CoasterOhio Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 Hey guys I've been wondering They've been playing the same short movie in the line of Flight of Fear since it opened I've had my mind on it all day so far to be wondering. Should they do a new video in HD? I for one say they should. Quote
BeastForever Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 I polled no, but I do think it would be cool if they added some more thematic lights and elements in the spaghetti bowl. Although isn't that what we wanted for The Crypt? But we knew that was never going to happen. Quote
TheCrypt Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 Actually, if it were still operational, I'm sure we would have seen a few more lights added as it progressed. But that stopped in approximately February. I think the amount of lights we have right now is great. Our UFO (on the outside) looks hideous with the red lights and such. I want our 2011 UFO back!

A.S.Coasters Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 I think everything about FoF is fine, but I don't want any new queue videos. Keep it retro. 2 Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 I wish it could go back to it's former glory (Black Out effects, power surges, ect) but sadly people cannot act improperly so...no more of those 2 Quote
Titan Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 I honestly don't really care. I barely even ride Flight of Fear anymore. 1 Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 ...why not? It's a wonderful ride. You should ride it. You should be forced to ride it... 6 Quote
CoasterOhio Posted August 7, 2012 Author Posted August 7, 2012 It's probably due to the line. when I was there yesterday the line moved VERY slowly then it usually does It would take at least a minute before the train actually took off. And that line is TERRIBLE to be in on a Saturday day at Kings Island. Quote
Titan Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 Either the line is too long, or the ride wasn't open. Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 I see....Well still. It's a lovely ride! Plus, I'd wait to get out of the heat at least! Quote
CoasterOhio Posted August 7, 2012 Author Posted August 7, 2012 I will agree with you all I really do love the Video but I think It's being outdated from everything in the park I think they should refresh everything since Cedar Fair kind of like everything to be originally how it was but I think the lighting dynamic I would like to see changed. Quote
TheCrypt Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 ^Why would you like the lights to be changed? The current ones pointed towards the UFO aren't the best, but they aren't the worst. The lights are fine the way they are, I guess. Also, would you mind explaining to me how the video is outdated? Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 Well by CF standards we are lucky we have a hanger, Video, lights ect... be careful what you wish for... 4 Quote
jdawg1998 Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 Well I said yes...just update it..not make it different, just re-do it. It's getting outdaded, and I honeslty have no clue what's going on during it. 3 Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 (tongue and cheek) WELL, a UFO crash landed in a rural area of Cincinnati Ohio. Some believe that it's just a publicity stunt put on by a local amusement park! Government Officials have been deciding what to do with the space ship. One crazy Executive thought'd it'd be great to start the UFO and let tourists in the ride. Suddenly the Computer comes to life telling us that we can go to a place where there is no pain, aging or anything. As guests enter the UFO, it comes to life and takes off for it's home planet. Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 7, 2012 Posted August 7, 2012 I wish it could go back to it's former glory (Black Out effects, power surges, ect) but sadly people cannot act improperly so...no more of those Actually, some people can act improperly. That was the problem. 1 Quote

BeastForever Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 I just wish the line FOF wouldn't move so SLOW. It evens moves slower now especially with Fast Lane. If each train on FOF only fits 20 riders to begin with, it makes it worse when for each of those trains to have 5 or 6 Fast Laners. That cuts the hourly capcity of the ride a ton! Quote
TheCrypt Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 And the same can't be said of Invertigo, Firehawk, or Backlot Stunt Coaster? Quote
BeastForever Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 ^Oh yes, it can. It's just I'm not talking about those rides right now. 2 Quote
TheCrypt Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 I'd like to vote for no video at all. How could you live without great quotes such as "Hatchbay, check the media feed now!" "Very funny, Major. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame me." "We don't know if this thing is false or genuine. We haven't completed our testing yet. Diiiiiick." 1 Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 And they weren't EVEN referring to Mr. Kinzel. Precognition? 1 Quote
LongliveKingsCobra Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 Don't forget: "THERE ARE CIVILIANS IN THE HANGER!!!" **Cut to feed of Civilians in the hanger...awkward moment: no humans in sight** 5 Quote
TheCrypt Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 Does the preshow play at Kings Dominion? Plus, what happened to the scaffolding with the satirical lighting in the middle of the indoor queue? Does it just sit there in the midst of a Haunt, or was it taken down? (talking about Kings Dominion) And I already know the status of the on ride soundtrack; scream-o. Joy. EDIT: Stupid auto-correct. I meant theatrical ligting. Officially tuning auto-correct off... Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 Satirical lighting? Theatrical ligting? --Curious Terpy 2 Quote
Sonofbeast2.0 Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 Revamp the preshow into an HD video and put in modern tech. If a new preshow was to be made have a movie company come and help with it. Even if it is remade by Parmount. I see more room for improvement for this great ride. Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 8, 2012 Posted August 8, 2012 VIACOM, jealous of what CBS wrung from Cedar Fair, doubtless would want an arm and three legs. Quote
