I now have this terrifying mental image of FJ's entrance forming teeth and inhaling park guests.
If I could draw it I would.
Can't wait for this bad boy to open! I really hope Sea World opening a trackless ride in the US before Disney really embarrasses them. Lol
ound:
It will be interesting to see how all the cars "interact" with each other, and how they make that work with the theme of the ride.

That's pretty cool! Especially:
"In select cities, SeaWorld’s “Epic Voyage” takes over malls and consumer travel shows with a unique family experience filled with a massive ice dome, interactive virtual reality, shareable photo opportunities, chances to win incredible prizes by playing Antarctica-themed games, and, of course, live penguins. Coca-Cola Freestyle machines will also be part of the experience on site to quench the thirst of attendees with complimentary, refreshing drinks."
WOW! That's some marketing!
I also entered their sweepstakes. Even though I got a SeaWorld AP, maybe I can win the tickets for my family :smiley:

I thought Mystic Manors budget was slashed and will instead be a standard Omnimover style attraction.
I truly hope that's not the case. It'd be such a Shame if they go this route. It's a cop-out in my honest opinion.
Nope! And it sounds like this ride in Hong Kong is going to be quite awesome!

Checked out Seaworld's booth this afternoon in Chicago. Nothing you wouldn't learn from this thread, but still a really neat setup. Impressed by Seaworld more and more, they really are trying hard.
Free Coke Freestyle
Busch Gardens area
Motion Capture/Green screen area for kids to act with virtual penguins
Real penguins
Flat screen presentation on new ride (short film that cycled with concept art)
Claw game
Free Seaworld bracelets/bags
Photo op with fake penguins
Seaworld themed cars/suvs
By far most popular booth at the show, with two dozen employees from Florida. Was interesting that Universal's was pretty lackluster (more chintzy than even Cedar Point's) and that it was manned by only one AAA guy disguised in a Universal shirt.
