Didn't someone earlier mention that CF's safety people took a look and decided it wasn't safe for continual operations in total darkness as riders would be too disoriented and may not properly brace themselves against impacts within the ride vehicles/restraints?

Or have I rawatched Expedition: Alton Towers enough times to be familiar with why The Black Hole caused a bunch of injuries when it ran lights out?

I've been gone for a while. I apologize if I missed that.
 
I've seen a couple write-ups stating there was a "crack" in one of the walls where you could see alien bodies. Is this actually a thing? I never noticed it before.

I have read this on the internet for several years and struggled to find any evidence of this existing in the queue. The KD version of FOF has been absolutely destroyed theming-wise by Haunt, the rather obnoxious Battle for KD signs, and the all too familiar FUN TV playing the same pop hits over and over again on repeat. It would be neat to know more about some of the removed and abandoned effects that are still hidden in the queue today.

^^-- and yet all they really need to do to make the queue decent is keep the mirror behind the UFO clean and fix the light on that cool looking circular thing in the circular room.

I wish they'd restore the theming about the paranormal activity - maybe new 'radio' bits, references to past marketing efforts (crop circle - not sure if it was where I-305 currently stands or elsewhere), cleaning up and enhancing the alien ship and surrounding areas, and maybe finding a way to incorporate the theming into the damn FunTV they insist upon using in the queue.

Also, during my ride, the roof hatch was left open which caused a spotlight effect on the MCBR... while it was bright- it had a neat UFO-esk effect to it. Maybe close the hatch and add a spotlight LED that shines straight down. This would be neat to create a similar effect while the rest of the building's lights are turned off. And then have a projection map of a bunch of stars on the ceiling....?

Wishful thinking- I guess I can't ask for more lights when they have a tough time maintaining the little effects that are currently there.

Personally, a single spotlight with projection mapped stars would still be dark enough to have a nice suspenseful feeling. I dont particular care for a pitch black ride because you wouldn't be able to appreciate all of the near misses the ride offers.

I honestly love this idea. Seal it back up and black out, then do the projection that can shift throughout the day. Maybe have just a stars projection, Northern Lights, Milky Way.

One of these would work.
