James Bond:License to Thrill Ride. 007 needs a new ride
James Bond:License to thrill ride was a movie ride from the 90's. This from what I found is the only time a James Bond ride was made. This is another movie series that is right for a theme park attractions. But what kind of ride will it be? 
Making of the 007 ride video. Link The preshow and display area of 007 at Kings Dominion video. Link Check out Gary Goddard web site for concept art of the James Bond ride. http://www.garygoddard.com/ A stunt show(makes sense), dark ride(all for it), roller coaster(I can see that) are all good choices. I just having trouble seeing what kind of attraction can be made into. I believe James Bond is right for the theme parks and hot off the reboot like Batman and Star Trek it's the right time for one. I love James Bond. I have Conney as the best and Craig, Moore, and the rest at are just as good. But for a series that lasted 40 plus years I don't know why a ride or attraction but one hasn't come out before. So, where can Bond go? Universal Studios seems great, but with the Bourne movies being a huge hit series, I don't see Universal paying license fees for something they own that is just as similar. Disney seems to be logical choice but I heard rumors that with MGM name going from Hollywood studios and Pixar ideal for changing the entire park into so they don't have to pay license fee(ex.The Great Movie Ride)fee, so they might not need the extra payment. I hope that rumor is not true I love Hollywood Studios like it is. Also, Lucas still has his stuff there, I don't see why they can get another great movie property to compete with Harry Potter at IOA. Six Flags, Cedar Point, all these parks have the potential in bringing great 007 ride. link to 007 reivew http://www.universalexports.net/00Dominion.shtml What I think would be best ride for 007 is something like the Mummy Ride at US. When I first rode that ride I was spellbound. A mix of dark ride with a coaster thrill was something I never experience. If they can make a ride like that for 007 I think it will be a big hit. What kind of ride would you guy's like to see? Man I need to make video of my concept of rides I have ideas for. Those anybody know what kind of software is out there where I can make a ride like dark ride or coaster? |
