Stitch Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 I rode Scooby today and I liked the castle and they did a great job theming wise, but I did not like how they made the queue so small, the line was around the building past the exit and by international st, I also didn't like the guns I shot at the little swirls and nothing really happened : MAYBE I had a defective gun. I wasn't to thrilled to say the least but I love the OnRide PIC! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanner Posted April 12, 2003 Share Posted April 12, 2003 Maybe your aim just stinks! lol 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StXBomber Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Heres a tip. At the MIB ride at Universal Studios Orlando (also a shooting ride) there is a trick. Aim at targets farther away, because the way the lasers are set up, the beam spreads out the farther it goes. I don't know if it is the same with scooby, but there is a good chance it is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKI#1fan Posted April 13, 2003 Share Posted April 13, 2003 Delirium is a thrill ride for thrill seekers. Scooby on the other hand is a ride for relaxing that is my opinon. My score was 70 on scooby. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsislandfan1972 Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 So it seems at this time people liked the Scooby theming, then in 2010, I'm sure these people were very disappointed when the Scooby theming was removed and replaced with "Booficer". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SonofBaconator Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I'm sure more people were disappointed when the Phantom Theater theming was removed and replaced with "Scooby." 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calakapepe Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 With the change-over to scooby... we lost a whole lot more, scooby to boo... i was disappointed, but I didnt feel like I lost as much.. so I ultimately didnt care that much 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you, Phantom Theater was a classic ride, I was just saying that more people prefer Scooby-Doo over Boo Blasters and more people would agree that Phantom Theater was best overall. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creed Bratton Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 Holy thread bump again! Â I much prefer Scooby to Boo Blasters....but I'd much rather have Phantom Theater. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaestroJr Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 I think that when Phantom was removed it was so the park could get rid of the massive expenses of Phantom. They went the cheap way with Scooby in 2003 and has been deteriorating ever since. I loved Scooby as a kid as I did Phantom and I do think that when Phantom was changed, it was a much more disappointing change then Boo Blasters from Scooby. Scooby and Boo are almost identical and never will reach the level of Phantom Theater. MaestroJr  3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voicetek Posted February 17, 2017 Share Posted February 17, 2017 Yes, Scooby Doo was a downgrade from Phantom Theater as its approach was to minimize the theming and make it simpler (and cheaper?) to maintain. However, even though Scooby Doo and Boo Blasters are almost identical, Boo Blasters comes across as way worse because of it's total lack of a recognizable theme, and a story/plot that is almost non-existent. Even though the props and theming within Scooby Doo was simpler, at least it had some appeal with it's recognizable characters and story. I think this helped to create some kind of connection between the ride and the rider. In my opinion, there is no connection that exists today. Everything is so scaled back and "generic" that, for me anyway, there is nothing that excites me or appeals to me about riding the ride except the fact that it's KI's only dark ride. That's it. Here's hoping something is done to improve that space very, VERY soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WWC2003Amy Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 We just rode Boo Blasters on boo hill. This ride feels very tired. No ride sound, Blasters barely work, ride was very squeaky. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bjcolglazier Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Every time my wife says, "my gun doesn't work!" I give her mine, and take hers...and then light up the scoreboard! I can't remember the last time I had a gun that "didn't work". Granted...it could happen. I guess...lol. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never actually had a non-functional blaster. I think the people that complain about that just don't know how to aim or are terrible at aiming, which in some cases may come down to not knowing how to hold the blaster properly for the most accurate aim (it's the same concept as holding a handgun, if you've ever taken a gun safety course or concealed carry course, just without the recoil). 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 I did notice the last handful of times I rode this year that when I would shoot a target, often it would respond in the way it always does when hit (light goes off, it moves however is usual for that target) but my score wouldn't go up. My gun was working but something was wrong in the system. I rode enough earlier in the season to know what was a typical score for me, that decreased by about a third on average after whatever changed and I noticed hit targets not scoring. I really hope it gets some love if it isn't going to be replaced. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't recall music in the current version. I know there's sound effects and voices.  I will say this year has been one of the best years for Boo Blasters in terms of working consistently. The balding man that used to be Shaggy always was running in circles everytime I went in (which had been a problem in the past). Two weekends ago I scored 1380. Which is above the highest ranking (can't think of the title). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MDMC01 Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 That is correct. I know this because during my ride for Closing Day, I saw that I got "Blaster Wannabe" as I actually shot something (something I haven't done in quite a while as I treat it like a regular dark ride) and netted myself 30 points. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saerenzea Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 My wife also complains (every.... Single.... Time...) about her blaster not working. I've come to the conclusion that it's just her. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voicetek Posted October 31, 2017 Share Posted October 31, 2017 I can confidently say I've had guns (blasters) that didn't work. I've ridden this ride every single season since it was converted to a blaster-type ride as Scooby-Doo. I can usually rack up a pretty high score, however, there are times when I can shoot at everything and nothing happens. The props don't respond and no points are added to my score. It's not that I don't know what I'm doing or that I don't know how to aim, believe me. There have been times that I've tried every single gun in the car and can't get anything to work. Perhaps it's just a problem with the system and not with the blasters themselves. Regardless, I can confidently say that there is the occasional ride where nothing seems to work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KIBeast Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 Just my opinion, but I far preferred the Enchanted Voyage over anything that has been in that building. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LongLiveTheSmurfRide Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 There was a ride in that spot that I liked a lot, but I can't remember the name now. Dang it! I'll get back to you. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlondyRidesOn Posted November 6, 2017 Share Posted November 6, 2017 It would be cool to see a Peanuts themed version of the Enchanted Voyage in that building. It would be cool to see an animatronic snail at the beginning greeting guests when the ride begins. Unless, of course, the rights to the snail belong to Hanna-Barbera.

Joshua Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 I could see an Enchanted Voyage that takes you through the various Peanut specials. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
