laqueefa Posted November 17, 2015 Share Posted November 17, 2015 Likely will only go if my friend wants to see tailgating and then hang out at CGA durning a 49er's home game, something stupid like that. Well, I guess you won't be attending the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jray21 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 So will this just be the same system with a new video, or a new system? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WayCool64 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 Given the concept art that was shown, it seems that the whole theater will be remodeled with a possible new system. Though if that is true, I'd like to know who CF is working with on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WayCool64 Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Well, looks like I was right. Not only does it look like the theater is getting redone, but the old ride system has been removed.

Jew Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Noticed in the recent Cedar Fair 3rd Quarter Conference Call that California's Great America will likely be adding a Christmas event in 2016. And then your third question or your fourth question I guess it was, was about the fairly operating season and I guess because we are coming off a hugely successful Halloween season it makes us think more thoughtfully about what is available to us particular in markets where the climate is more favorable. So we will start with Great America this year, I am sorry, in 2016 this coming year and we have high hopes for that particular property and obviously if that proves successful you can expect to see it at multiple parks, maybe not at all parks but at multiple parks. And that would be the primary growth driver when we talk about expanding the season. I should point out again, since I am sitting here, we already have an extremely successful Merry Farm program here at Knott's Berry Farm and so we are going to take a lot of lessons, keep learning there, about what entertainment works, what food product works and how to market that product in order to leverage the attempt that we are making up at Great America.

Stealthguy05 Posted December 12, 2015 Share Posted December 12, 2015 Interesting. I wonder if they will use something like Triotech's XD Theatre or something more like MediaMation's MX4d. Interesting to see how this will develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting to see how this will develop. Â Considering their existing relationship with Triotech, I'm guessing it's the former. It would seem obvious to let Triotech do it. One thing I'm a tad concerned about if they do go with Triotech's ride system is the motion itself (if there will be motion in it). Compared to the original Iwerks system, the motion on Triotech's simulators seem a little stiff (at least given my experience from riding similar simulators from them). But then again, the PvZ ride at Carowinds is being developed by Alterface. So since CF has been recently partnering with more companies, and given what I've seen from MediaMation, the MX4D system would be an interesting fit to the attraction. But really, we have no idea who's actually behind the tech to this ride. Time will tell what company CF is working with for this. For now we can only speculate.

rollercoasterpics004 Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 But the real question will be, since it is sponsored by and based of an EA game, will there be an upcharge for the full simulator, or does admission only get the video screen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, I approve. Maybe they'll also make us download an installer/launcher thing to ride, even though no other rides will require it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RAWKIN_coaster38 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 So does that mean they're gonna lose the rights in like a year (or game is a fail)/loses popularity) and change the film to "Flight Hawk: The Ride?" Or better yet, just relocate all the ride parts to another Cedar Fair park and let the building sit vacant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DJeXeL Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 ^My thoughts exactly. You seem like you would know these legal matters pretty well. What say do their cranky neighbors have?

The aren't going to want anything in there that's too noisy. Â Well, their lease is probably pretty ironclad, so the neighbors can't say much except for them to abide by the terms of the lease...but if someone else buys the land if Cedar Fair declines their first right of refusal, I think it would be safe to say that CGA will not last beyond the lease (which is reported as being 75 years, so plenty of time).
