Italian Job 2005 Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 So I haven't seen Flight of Fear's ride photo booth operating this year yet. And they seem to have removed Boo Blaster's photo booth completely. Any idea as to why they removed on-ride photos for these two rides? They're both indoor rides... It also removed two ride photos that could have been eligible for that all day photo pass for $29.99. Quote
tuxedoman52 Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Flight of Fear on ride photo hasn't been operating for a long time now as far as I know. 1 Quote
Guest dtk1376 Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Boo Blasters booth has been removed completely all year. It doesn't do the flash anymore when you shoot the target at the beginning either. I'd imagine the reason would be because nobody was buying them. 1 Quote
purdude86 Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 That;s what I'd figure too. Flight of Fear hasn't worked for awhile and Boo Blasters would only be open on busy days and even then no one was buying photos hardly. I'd rarely ever even see anyone looking at their photo. Whereas at the other end of Planet Snoopy RFYLCB usually has a line for the photos. Quote
Italian Job 2005 Posted August 11, 2014 Author Posted August 11, 2014 It makes me sad because on Boo Blasters that was truly the only ride Me and my friends could make whatever face we wanted to easily. On all the other rides and roller coasters it isn't as easy to get exactly the picture you want cause you is moving so fast. Quote

purdude86 Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Yea I do miss making stupid poses for the camera on it but have gotten used to it not being there now. Probably would never have bought a pic from it anyhow. We still manage to get some good shots and poses on many of the other rides though. Quote
kingsislandfan1972 Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 Also has anybody else noticed that there is no music when you walk in Boo Blasters like there was in previous years, and also I noticed that they are not selling the 3D glasses anymore, and some other things, have been removed from the ride too, as I have noticed.

Italian Job 2005 Posted August 12, 2014 Author Posted August 12, 2014 The music removed is due to the fact that they have added FunTVs inside the building in the queue area. They replaced it with FunTV's audio. I guess they weren't making enough money from the 3D glasses, although I suppose if you had a pair from previous years they would still work on the ride. I have noticed that the ghosts that used to pop up and down on the wall where the organ used to be have been removed. Quote
shark6495 Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 I saw a ride op selling 3D glasses earlier this season. Usually only on very busy days. Quote
Guest dtk1376 Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 I don't get the music being removed for FunTV, you can't even hear what the TV is playing because it is so loud with everyone talking over each other. 5 Quote
blue171717 Posted August 12, 2014 Posted August 12, 2014 I saw a ride op selling 3D glasses earlier this season. Usually only on very busy days. I have seen them selling the 3D glasses two times as well.... both times on Saturdays. Quote

I have seen them selling the 3D glasses two times as well.... both times on Saturdays. Must have been earlier in the season, as the sign for the glasses has even been taken down. And as far as the ghosts I'm sure they are still up there just no longer turned on. Quote
The Interpreter Posted August 13, 2014 Posted August 13, 2014 Nothing quite as sad as a ghost that is not turned on. Terp...he'll be here all week, folks! 1 Quote

GODZILLA2877 Posted August 14, 2014 Posted August 14, 2014 The camera for Flight of Fear is completely gone. Just look behind the curtain. It's empty. 2 Quote
Italian Job 2005 Posted August 15, 2014 Author Posted August 15, 2014 I don't understand why they would remove this ride photo. I mean, I feel someone would be just as likely to buy a Firehawk photo as they would be to buy a Flight of Fear photo. Maybe for different reasons, but still likely to buy both. Quote
PKIVortex Posted August 15, 2014 Posted August 15, 2014 They removed them for poor sales. Why keep something operating if its not worth it? 3 Quote
