oysterman Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I agree I would love to see some improvements made to Boo Blasters. I rode it yesterday and while fun, it could be more. I figure we wont get much in 2015 with what we spent on Bashee (I guess I could be wrong, but I'm just basing this off of previous years that I've seen) I think improvements to rides like Boo Blasters and the Action Theater would be a great idea. As long as they maintain them of course. The Guardians ride looks awesome and after going to Disney/Universal this spring I would love something like that.

The Interpreter Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I'd love to go in that building lights on and see actual Crypt stuff. Turn it on and let me see the remains. Speaking of which were there any pics/video of them taking the ride out of the building, that'd be a weird site to see. Or hell being built, never saw construction pics. Negatory on the removal, and installation was done at a time of far less publicity. I don't remember any construction photos. There may be some. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingsislandfan1972 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 We need Scooby Doo back, thats the best solution. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Good Luck with that. He lives at Flags now. I hear he is very happy there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magenta Lizard Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 I finally got a gun that worked on the ride, and scored 2100. Since I was riding alone, though, I didn't have anyone I could lord it over. I did learn that the ride is much more interesting if it actually works. I wish it had a Peanuts theme too, tho. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screaming_Chicken Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 Good Luck with that. He lives at Flags now. I hear he is very happy there. Scooby-Doo! : Mystery of the Scary Swamp at Six Flags St.Louiis is by far the most detailed and well themed of all the Sally Corp Scooby-Doo Dark Rides. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voicetek Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Perhaps they could install something like this: 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XGatorHead 8904 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Perhaps they could install something like this: I'm suddenly flashing back to a Nightmare I had of Garfield once while I was in PA. I'm not sure who would like something like that, but I think Kenny would. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homestar92 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Since we can't get Scooby back for our dark ride, we could theme it to Garfield. Garfield themed dark rides have a history of being well-loved by park goers of all ages. Oh, wait... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screaming_Chicken Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 The Peanuts have so many works for them(Cedar Fair) to pull from ... Great Pumpkin,Joe Cool, Flying Ace etc. It's not hard to do a Dark Ride themed to Peanuts. They could theme it to Snoopy's Dog House...let us enter Snoopy's Dog House they would have to re theme and change up the castle facade..but really we could see what goes on in snoopys dog house or the imagination of snoopy. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Yeah, but if it is to be, hopefully this time they won't try to do it for peanuts. No trademarks were harmed in the making of this post (a paramount concern). 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screaming_Chicken Posted May 27, 2014 Author Share Posted May 27, 2014 I think I noticed some lazy re theme /sound effects on Boo Blasters ...could have sworn I heard bits left over from SDATHC. Anyone else noticed this? I think I heard scooby-doo and shaggy while in the que... weird. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 We need Scooby Doo back, thats the best solution. Scooby is under a different license so the park could get it back under Sally Corp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Screaming_Chicken Posted June 6, 2014 Author Share Posted June 6, 2014 I thought the reason they got rid of the Scooby-Doo theme was because of Snoopy!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dieseltech20 Posted June 6, 2014 Share Posted June 6, 2014 These rides can he improved upon. Got a score of 16000 on a similar style "shoot em up" dark ride this week that was half as long. The ability to see "where" the gun is firing, helps greatly. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ability to see "where" the gun is firing, helps greatly. The Boo Blasters ride at Canada's Wonderland is shorter and, like Kings Island, does not light up a target to indicate where you're aiming. And yet, I had no trouble getting about double the score I normally get at Kings Island. I have a very strong suspicion the issue in this case is not the riders being a poor shot, but the blasters being wonky. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I much prefer Scooby, I think he is the better dog. Just a personal opinion though, I could be wrong. PS: I'm also an artist and have always found his character design to be much more interesting, so I'm probably being biased. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
