RevengeofTheSmurfs Posted March 19, 2005 Share Posted March 19, 2005 On rumor I heard was that the Addams Family rolercoaster (a vertical drop) was supposed to be built this year at PCW but was halted or delyed due to license issues (i guess for the name), that is why both PKI and PCW got IT:ST. The ride does sound wicked though I heard something like that but I read that PCW wanted to put it near the parks landmark mountain and have some of the coaster inside that mountain but plans were halted due to issues and thats why PKI and PCW went with IJ:ST because they were working on getting the rights to the addams... I guess paramount only had the rights to use the name and didnt have any rights to make a theme park attraction BUT I hear now paramount has gotten ahold of the rights and now are able to have theme park attractions featuring the addams family and someone told me that PKD's big attraction coaster will be The Addams Family I hear the attraction is in the design phase and will be a one of a kind ride.

KIBeast Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 ^Plus, the Addams Family is an enduring movie/tv show. Years from now, people will still know who the Addams Family is unlike the Italian Job. I'm not knocking the coaster or movie, but it is not one of the movies that people are going to watch over and over and still remember it years from now.

King Bowser Posted March 21, 2005 Share Posted March 21, 2005 I agree with you there PKIbeast people know em and love em I like many and most of you wanna see an addams family ride/show at pki. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 I could see a ride with a preshow with live people or something. They could make the show like Bettle Juice at Universal Studios that was pretty sweet. I don' t understand why PKI doesnt have more shows based on some of thier movies.

King Bowser Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 ^I can see Paramount parks getting a themed addams attraction soon like you flightoffear1996 I as well can see a preshow with people dressed up..just like at disney world's haunted mansion and tower of terror.

Smurfs Enchanted Voyage Posted March 22, 2005 Share Posted March 22, 2005 So this is going to be a wild mouse coaster/dark ride??? I can see this ride going in Rivertown or maybe behind FOF! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted March 22, 2005 Author Share Posted March 22, 2005 I guess this ride could be a wild mouse it seems to work best with the theme unless you like dive-machines but I hear dive machines are a one trick pony and dont get you coming back I can see this attraction being placed where the pond is in RT ( maybe tear down wings and use that land and the land behind wings no one uses the picnic area behind wings any way?!?)because of the addams family swamp is next to the family graveyard again I hope to see paramount add this to there parks I hope by 2006 or 2007.

Scooby_Doo Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 Question for all do you guys think SuperSonic could be themed to the addams family? and that dive machine could be themed to the core? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moore Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 whats the question???? edit: is it do you think they could be themed to that??? are you refering to the supersonic in the survey thing from PKI??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 Iam asking do you all think the addams family could be themed to supersonic that was in the survey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moore Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 i already took it....i at first thought you meant that one of the questions in the survey was to theme supersonic to the adams family...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 Oh no..I was just saying that supersonic theme to the addams would be really sweet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moore Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I really hope they don't re-theme FoF b/c I like its current theme (even though the movie that plays in the waiting line is corny). I hope PKI spends there money on a new ride altogher, like an Adams' Family themed Shockmave. My only suggestion in the survey was to make it have more "flying elements." The whole ride was a "lay-down" ride. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 I think a EURO-FIGHTER or Wildmouse would work better for an Addams Family attraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I think if they re-theme FOF it will be to star trek, something iwth the boarg probably, because it already has some good space/futuristic theming in there. If Adams Family comes it is suspected that most likely it will be a vertical drop coaster. Remember reading about dropping straight out of the attic into the graveyard? A vertical drop would work perfect there. I could see KI do something record breaking and make a new type of vertical drop coaster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 I agree with you about PKI making a one of a kind record breaking coaster but FOF retheme should rethemed to Soundwave because of CM I mean star trek is fine and I always thought Brog was a PCar attraction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 Borg Assimilator is a PC attraction but being that FOF is indoors it would be easy to re-theme it to the borg space ship from star trek. It would be very exciting too. I wouldnt count on soundwave coming to and Paramount Park. If they want to be family parks they will not associate with and MTV themed ride. Not after mtv planned the super bowl show where The Jane Jackson slip happened. MTV is not family oriented and just ask anyone who knows real music.....mtv sucks. MTV doesnt even play movie. And CM? IF your referring to CMT )country music televison) They wont do that. How exciting is a coaster put to country music? No offense to country listeners but thats not the music you put to a coaster, you put shredding guitar solos and powerful drums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby_Doo Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 Very much true MTV sucks..but on the last survey it had Soundwave and no MTV logo anywhere I guess MTV was dropped and its just soundwave now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 ^^ True but I dont know an FOF re-theme fo soundwave doesnt sound that cool. It would be all viacom sponsered artists and it would be whats considered "popular" music. So this probably means hip hop, pop, or some half assed sell out mainstream rock band. Remember the tagline ont he kI website "The best of hollywood entertainment now playing" and "Another holywood attraction comes to life at PKI!". A fof re-theme to star trek would be cool and inexpensive since its already in a building. Just add some more lights and effects. Although Im definently hoping for an Adams Family themed coaster!

