If you could pick any Paramount movie(s) to use to theme a new coaster/flat ride what would it be?

You can also use the Nickelodean ones since they're owned by Paramount.

Let's see...

Mission Impossible
Raiders of the Lost Ark or any Indiana Jones movie
Tomb Raider (already used though)
Hunt for Red October
The Italian Job
Beverly Hills Cop
Jimmy Neutron

Their is additional problems with Indiana Jones. One is LucasArts, two is Disney. If you could get through those Media Giant Hurdles, then you could have some fun Amusement Park Themed rides.

I still think Star Trek has yet to reach potential. Borg Assimilator is a start but much more could be done. I always thought Congo would have been a great retheme for Diamond Falls at Kings Dominion, but alas... they took it away.

They can theme it on jimmy neutron and put it in nickoledon center. Not the best Idea but it will still fit. I thing Indaina Jones is a great Idea with a coaster or a flat.

its funny i was thinking of a topic similar to this earlier at work cause seems lately some threads have been a little boring but good thought carowindsfreak13........but i decided to go ahead w/ my thread..........have fun!!

But to answer your question i would theme a dark ride, oh......i mean an ADULT dark ride to one of the paramount scary movies. Kinda like scooby doo in steriods!! Its not gonna be for the timid.

We need one of those "Top Spins" as they are called in roller coaster tycoon. I have been on one before (not sure where) it might have been at SFGA (I went like 4 years ago so don't ask me about any of the new rides). I don't care which movie they theme it to (As long as it's a movie). Is the fugitive a paramount movie? They could theme a "Top Spin" to the train wreck at the begining of the movie.

I think something themed around Friday the 13th 1, 2, or 3 would be interesting. Paramount made & owns the first few in that series.

For example, at Scarowinds, why don't we see a "Camp Crystal Lake" horror trail or something?

-wishful thinkin' on-

I wish Paramount would buy rights from Fox to use the "ALIEN" movie series in it's parks. Disney currently own them, but the only time I'm aware that they've used them is on the Great Movie Ride. (Though Alien Encounter was supposed to be based on Alien in it's early stages)

You could make a kick-ass horror/dark ride using the monsters and characters from that series. Imagine something like Spiderman or Countdown to Extinction using the Alien monster! Don't know if Paramount would spend that much money though. :rolleyes:
-off-

I'm still waiting for a ride based on some of Paramount's comedies or spoofs. Imagine an "Airplane!" simulator film or "The Naked Gun High Speed Car Chase" themed roller coaster! B)
