GAcoaster Posted November 17, 2022 Report Share Posted November 17, 2022 Our wish for Day #1: Add a new attraction to the Simulator Building We understand that with changes in management that the simulator building was gutted and the planned new attraction canceled, but it's been several years now that it has been sitting vacant and underused. It should be a priority to come up with a new use-- a new type of simulator ride or some other kind of indoor attraction. With the park's nine month long season it helps to have more indoor attractions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 If it would fit, this looks like an interesting option. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Medusa42 Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 They would have to extend the building to do this. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I Have No Name Posted December 1, 2022 Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 I'm in total agreement on making use of the building year round instead of just Fright Fest season. A simulator would be a good fit, many people would want to dip inside on a blazing hot July/August day or take refuge in the cooler early/late season weather. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted December 1, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2022 Even adding an indoor flat ride would be better than leaving it sitting unused. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
29yrswithaGApass Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 At the very least they need to repaint and cleanup the front. The haunt entrance area on the left side looks kinda trashy with its temporary fence sections. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coaster Justin Posted December 2, 2022 Report Share Posted December 2, 2022 Planned New Attraction Cancelled? You have my attention. Be cool if they made a flying Simulator like at Legoland parks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAcoaster Posted December 3, 2022 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2022 ^ In the Red Zone/Shapiro years they planned to add an upcharge 5D standup simulator attraction that would have been the first of its kind in the world. Luckily(?) it didn't happen because they were out and the current H-Partners led board took over and cancelled it. The company that was supposed to install the ride apparently never sold another one so I assume the concept was a flop... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Master Posted December 4, 2022 Report Share Posted December 4, 2022 I really do miss the simulator ride, especially The Right Stuff and Elvira. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This definitely looks like a reasonable attempt to make the building into a viable attraction once again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHOA, I had no idea this ride existed. It's so cool! Wish we could have this level of theming on our DC rides. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ericthewanderer Posted December 13, 2022 Report Share Posted December 13, 2022 I think Six Flags should try to get permission from Warner Bros to use movie names and characters for films for new simulators chain-wide.Basically the simulator movies would be based on movie series like "lethal Weapon","Police Academy" and "Vacation" and have look-alikes do most of the acting.Six Flags could go as far as make at least 3 movies for each title:the first one would be used for most of the season,the second would be only for Fright Fest,and the third would only be shown during HITP. I know that's alot to ask for,but building all those Justice League shoot-'em-ups seemed to pay off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Theme Park Reconnoiter Posted December 31, 2022 Report Share Posted December 31, 2022 (edited) The Founder of this park, Warner LeRoy after all is The Grandson and Grand Nephew of Warner Brothers. So Yeah, Six Flags should but only for Great Adventure, because WB is part of his Family Business Edited December 31, 2022 by Theme Park Reconnoiter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
