Is that a threat?
Pass.
Yes it is. 1978, directed by Ralph Bakshi.
Oh. I thought you were referring to Fellini's
8 1/2 with bonus footage. :)
- Bad. That's what you get at Six Flags, it sucks.
2. Getting rid of Mr. Toads Wild Ride
- Bad. Classic ride, should have stayed.
3. Making a Hunger Games theme park.
- Beyond bad. Seriously, this is a book series about kids killing each other for the enjoyment of the rich. Not exactly happy times here.
4. Making a Hogwarts Express that links two parks.
- Good. I think. It really depends on how this is executed, this could end up being a big mess. But the idea I love.
5, Making a TRON coaster at Epcot
- Bad. Sorry, I love TRON as much as the next guy, but that is just not right for EPCOT.
6. Getting rid of Stitch's Great Escape
- The best idea ever. Seriously, kill this attraction now. I don't care what you put in it's place, it just needs to go away.
7. Giving IOA a night show
- Good. They have a huge lake, they could do something awesome there.
8. Closing Sea World
- Bad. I know people are now against animal performances, but I think Sea World does a great deal of good. Closing it based on 1 rather biased documentary is just overreaction.
9. Making a Lord of the Rings land.
- Bad. I love Lord of the Rings, but no matter how I think of it, I just cannot see this ever happening. It makes no sense.
10. Building a wrestling arena in a theme park
- Uhh, good I guess. I don't really care either way, if it gets people into the park, then it's good. Not something I would attend, but who cares...
11. Disneys Magic Bands
- Good on principle, but needs work. I love the bands themselves (though they do need to improve how well they stay on your arm), but the FP+ system needs improvement.
12. Bringing back the Original Journey to Imagination.
- Bad. EPCOT needs new, not a look back at old.
13. Having a Disney World Thanksgiving event
- Good I guess, I will never be down there for then but why not have a mini-event between Halloween and Christmas.
14, Building a Batman roller coaster
- There are several Batman coasters around, just look at damn near any Six Flags. My local park, Six Flags New England, has a wild mouse coaster named Gotham City Gauntlet: Escape from Arkham Asylum and a B&M floorless coaster named Batman- The Dark Knight. They exist. And, since they are at Six Flags, they range from good to what the hell were they thinking.
15. Making loops in water slides.
- Bad. This just sounds awful, but hey, it might be good. I have not done a water slide in years, so it might be the best thing ever.
2. Getting rid of Mr. Toads Wild Ride
Bad - There's nothing wrong with it, and is a great use of a very very limited space.
3. Making a Hunger Games theme park.
Bad - A land maybe, but an entire park themed arond a single property, nope. No financeer would let a developer put all of their eggs into one basket, especially on an unproven IP.
4. Making a Hogwarts Express that links two parks.
Good - This assumes thatthey have a way to handle guests who don't have 2-park passes OR eliminate single park tickets altogether.
5, Making a TRON coaster at Epcot
Bad - I think it would be cool, but Tron Legacy proved that the property does not posess the appeal to warrant a major stand alone attraction.
6. Getting rid of Stitch's Great Escape
Good - However, that woul be tempered by what it is replaced by. Similar to Mr. Toad, the attraction is a good use of a pretty limited space. Converting back to Alien Encounter or Mission from Mars would be one option, but just putting any generic attraction in there would be a huge mistake.
7. Giving IOA a night show
Bad - They tried it when the park first opened, and it really didn't work. This is not a strength of Unviersal Creative.
8. Closing Sea World
Which one?? Generally bad, but if you had to close one, San Antonio would probably be the one.
9. Making a Lord of the Rings land.
Good, but it depends on where and how it's done.
10. Building a wrestling arena in a theme park
Good - TNA gets a good deal from USF, and USF gets a bump in attendance on Impact nights and use out of an otherwise empty soundstage.
11. Disneys Magic Bands
Good - Though I haven't used them yet. KTTW cards were great, and Magic Bands are an extention of that allow for greater flexibility and expanded features.
12. Bringing back the Oringal Joruney to Imaganation.
Bad - If you're going to update it, update it with new technology, not just a rehash of a campy dark ride.
13. Having a Disney World Thanksgiving event
Bad - Individual restaurants can celebrate Thanksgiving with special meals, but to have a special theme park event is silly. Not only that, it would be a nightmare to pull all of the Halloween decorations to put up Thanksgiving decorations only to pull those down and put up Christmas decorations. November gives the park the entire month to make the transition.
14, Building a Batman roller coaster
Good - There's nothing wrong with the original Batman (or its clones). The Dark Night coasters were a big flop, but there's nothing wrong with using the Caped Crusader as the basis for a roller coaster theme.
15. Making loops in water slides.
Good - They look like a lot of fun, but it's a bit embarssing if you get stuck or are overweight.
And the Dark Knight, the wild mouse version, gets a "Dear God, what have we done?!"
