Good answer. FoF always felt faster going through the inversions. But to each is own.
Back to what I was saying last week about Cedar Fair investing in the indoor ride department. I believe the park could benefit huge from it. This was experimented with back during the Paramount operation days when the park received Scooby-Doo Boos Blasters and Italian Job Stunt Coaster. Back when all the SFX worked for Stunt Coaster; it was a good ride. Given the fact, it sits so close to Flight of Fear; always pinches my thought of Premier doing something much bigger for the indoor ride department. As I've said; they have a great success in this department.
Since we are in the jungle theme; why not consider doing the Animal Kingdom approach and give us Dinosaurs? Let's consider the amount of space that Anaconda currently sits on. If Stunt Coaster and Anaconda were removed for a half indoor/outdoor attraction; I'd say that a time travel theme with Dinosaurs would be cool. Seeing Premier Rides do this would be fun.
Thoughts?
Cedar Point had both a hit and a complete flop in Disaster Transport. They didn't really get the story nailed down but, more importantly, they seemed to have no interest in maintaining the theme which ultimately made it flop even though it was well loved by many. I think that's why we've not see a dark ride at Cedar Point and why all Cedar Fair parks have been lacking in indoor rides. We're in a new era with KD, it seems..... and this could be really good for the whole chain if things go well. My prediction is that Backlot Stunt Coaster will be rethemed to some type of a jungle jeep tour and we might actually see a different show scene. I also still think FoF would make sense as some sort of jungle lab where Dr. Estrada (hopefully I got that right) conducts research -- this would allow the same feel of the ride to make sense while only making partial modifications to the theme.
Also, when it comes to the ride systems, you're really not looking at the coaster manufacturer. While theme elements connect in with the PLC controllers on the rides they generally are just triggers and then everything externally is the work of a different firm. Intamin is probably one of the few coaster manufacturers that actually does more of the show elements themselves but even they outsource a lot to other companies (or work with their customer's other contractors) as far as I'm aware. As an example, if BSC gets rethemed and a new show sequence produced there still would likely be very little interaction from Premier regarding that.
