Nice!!!
Maybe there is hope for the line!!! After watching the video, I have a question. So what is a "Dark Ride?" He started to explain what that means, but didn't seem to be specific. So, to anyone w/ knowledge on this subject, what is a "Dark Ride?"

I do not know what you think but I think this just can bring good things for the future of G.I. Joe. I have not been thrilled about the line in a long time as after reading the announcement and watching the video.

Dark Ride is a ride that runs in the dark...lol
Seriously: any attraction where visitors take a vehicle and follow a path across several indoor scenarios is a "dark ride". Usually, this therm does not apply to roller coasters. A good example is the Spiderman ride on Universal Studios Isles of Adventue. |

Here's the way it was explained at IAAPA in Orlando on Tuesday from the folks at Dynamic Attractions -
The Dynamic All-Terrain Dark Ride is a trackless, indoor/outdoor dark ride vehicle that breaks boundaries. By breaking boundaries, this attraction actually breaks them as it is completely trackless. Now this doesn’t mean that you can’t take a turn driving it. The Dynamic All-Terrain Dark Ride is the first dark ride that will allow guests to seemingly go anywhere they steer. “In the military world, they call this ‘Fly by Wire’,” explains Haimson. “However, if they come close to another vehicle, wall or obstacle, the system will safely and thematically take control.” Another company, 2nd Star Productions, provided aerial drone coverage of the ride grounds: "At Second Star Productions, we love what we do all the time, but days like today take that to the next level. I’ve been collecting G.I. Joe since I was 5, so to get paid to fly a drone over a test course built for the first ever G.I. Joe themed ride vehicle for a new and top secret attraction coming to a theme park near you! #productionlife #gijoe #cosplay #cobra" They shared the following image on Insta - Yep, that's a 1:1 H.I.S.S. Tank. The test grounds aren't too far from me, so I plan on running recon soon. EDIT - Thanks for the FP credit ;)

This sounds totally awesome. I kept expecting to see an “April Fools!!” stamp at the end of the story because this almost feels too good to be true, and could just be an elaborate hoax! But if it’s legit then it is AWESOME!!! Can’t wait to see more!!!

A Theme Park Ride is something quite amazing to have for a franchise. Especially for one which most people consider as nearly dead. I'm excited, I really am. |
