Akbar's Adventure Tours

[Writing Rides]

Can anyone provide a POV of Akbar's? I have been looking to do a history deep dive on this for awhile. Also, preshow vids would be nice! Just curious since no one has posted here for 6 years-ish if anything had turned up.

It was honestly a great ride...I'd love to see the film again

There are some pre-show links on YouTube, and a POV of Questor

I'm sure you've seen those already though

I believe Questor was also at BGW for a time.

Yes it was, and then I believe Crokscrew Hill was after

Not sure if Akbar ever made it to another park...I don't believe so

Shame, it was a creative and fun attraction

From what I can tell, Akbar was a BGT exclusive. So little info available, can't even find a transcript. A very odd duck, with an ANIMATRONIC in a Busch ride, near unheard of. Also, they were doing mismatched seats themeing even before Three Broomsticks!

I remember a brief synopsus of the ride, but that's about it haha

Yes on Corkscrew Hill, which was pretty good, but quite rough. I don't recall Akbar though.

Any pictures/footage of the mummy AA?

Questor >>> Akbar and it’s not even close

I never rode Questor

But I do remember Akbar being really fun and crazy

I almost certainly rode Akbar's Adventure Tours at some point, but I was so young at the time I have no memory of it, so I would also appreciate a video of it. I don't know what's left of the ride at this point, but I'd really like to see something like Battle for Eire (which is at BGW and uses the same simulators from Questor), but with an Egyptian theme, using that building. Seems like a relatively inexpensive way to give the park an indoor family ride, something BGT is nearly alone in not having.
