play it rarely and very quiet compared to the noisy people. I have listened closley and was able to hear a couple. The first one went something like, "We have enjoyed our visit to your charming little world, but now it's time for you to visit ours." and the other one I'm not to sure on but it was like, "You think you have come to examine us, well then why are you the ones trapped in the seats?" Im not to clear on those. And also last year the alien guy said something at the unloading station that I could only hear a couple words of and I havn't even heard it this year.

This is a link where you can watch a clip of the FOF preshow and the old TR preshow. The clips were scored by a guy named Rob Pottorf.
