MitchCaltabiano Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Thought I should bring up how this season will be Skull Mountain's 20th season in operation! People have been wondering about the park adding some more effects or props to the ride to celebrate 20 years of one of the best family rides (and one heck of a ride in the back). What are your thoughts on if the park should do something like this to celebrate Skull Mountain's 20th birthday? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatansHockey Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 I saw over on theme park reviews forums that a bunch of posters said there should be a 20 ride marathon in celebration, I would be down for something like that. The last row is so much fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gencx Posted April 14, 2016 Report Share Posted April 14, 2016 Should it? Probably. Will it? Definitely not. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 I'd be happy with the building being completely dark inside except for the effects/props and the return of the glowing track at the bottom of the first drop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yea, they really need to seal up the windows. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrpq Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 I don't remember the glowing track. glowing track would also mean it would need to be cleaned which we know would not happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yoshi Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Maybe it was just black light shining on the small section that was painted. It was at the bottom of the first drop and was working up until the end of last season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viper26 Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 ^It is replaced with an orange light I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 The building was never totally dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owtoty Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 It would be cool if they had the windows on the lift part open for a couple seconds and close really fast so that it suddenly gets pitch black. At that moment some sort of prop/glow lights could turn on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Justin Posted April 16, 2016 Report Share Posted April 16, 2016 Sounds like a good ride to get VR on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericthewanderer Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 The main thing they should be concerned with is keeping the waterfall running!Other than that,I think they should add some black lights inside and possibly running the trains backwards.

The Master Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Skull Mt used to have some scary face projections, maybe bring those back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungPup Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 They should add a skull that the car goes through (it would go through the mouth), either when the car first leaves the station, or when it starts going up the the 2nd hill. They could also add a projection, so when you're going up that 2nd hill, you're watching the projection and the drop is a bit unexpected, kind of like how Universal has the dinosaur on the Jurassic park ride. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 While I agree with the idea of upgrading/enhancing any ride, I doubt they would spend any money on it unless it somehow makes them money. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungPup Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 While I agree with the idea of upgrading/enhancing any ride, I doubt they would spend any money on it unless it somehow makes them money. They could say it's redesigned. That could get them extra business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 But that's the problem is it wouldn't make anymore guests come to the park or spend their money. No return on investment, most likely never will happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GAcoaster Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 No, it wouldn't. It would just be the same people complaining "it's a kiddie ride" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew M Posted April 20, 2016 Report Share Posted April 20, 2016 Knowing how their marketing team works if they ever added new effects they would market it as a "new ride". It wouldn't be that much money to add some lights or props. They spend plenty of money fixing up the park with paint and landscaping. That doesn't make the park any money, but its what you have to do. And that should go the same with giving these rides some TLC once in a while and keeping them up to date.

hollyferry Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 We were at GA yesterday, and the entire time we were there Skull Mountain was closed. Any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyc98 Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 It was closed when I went to the park on Wednesday as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gencx Posted June 18, 2016 Report Share Posted June 18, 2016 I have a feeling they might be working on adding the dreadful VR to Skull. Harry hinted as much in another thread recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
