I know it will never happen but I would love to see this combined with SCarowinds level theming. I think that could be a combination that would blow something like Disney's Haunted Mansion out of the water.

Although I would love that. The Haunted Mansion is and always will be my favorite ride, even though I've never ridden it. I know more than you think :lol:

What would be cool if we got one similar to Gringotts. A roller coaster with slow sections for screens and shooter scenes. It would have both thrill, and still have a low enough intensity to be a good family ride.

That'd be a great idea! The SCarowinds team could design the physical sets! That doesn't seem like something too crazy for a dark ride.

I swear...I needed that laugh...

Anyway. While I think these attractions are cool and all, I think cedar fair is kinda missing the mark on installing a true dark ride that would be classic. The shooting distracts from the experience in my opinion, could be why I dont really care for Men in Black. This looks plausible for Knotts but yeah...keep them away from carowinds please...

Lol Jarvis.

And how can anyone have a favorite ride they've never ridden? Most anticipated ride, mayhaps. But you can't really count something you've never ridden...

Having said that... Love me some Haunted Mansion. Even if I did get stuck in the seance room for 30 min back in March.

I can assure you that even though I've never ridden the Haunted Mansion, the ride itself and learning about it as a child really changed my future outlook. The ride inspired the movie, which in turn reinspired my artwork and fascination with the ride. Even to the point that my previous project (which I stopped in order to work on the carowinds model) was going to be an exact working replica of the Magic Kingdom version. If I ever get back to work on that, I'll create a thread.
But in the meantime, I hope that someday I'll go ride it.

No....how is hard to comprehend, the theming of Haunted Mansion is better than Boo Blasters and similar to the mazes of Scarowinds.
