Hi, I've composed this little piece as a soundtrack for a family friendly, fantasy themed dark ride, and I'd like to know what you guys think about it: Cheers!

Yeah, exactly, it was really depressing and I'm surprised the park survived that time at all, but now (well, for a few years now, actually) I'm starting to be glad it did. It's still not as spectactular as it used to be and can't compete with especially Phantasialand, theming-wise (or well, maybe also not in terms of the quality of the coasters, but, me personally, the more praise a coaster gets, the more terrifying I tend to find it, so there's that XD The perfect attraction for me is one that has coaster elements, but not too much and too rough, while also having intriguing dark ride parts; so basically the new attraction, I guess. Another example would be "Arthur" from Europapark -well, almost, if only the animatronics were a tiny bit better ), but it's definitely enjoyable again and it doesn't feel like a wasted day going there (if you brought your own food XD )...

Hi, I'm new here and, considering I'm from Germany, I guess this is a good place to start participating in the discussion(s) I'd just like to say that I personally feel that things are slowly but steadily getting better for the park. Do most people here only know it as "Moviepark" or do a lot also remember it as "Warner Bros. Movie World", as it was called when it originally opened in 1996? Because that was mind-blowing back then (at least for me as a 12-year-old ) and then... aw, man, that was such a bummer when they lost the Warner Bros. licences, suddenly everything was kinda like before, but much less good, especially that godawful Ice Age ride as opposed to the Looney Tunes one they had before that. But now they've rethemed what's now called "Area 51" and "Excalibur", they got that pier where I love just hanging out, with good old pop music by the Beach Boys etc. They got Van Helsing, which even I enjoy, in spite of admittedly not being the biggest coaster fan. They got that dinosaur thing, which is...not good, but at least it's got an impressive animatronic at the end. And now of course there's that new ride (where Ice Age USED to be!) which I haven't had the opportunity to go on yet, but it looks promising. I think if that doesn't turn out to be a huge disappointment, the park will again have taken Phantasialand's place (which has the best theming of any German park and definitely a LOT more budget than the Moviepark, but, well, almost exclusively roller coasters now...) for me personally at least (then they'd only have to hire some better cooks...yuk; the only OK thing are the hot dogs and I guess the crêpes and other sweets like that...). What do you think?
