Jasper Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I think Tomb Raider because of all the caverns you have to walk through it is really neat to look at from the outside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejoker8388 Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Without a doubt I'd have to say Vortex, I mean the themeing is absoluetly world class, Disney dosen't have anything even close to comparing as far as the amount of themeing is concered. In reality I'd also have to say TR:TR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 TR:TR definently has the best theming, just wait tilla ll the trees grow in and you cant see the big building, people will really wonder what its like just seeing some random cave.

Admiral Ackbar Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Without a doubt I'd have to say Vortex, I mean the themeing is absoluetly world class, Disney dosen't have anything even close to comparing as far as the amount of themeing is concered. In reality I'd also have to say TR:TR Vortex does indeed have a story... The theming could be better to convey this story however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted May 19, 2005 Author Share Posted May 19, 2005 The Vortex has a story? What is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 TR:TR by far some of those things on there dont even have any theming like The Racer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Seed Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 TRTR definitely has the best theming (even though its story is extremely confusing to your average guest), followed by FoF, which does have the best, if slightly odd and corny, story. Italian Job has some great effects, but the ride has no real story behind it, so it's going to have to take third place. Top Gun would be sitting on fourth place if it still had all of the aircraft carrier theming, but since it doesn't, it's moved down to seventh place in my opinion. Fourth place now belongs to SDatHC. That ride truly makes you feel like you're in the cartoon that was so repetitious in its formula that there was no conceivable reason why it should have succeeded so well with viewers. Fifth and sixth place are nearly a tie with Beast and SoB. Both have the similar implied theme of being chased out in the wilderness by the original/offspring creature. Beast gets fifth, though, thanks to its cool station design. Reptar takes eighth, despite the fact that I thought that particular episode of Rugrats sucked. How do you make a satire of Godzilla not funny? I'm sticking to the list, but if Wild Thornberries River Adventure was on it, it would be placed right before Reptar. Ninth is Drop Zone with its skydiving theme. Tenth and eleventh are also pretty much a tie with Vortex and Racer. Neither one really has a theme. Vortex will take tenth, though, because of its VERY lightly implied theme of twisting and turning out of a giant robot's grip, which is only based on its old logo. Finally, Face/Off takes last place because of its disappointing zero theming. It takes the name of a Paramount movie, and a good one in my opinion, and does nothing with it; not even a poster from the movie like what Top Gun does. All it does is play on the words with its seating arrangement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holeinone888221 Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 This is a no contest...TR:TR. (You have The Racer {not Racers} on there twice.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jasper Posted May 19, 2005 Author Share Posted May 19, 2005 My bad i didnt mean to put them twice. They sahould have themed The Vortex better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docdude316 Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 I'd probably have to go with a tie between Scooby and TR:TR. Although AE has some decent theming to it as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delirium13 Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 My bad i didnt mean to put them twice. They sahould have themed The Vortex better. Vortex was put in a long time before Paramount bought the park so that's why it is not themed that well. I don't think they thought much about theming it.

UCcatguy52 Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 Im gunna have to go with the crowd on this one and say TR:TR because the caverns actually make you think that you are walking through a temple. Also, the figures from the movie in the preshow room are amazing and the statue that holds part of the triangle from the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PKIbabe89 Posted May 20, 2005 Share Posted May 20, 2005 I think Tomb Raider has a nice set for the line. It kind of entertains us while waiting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vortex Posted May 21, 2005 Share Posted May 21, 2005 I will have to go with The Beast line has a mine theme. At one time it had water time. The train is not on the Best theme. So for the ride with the best theme had to be the train with the old wild west theme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jasper Posted May 21, 2005 Author Share Posted May 21, 2005 Whenever you go go around the turn and are about to head up the hill thuere is what looks like an old mine entrance and a mine car there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

italianchef Posted July 24, 2005 Share Posted July 24, 2005 I voted for Tomb Raider because, to my knowledge, it is the only ride at PKI with actual props from the actual movie!!!! Have a great day! Italian Chef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

screamingnight Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I have to say Flgit Of Fear because it does not show any of th etrack except for the launching area! Also The Beast because it like warns you by all the signs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moore Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 I voted for Tomb Raider because, to my knowledge, it is the only ride at PKI with actual props from the actual movie!!!! Have a great day! Italian Chef What props are from the movie? I was torn between IJ and TR. I chose TR though b/c I feel that the overall ride is themed better and the line is themed much better than IJ's.
