roeterich Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Here's my 2nd TR on this board. I hope you'll enjoy it So In the last two weeks I went to MPG twice to test the new rides, see what has improved and make my new season pass. They did a great job on renovating the whole park, especially the kiddie-area. The park was empty on both days so I could get enough rides on all the attractions including the new ones, so here's my review of them: Sponge Bob 4D: Sponge Bob rules! The movie is pretty cool. The effects are okay but the seats are to loud. There are some scenes were you can't understand the dialog because they are so loud. But it is still better than Marvin the Marsian. Time Riders: That was really a surprise. I liked it a lot better than the Batman simulator. The new pre shows are very funny and the actual ride is also better with some nice effects. The new movie has a good story even if it wasn't that different from what you expect, when an attraction is called Time Riders. Ice Age: So this ride was my biggest surprise. I ignored all the pictures of the inside because I didn't want to spoil myself. That's the reason why I don't tell to much from the inside. I loved the Loony Toons Adventure but Ice Age has a lot more funny scenes and better animatronics so I have to say that Ice age is an improvement. They adopted the running gag with Scrat and the nut pretty good and other scenes from the movie as well. If you didn't have seen the movie so far and you want to visit Movie Park, I suggest that you watch the Movie first So I think that is enough and now onto the pics. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. The last pic is "Bandit", the Cyclone-Layout woodie of the park. The obligatory: "FX-Vekoma-piece-of-crap" foto. The other ride is "Sidekick",which is pretty funny. Okay not everything is new painted. "Bermuda Triangle Alien Encounter" looks still like fresh from the rubbish dump. Ice Age entrance. There is still plenty of decoration lying on the ground. Mad Manor. Completely new paintjob and new decoration. Everywhere in the park is fresh color and new decoration. "Rocket to the moon Rollercoaster" or something like that^^ They renovated the whole Wonderland studios pretty well. Time Riders in the background, yellow cab in the foreground. "Cop Car Chase" again. I like this coaster. Maybe because it was my first inverting coaster. "Lethal Weapon Pursuit", ehhhhhr I mean "Cop Car Chase" (what a dumb name^^) "The High Fall", which I like more than "Scream". The completely new painted end of the main street. The completely new shaped entrance area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robbalvey Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Great TR and photos! This makes us look even more forward to our trip there in a few weeks. Was Lethal...er..."Cop Car Chase" running both sides? And is there anything still closed from the WBMW conversion process? --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Movieguy Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Bermuda Triangle Alien Encounter???... I'm still scratching my head at that name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roeterich Posted May 9, 2005 Author Share Posted May 9, 2005 On the first day we went there it was only running one side, on the second day both sides run. The second day was a German holiday and you could see another big improvement: All the rides operated with full capacity so if you go on a weekend and it isn't two empty both sides should operate. The only attraction that remains closed for the whole season is the Gremlins dark ride. I think it will only open during Halloween. If you have bad luck there is maybe oner of the new attractions closed. During my first visit (4/27/05) Time Riders was closed the whole day because of improving the decoration and during my second visit (5/5/05) was Ice Age particularly closed.

Movieguy Posted May 9, 2005 Share Posted May 9, 2005 Hold the phone...there was "Gremlins" themed dark ride there? I've been dreaming up something like that for years in my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
