This ride could've really benefitted with projection technology, projecting onto the vortex to make it appear to be rotating and hurling debris around much faster than it actually was, projecting rain blowing sideways, ect.
I worked in maintenance from 81' to 94' as a painter. When they changed to the Looney Tunes theme, I painted those boxes labeled TNT and such in the shop. My co-worker repainted the black ceiling. When it was lunch time, he would come out black all over with his white eyes. I had to laugh. 😂
All of these themes sound like far better ideas than most of the stuff they include in US parks. They're fun to visit maybe once or twice, but have no appeal to return again like Disney, Six Flags, ans Knotts do. Harry Potter World changed that, but it's a bit sad how much traction that section gets in comparison to the rest of the park.
This is such a sad and scary story i cant imagine what i would do if i was the teenagers in this situation being trapped in a pitch black building 2000 degrees in flames with nowhere to go. Six flags should have also put a memorial to the victims that died in this unfortunate accident. Whats more angering is six flags had oppertunitys to update the attraction and get it up to better saftey standards like even the manufacturer offered to update the building and they declined and left it the same knowing the potential danger. The only good thing to come out of this situation was that it tought other amusment parks a lesson about getting haunted house attractions up to proper saftey standards.
I went during the opening season and it was a let down, but you could definitely see where they were going with it so I was optimistic. The admission price did not reflect what was actually available at the park, and the purple coaster was extremely rough. Only took a couple hours to see everything then we spent the rest of the day at the water park because they offer dual passes. I'll go back for sure as they expand, and I'm happy there is finally some competition for Adventureland so they can start to update and modernize.
I rode rhe Jaws ride at Universal Studios Japan a few months ago and even though I couldn't quite understand my skipper I still enjoyed their enthusiasm and had a great time.😂
The fact that a real tornado hit the area while the ride was in development is wild 😮 It was nice to hear Universal’s response though. I did get to experience this ride once back in 2013. It was fun, but I don’t think I appreciated it as much back then as I think I would today.
This park is absolutely beautiful. I was blown away by how much detail the family put into the park. You can tell that they genuinely put their heart and souls into its creation. It puts the only rival it has, Adventureland in Des Moines, to shame. We were able to go on every ride that wasn't meant for small children within two hours when we went last year. The crowds were so dead that employees were sitting around bored out of their minds waiting for anyone to approach their rides. Since the greenery is still young, there's barely any shade outside of some of the queues and other buildings. That gorgeous Nopuko coaster was admittedly very painful to ride. I've heard the same of Matugani, which has unfortunately been out of service every time I've visited. I really hope that this park is able to make it past its first few years. The family clearly put a lot of work into it and I hope I never have to see it close its door due to its scary low attendance.
Brilliant video. Do you have one like this for Universal Studios? I'd like to watch a video like this by you for all the universal and Disney Parks on both coasts!
I live in waterloo, i can tell you now that most people in the town havent even been to the park yet. Its still simply too expensive for most of us to justify going, especially when we're so used to the waterpark itself
I gotcha. I will say the price imo is pretty fair compared to similar parks, and the food is a really good value. They offer some discount days, so look out for that.
Brilliant video! I went on this ride loads as a teen and young adult, I had no idea it opened with a different version and had to be completely redesigned. I wish it was still open so my now 11 and 13 year old boys could ride it they would love it! This was an amazing ride. I wish they could do rides like this again
Thank you! Sigh, yep. This ride was a huge risk, and it's hard to see companies making that type of risk again. But Epic Universe will have some incredible rides!
I just found your channel and subscribed! This was a nicely put together video. I was born in 1995 (a few years after Journey was demolished so I never got to see it in person) and went to Dorney Park many times as a kid. I remember hearing a lot about this ride but until recently just decided to look more into it. It looked small, yes and I can understand now why it was eventually removed but it still looked neat overall. Granted I do feel Thunder Canyon and White Water Landing are adequate Shoot the Shoot rides.
The beast was a great ride for Most people. How his son was a bad and dangerous boy and was eventually was thrown out probably way later then he should have been allowed.
I really miss this show, it was really awesome, the sad fact is they let the show die out, the effects were beginning to fail and not be as strong as they used to be, great video!
Now that the new Twisters came out I think Universal Orlando needs to bring it back but as a Simulator like Spiderman or Dark Ride and I am sure something great could be built
You did a good job on this video about Twister. I got to experience it 2-3 times in the early 200s. I am so glad I did. I personally think it should still be there at Universal and continuing to be in operation. I actually did not see the movie before I experienced the Twister show. After seeing the movie, I consider it one of my top five all time movies, Jaws being first. Which that ride as well should still be there operating today.
@@StorybookAmusement yeah that is a little backwards isn't it. LOL. But I loved the Twister experience and I still love the movie. I doubt I'll see the sequel. Nothing ever beats the originals of movies.
