Haunted mansion and Nemo is probably a better comparisonIt really is shocking how Kong and F&F use the same ride type and 360 screen but one ride is so much better than the other.
The differences between Spiderman and Transformers aren't even this bad.
Originally, my idea on how to "fix" this attraction was to retheme it to Ms. Frizzle's Magic School Bus. The ride system works as it's a bus and in the 360 room they could do stuff like fly up someone's nose or fly off into space. I still think it would work and the kiddies would love it. But I think I have a better idea.
Summer of Love featuring The Grateful Dead.
Ok, The Grateful Dead is from the Haight/Ashbury area of San Francisco. They were basically the house band for The Summer of Love (1967) in Golden Gate Park. They also used to travel around on Ken Kessy's bus named Further which is actually at The Smithsonian now.
So repaint the busses to look like ^^^. Retheme the alley to the Haight and Ashbury district.
Have the "party scene" be a Grateful Dead Concert with hippies dancing to the song Truckin'. Which is the encore. Then have the bus pull into the 360 scene playing animation that looks like the video below (start at 2:40) playing a compilation mix of dead tunes.
The exit shop could be filled with Grateful Dead and other Woodstock alum merch.
Done. Thank you, where do I pick up my check?
Nah, BYOA.Party favors at the door?
*looks around*It will surely take the greatest minds at UC to come up with a fix using what they have to work with.
Good IDEA. ...and solution. That's even a stronger IP than F&F. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:...now all you need is for the UC people to read the Forum today...They've posted Teebin's stuff in the past. This would be good bulletin board material....but then again, maybe someone at UC already drew the concept up. That would be cool.*looks around*
I mean... when you really think about it, the solution is kinda obvious...
The RV is a bus...
London is right there...
I feel like it's likelyTruly not trying to be snarky and I ask this genuinely:
Is there any chance this closes in the next 5 years? After Epic Universe opens this is gonna standout I feel, it already kinda does. Not sure if they’d just tear it down (can’t imagine) or re do and re-theme the ride.
I like your ideas so so much moreI feel like it's likely
IMO F&F deserves a ride...Personally (everyone don't kill me) I was hoping it would replace Mummy and we'd get an all new indoor coaster
I was hoping Disaster would be converted into a new special effects type show/360 display using new trams. You could have put Godzilla or something in there and done a neat display..Or just used bits and pieces from the Lights, Camera, Action show in Singapore

Ya I’d say a re-do/re-theme is considered a close. Just not opening this exact version ever again.Define closed.
I wonder if they would ever do a smaller trackless "car" if you willDefine closed.