Scooby_Doo Posted March 24, 2005 Author Share Posted March 24, 2005 Yeah I rather have Star Trek than anything with Hip-hop..sorry that music just isnt for me..the punk rocker/goth crowd.I too am hoping the addams does happen Soooon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moore Posted March 24, 2005 Share Posted March 24, 2005 I don't see Paramounts using and MTV theme either. A lot of my friends' parents cancled MTV b/c it's so bad. I'm definitly not a star treck and I hope PKI doesn't theme FOF to it. What's wrong with its current theme? I think it's great. If Adams Family comes it is suspected that most likely it will be a vertical drop coaster. Remember reading about dropping straight out of the attic into the graveyard? A vertical drop would work perfect there. I could see KI do something record breaking and make a new type of vertical drop coaster. I hadn't heard that plan until now and I think it sounds great. I just wish they would put a B&M inverted in the park but not neccisarilly themed to Top Gun. If they put in Top Gun: Jet Coaster, is it gonna be the same as the one at ??is it Carowinds??. The design they described it as sounded like it....I hope not though. I think they should re-design it to fit in hills where Top Gun is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefall Pkd Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 I don't see Paramounts using and MTV theme either. A lot of my friends' parents cancled MTV b/c it's so bad. I'm definitly not a star treck and I hope PKI doesn't theme FOF to it. What's wrong with its current theme? I think it's great. They removed the MTV part of the ride and it is just Soundwave, the rock and roll coaster. It will play current (and I guess the best) rock and roll music, so Scooby Doo you don't have to worry about that Hippity Hoppity Crappity music coming to any fof ride This is strictly from observation and after readying nearly all of this topic: it seems to me that alot of people think that PKI will add this coaster, like next year. What happened to IJST? It's not even open yet, have people already forgotten about it? I really don't see somthing like this so soon right after IJST since they are both highly themed roller coasters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Current and best rock music? Ugh it will probably be that mainstream garbage they play today. As for an FOF re-theme the only reason it would probably be re-themed is because it isnt themed to anything paramount. Paramounts show "The outer limits" was cancelled. So now the ride is jsut "Flight of Fear" not "the outer limits: Flight of Fear". Its got a great theme right now though. Id like to see it be something X-files but I dont think paramount owns that. No, we havent forgotten about IJST......were just looking into the future. I think PKI is gonna get Adams Family but it will have some crazy record breaking twist and PKD is gonna end up with Top Gun: Supersonic because they dont have a top gun themed ride........which will be great! A flying see saw coaster! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Firefall Pkd Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 I think if they do re-theme the FoFs... I think they should find a movie as close to the alien theme as much as possible. HEY! War of the Worlds is coming out this summer, and it's also a Paramount movie, and it has aliens, and its close to the fof theme already, and they should just use that, and that was a mojor over-use of "and". I mean everyone, or at these alot that I know, are all looking forward to this movie so it has to be good and could make an excelent use of theming for this ride which could still retain much of its original glory. As for the Supersonic thing, yeah I think that would be a cool ride to get. Although if you really look at the concept art it's not a flying coaster at all so I have no idea why they are using the Stealth art. Probably just because they are both Vekoma, they're the only ones who would make a tilting coaster as of right now. As much as I don't really care to see it, I can really see this Adams Family being stuck right where our Blue Ridge Tollway antique cars are right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted March 26, 2005 Share Posted March 26, 2005 Thats a great point PKDfirefall! War of the worlds would be an excellent way to re-theme FOF! (Not to mention less costly!) I would love to see them re-themed to that or something star strek. Yes, the Supersonic thing is suspended/flying coaster if you look closely at the concept art you can see its suspended track. (id paste in the picture but your not allowed) Plus if youre theming it after Top Gun it would make more sense to have it suspended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
