It has now been confirmed that Days Of Thunder will be playing in the side B of Action F/X Theatre. The park has even installed a nice new sign for the ride too.

When happen and is it going to be the same thing or a 3d one. I think a 3D theater would be kinda of cool

Side B does not have the Iwerks 870 3D projector. I believe B only shows 2D shows.

That is great news!

Thanks Dan.

I have not seen it, was it 3D when they had it before?

No it was not.

This is awsome news I always love Days of Thunder So Spongebob and Days of Thunder are playing at the Action Fx theater Awsome!

I Remember while your riding your in the Pits And your seats jiggle up and down like crazy

Woot! This makes my day. Days Of Thunder has always been my favorite movie in Action F/X Theater. The James Bond one was ok, but DoT is still the best.

And yes, Coney_man, the pits rule.

^ Agreed

I must ride this! when does it start?

My fiance never experienced DoT. I'll have to make sure that we go. When does it start?

freakin awesome! i'm pumped.... its been way too long and i'vealways missed that ride.... maybe this will start a trend and perhaps 007 will return next year? maybe make some kind of rotation or something? That would be sweeeeet!

I liked Days of Thunder when it was playing so I am glad that it has returned. I see this also as a chance for PKI to bring it in line with the "ride the movies" theme that seems to be the center of their marketing campaign.

So, when does it start!

That's all fine and dandy, but I wish they'd return James Bond: License to Thrill. That rocked!

^ I'm willing to say that they intend to next year. It looks like they're going to cycle their FX rides on the B-Side like how Disney cycles their releases every 7 years or whatever.

that's a good idea to make changes every year cycling through different films, glad to hear Days of Thunder returns!

That's all fine and dandy, but I wish they'd return James Bond: License to Thrill. That rocked!

Agreed. I have a feeling we'll be seeing it next season.

A reliable source tells me that DOT will be making its return this Saturday

This is groovy news but I always wondered how can a James Bond film play in a Paramount park? Because Bond is a MGM property....

They had a License to be able to Use the James Bond name. Remember Outer Limits was also not a Paramount name, as the name was licensed to the park to use. That is why the ride is just called Fight of Fear now, i'm not sure on who's part, but for some reason the license was not re-newd for Outer Limits.

They can do this because Iwerks SimEx has the rights to use MGM's 007 name.

This may be a stupid question but the movies shown in FX Theater are they movies that you have to thread through a projector or how does that work. I mean I work at a movie theater and I work as a projectionist sometimes so I know that a projector can be threaded in a minute or less but wouldn't it get a little tiresome for the projectionist. Someone enlighten me.

FX Theater uses a digital projector

I wonder if we will ever see Nicktoons 4D? But DOT is the king!

cool thanks. glad we don't use digital projectors, that would put me out of a job.

FX Theater uses a digital projector

A theater of that size could not use a digital projector unless it was unbelievably huge and expensive. Both sides use a continuous Linear Loop projector. Side B uses an Iwerks 870, Side A uses an Iwerks 870 3D.

/me thwaps himself, oops!

Days of Thunder is cool and all but James Bond was really cool.
