PhantomTheater Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 It and Express are in my opinion the last "themed" rides in the park. I believe the "Totally immersive, heavily themed, dark ride experience" was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPGUN1993 Posted January 16, 2013 Author Share Posted January 16, 2013 If your referencing "Tomb Raider The Ride / The Crypt" that ride is long gone."Heavily Themed, Totally Immersive, Dark Ride Adventure!" 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhantomTheater Posted January 16, 2013 Share Posted January 16, 2013 My bad Topgun1993, didn't read correctly that you were referring to operating rides. Then yes, you are correct. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest rcfreak339 Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Jeez, I have never seen the building in it's former state...but dang, it was beautiful! Compare that to Hank's today and it's pretty mediocre. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Same for me, that is a first of seeing that building as it used to be. I never actually remember it looking like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Nemo Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Jeez, I have never seen the building in it's former state...but dang, it was beautiful! Compare that to Hank's today and it's pretty mediocre. I seems to be a reoccurring theme, everything at the park today is pretty mediocre when compared to its original/former state. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lopan Posted January 17, 2013 Share Posted January 17, 2013 Photo #14 Lets see if anyone can guess what this is from, before I explain the photo. Funny part is i know exactly what that "capsule" is cause my parents have one in their back yard- its a pool filter minus the pump :-) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voicetek Posted January 21, 2013 Share Posted January 21, 2013 Gosh I loved the trams when I was younger and I loved trying to remember which "cartoon character" row we parked in. Scooby Doo row 3, Fred Flinstone row 4, Huckleberry Hound row 5...ahhh, those were the days! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medford Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 ^ Why does everyone assume Don does everything? He's a great guy, but jeez. Probably b/c he's the only one that we know for sure reads this forum and responds back that has connections to the higherups in the park. I doubt anyone assumes Don does everything, but everyone assumes he knows somebody who handles all the various aspects w/n the park. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
