Paramount to copy DAK E-ticket! (concept art)

[WDWFREAK53]

Paramount Parks will be getting a clone of the new Animal Kingdom E-ticket attraction slated to open in 2006. Expedition Everest is to put guests up against the imaginary Yeti.

Paramount is also building a "mountain" attraction in all of it's parks throughout the country.

Below is the concept art for Paramount's version:

To quote the ever famous Kitchen Kbaret:

"One more joke like that and you'll get the hook!"

Paramount's King's Dominion has had a Volcano coaster for several years now where you shoot out the top of a volcano.

:lookaroun

Maybe DAK is copying Paramount.

There are no Yeti's, but there is a scene with several skeletons that look vaguely familiar to the Pirates of the Caribbean skeletons.

:lookaroun

:lol: Well, the difference is whether you are looking for an experience ride or for a fast thrill. On the fast thrill side, Volcano delivers with a touch of theme. Honestly I hated to see the mountain so covered with supports as well . it actually looked like a mountain before the coaster was installed. Oh well, they don't claim to be Disney. :lol:

None of those go out the top of a mountain?

I understand what you thought you were saying.

Freaky has stepped over that line many a time. Don't be too surprised if it happens again. (and again...and again)

Splash doesn't? :lookaroun

Now...I could've SWORN that Tower of Terror was a rocket ship ride through a hotel and it launched you out of the top via a volcanic eruption....No?

Picky, picky....

Splash mountain does not launch you straight into the air out the top of a mountain... if it does, everyone should be afraid.... very afraid.

Brer Rabbit: Don't shoot me out of that cannon straight up into the air and off the flume tracks Brer Fox.

:lol:

We should rename ToT the ToP (Tower of Power)

Hey, they tried to make the People Mover into Rocket Rods at DL.

I can see how to make the Mt More of a Mt, Camaflouge, closest suports become Mt, and farthest become nice trees getting broken.
