italianchef Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I think that FoF should have a new theme and a new film. Instead of aliens on Earth, how about a Star Trek Theme? Have a great day! Italian Chef Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoastersRZ Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I personnaly like the theme on FoF. It is a relativly good idea. It is unique and not commercialized like the rest of the park is becoming. In fact when it was called Outer Limits: Flight of Fear, the tie in was only with a couple lines in the preshow. It is one of the few rides that I can think of that actually lost the branding that the ride was named after, in part because the branding was not a huge emphasis of the theme.

Reclaimer Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I like a Star Trek idea.... ...otherwise, no change of theme, just better upkeep Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King Bowser Posted August 15, 2005 Share Posted August 15, 2005 I think the theme needs to go it's boring now I'd love to see a new theme take it over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moore Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I like the current FoF theme. I wouldn't mind an updated look or a retheme (as long as it is still sci-fi). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Id like a more current theme, such as Star Trek with the borg, but I never ever want to see Soundwave! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flightoffear1996 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I really like how the ride is themed now. I mean the theming could use some updates and what not but just keep the same idea. The ride is almost 10 years old and still will get a 45 minute plus line even on slow days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear Soundwave did really well on the paramount surveys I think we will see it I dont know when but ... I think we will see it in the near future.

Gulliversrubadub Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I say leave it as it is, however, I would like to see some new updated theming such as newer equipment just before you enter the space ship. I like it the way it is but make it more futuristic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I would not mind if was re-themed, but, what does bother me is that themeing costs some big bucks, and PKI lets the themeing of rides go into the toilet. If they want to make the decision and not keep up with the themeing, ok, but stop paying $$ for it in the first place and use the extra cash for other improvments to the park, or, give the guests a price break on the tickets. (Yes, I know THAT will never happen.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandPoobah Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 KI has also recently taken to designing attractions that rely on theming to deliver a large part of the experience (i.e. IJ, TRTR, Scooby Doo and the Haunted Castle, Boomerang Bay). If they're going to continue to do this, the maintenance of the theming had better be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where did you hear this from, do you have any of the results? Soundwave would be garbage, I cant even listen to the radio anymore because the musics so bad these days.

Captain Nemo Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Anything that is in the dark scares people because it creates a feeling of... fear. Not knowing where the heck you are or where your going scares people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOF/Z 4-ever Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I think they shld keep the theme it is. It will be really really hard to re-theme that ride imo. I like they way it is and they shld keep it, just up keep it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alien Seed Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I think they should leave the theme alone. Not just because I already love this theme, but because all of PKI's recent attempts at theming fall apart in a matter of months. FOF's theming, through the miracle of heaven it seems, has lasted 10 years now, while IJST's has been all but destroyed in less than 4 months. If PKI were to replace all the theming on FOF, you know as well as I do that it would be cheap and easily breakable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Braves0511 Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I like how it is now. one thing that would be cool would be to convert the flying saucer into one of those gravitron round up rides that come to county fairs. I know it would never work but it's still a nifty idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HomerJay Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I say keep the theming as is. FoF is one of those wonderful rides that has become a classic and screwing with the theming would take away from that. Although, the ride itself would be pretty darn hard to screw up. If they do anything, they should film a new pre-show. The one they have now is too short and I have to sit through it like five times in line.

FOF/Z 4-ever Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 You sat thru it 5 times? I think time was suppose to repeat itself and you only saw it once Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Browntggrr Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 FoF is one of those wonderful rides that has become a classic and screwing with the theming would take away from that. The Beast is a classic ride. Racer is a classic ride, and there has been significant changes to both rides. FoF is a cookie-cutter that other parks have, therefor not a classic.

Beast Freak Posted August 17, 2005 Share Posted August 17, 2005 Agree why not fix the themeing on the rides that truely need ( the ones that are just totaly falling apart look at adventure ex our favoret gods dont even work or bairley work so fix the rides that truely need it or the rides that have no line so you can bring the ride back to its former glory Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
