teenageninja Posted May 15, 2004 Posted May 15, 2004 I've been telling you all along not to get your hopes up for Days Of Thunder, I work at the ride I think I know better than all of you and DoT is not coming back. I do think Smash Factory was one of the better rides to go in there, I thought it was better than James Bond.
coasterrz Posted May 15, 2004 Posted May 15, 2004 I did not enjoy Smash Factory. It was fun, but I found some of the movements in it to be a little violent and jerky. To each their own though.
DeliriumDreamer Posted May 15, 2004 Posted May 15, 2004 Ugh! I do not like smash factory. I almost barfed on that one, because it was too fast and violent for a motion movie. Anyone who knows me probably knows that I don't do motion movies often, because they make me sick, but I will do really large rides and rollercoasters. Anything that is not a motion movie or a topspin ride, I'll ride.
fyrfyter Posted May 16, 2004 Posted May 16, 2004 its not even an imax, its an omnimax. imax is completely different. Union Terminal is where the museum of natural history is. its a historic building off of I-75 outside of downtown. it used to be a train station, hence the "terminal" part of name. Actually, you are wrong in terms of IMAX and OmnIMAX. They are the same company. Imax has 3 different types of theaters and the OmniMax is one of them. check out their site at www.imax.com if you want to know what is showing where, etc. Union Terminal, is still a train station. Amtrak runs through there at least once daily, and you can go to Chicago via train if you like. amtrak's website has more info on that. Hope this straightens some things up.
DeliriumDreamer Posted May 16, 2004 Posted May 16, 2004 Here's the scoop on CMC(Cincinnati Museum Center): First of all, it would be kind of pointless to have a motion movie based on the migration of animals(if that's what you are talking about) Second, there is a difference between Imax and Omnimax. Movies that are shown at the omnimax at CMC are travelling films. They go from place to place. Remember the Jane Goodall omnimax movie? A few weeks after CMC pulled it, I visited Philadelphia, and it was playing at their natural history museum. CMC is located on Ezzard Charles Drive, a street away from the downtown post office. For info on getting there and what is going on now and later, call 287-7000. I know this because I still work at CMC as well as pki.
PKI Punk Posted May 16, 2004 Posted May 16, 2004 I personally like Smash Factory. It reminded me of Test Track at Disney.
Scooby_Doo Posted May 16, 2004 Posted May 16, 2004 I did not enjoy Smash Factory. It was fun, but I found some of the movements in it to be a little violent and jerky. To each their own though. I agree with you 110%
DeliriumDreamer Posted May 16, 2004 Posted May 16, 2004 You are in a tour caddy with this guy, Bob(I think his name was) and Bob goes crazy, and instead of taking you through this safe tour of this factory, he drives through, over, around, and on top of everything. He demolishes the caddy, you almost get run over by a steam roller, hit a cardboard dog, go up and down ramps, fall off of things, smash through walls, etc. It's just crazy.
teenageninja Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 It's official folks I saw the ride program run (no video and sound) and the ride in side B of Action Theatre is * * * * * * ** * * *** ** * * * * SPOILER WARNING * * * * * * * * * * * Stay tuned, May 29th you'll find out.
Scooby_Doo Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 But thats so far far away! Hmmm seems to be in code....ahhh Iam to lazy I'll wait.
PKI_Diana Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 That's less than 2 weeks away! I'm surprised it's been a secret this long, considering everyone that knows, most sups do, including myself. Oh, well, I promise you'll enjoy it...I like almost everything PKI puts in, except SOB. But yea.
Scooby_Doo Posted May 17, 2004 Posted May 17, 2004 I will enjoy it eh? thanks! I been hearing that Days of Thunder is making a return....But I doubt it.
