If you ever make a part 2, there's an Angry Birds land in Thorpe Park in the UK which has a drop tower, 4D cinema and bumper cars which closed last year. Also, Toyland Tours had its own Sonic music in the Genesis style at Alton Towers
Gotta say, this is a pretty well done video! The only notable video game theme park attraction you didn't mention was the fact that there's an Uncharted ride in PortAventura. Well, that and the numerous SegaWorld locations in spots like London and Sydney, but those are probably worth their own separate videos anyway. Also, I completely forgot there was a Rabbids ride at one point. I wonder if it's still operational?
I live near where one of the pac man six flags lands was, there are actually still a few remnants of it, one of which is actually the entirety of the pac man Ferris wheel still being there it’s been repainted and the pac man design is still on it
I wonder why those stupid rumors/fake newsers keep talking about an extremely awful Zelda land and extremely awful Pokémon land? And to be honest for real I don’t know anything about Pokémon that much neither as Zelda where they have really evil army skull kids to attack as adults instead of us children at all. 🤔🤮👎🏻 16:45
9:36 they also kept the Sonic statue in Alton Towers, apparently you could see him when riding a gondola ride there. Not sure if it's still there now but I heard people talk about it a year or 2 ago. Another thing, I believe the Sonic walkaround mascot still sees use at Alton Towers, but I'm also not 100% sure about that.
This was really neat (dang Mexican Bowser was terrifying O.o) but could you talk about SegaWorld Sydney and the other SegaWorld locations? I know you might've considered them more arcades than theme parks but they were sorta on the brink of this idea!
I went on the Mario Kart ride. The AR goggles showcase the racers and other enemies, and you are supposed to launch koopa shells at enemies and opposing racers. The idea is that you're on Team Mario, and your opponents are Team Bowser. You gain couns for hitting Team Bowser racers, but lose coins for hitting Team Mario racers. No matter what happens, Team Mario always wins. You just compete to see how many coins you can get among the other riders. Without the AR game element, it is not really that great. But at least they built substantial sets to make you feel like you're in a Mario Kart track.
I wanna see an awesome Sonic the Hedgehog roller coaster with launches and inversions that’ll be part of a Sega themed theme park or as a collaboration with a different theme park chain!
In addition to Kings Island, Kings Dominion in. Virginia had their own Tomb Raider ride too, but it was just an outdoor top spin. And Canada’s Wonderland in Ontario had a Tomb Raider coaster, but from what I’ve heard it’s not that good.
If you make a part 2 can you add angry birds land at thrope park in englinind. The land had some flat rides a drop tower and a 4d attraction all themed after angry birds. Sadly they removed the angry birds theming from the land this year most likely due to the licensing expiring but it's still crazy that there was a angry birds themed land at a theme park at one point.
the AR on the mario ride is from passable to horrible. the little effects they do on the track and how it switches over from track to track and makes you feel like you’re moving faster is really cool. the racers and stuff on the track are annoying because they’re way too close to you and the game element is both confusing and painful. i couldn’t tell how i was getting shells and to actually fire the shells you have to move your head to aim them but there’s no reticle or anything so most of the time you’ll just miss. i’d recommend just taking the glasses off
You know I have played some of the Lego Games from TT Games which are Lego Batman 1, 2, and 3, Lego Harry Potter Books 1-4 and Books 5-7, Lego Star Wars 1, 2, and Force Awakens, Lego Indiana Jones 1 and 2, Lego Marvel Super Heroes, Lego Jurassic World, Lego Movie, Lego DC Super-Villains, and Lego Stars Wars The Skywalker Saga. So since Lego did Lego sets for Nintendo like Mario, The Legend of Zelda, and Animal Crossing so it would be cool to see TT Games do a Lego Nintendo Game like Lego Batman, Indiana Jones, Stars Wars, and Harry Potter which that would be cool to see happening.
You know I hope I do get to go to Super Nintendo World and it would be cool if there was any rumors for Kirby and having like a ride and maybe some merch for it since Japan has a lot of merch for Kirby with the plushies, the figures, and all of that so it could be cool if they did that since we're getting rumors of Pokemon and Zelda being added since we already got one for Donkey Kong and Mario so yeah I hope Universal and Nintendo have some good plans for Super Nintendo World and I hope it goes good.
Cool fact about the genesis section at Epcot was there was an area dedicated to the Sega Channel, an add-on for the system that allowed you to download games to it (very ahead of its time). One of the games playable there at one point was actually Garfield Caught in the act, which had some levels exclusive to the Sega channel that are now lost. Some of the only footage of those levels online comes from the Epcot pavilion, so that’s kinda neat. As for my wish, I’d love a dueling roller coaster themed to Splatoon. Come on it just makes sense.
As someone who rode the Sonic Spinball, its other defining feature is that it had voiceover from Roger Craig Smith playing during the line and the ride, his first role as Sonic actually. I actually got stuck on the ride and Sonic was saying stuff about Eggman breaking down the ride and having to go defeat him
Another fun fact - they also had a Sonic themed hotel to go along with the ride which had a Green Hill Zone themed room and a PS3/Wii loaded with Sonic games, as well as Sonic merch being in the gift shop - still got my Sonic trucker cap from there
also a thing you missed, skylanders wasnt the first toys to life game, mattel did an online game called U.B Funkeys that basically made the concept, but was in fact so obscure that its not even your fault not knowing it, and despiste U.B funkeys been the first, skylanders actually made the bases for the toys to life genre
Dinorang was awesome though. The ability to control a boomerang with basically the force really made my brother mad in pvp. XD. The strength of Skylanders was that if you got bored using one character, you could switch out and have different powers, some of which were way different than the typical ones.
