Commence "what ride at SFGAm will be Three Stooges this year" discussion

[BLADE]

Eagle is my guess. I don't remember it having a sponsor yet.

[DejaVu2001]

Calling it now (and I hate to say this) Whizzer.

And they can call it the Curly Shuffle.

No matter what ride it ends up being, it would be so F-ing disappointing that I would literally loose all of what little faith I have left in mankind!

It probably would be Curly's something ride because I think people's favorite Stooge is Curly. They keep going overboard too much with this advertising stuff. This however is not as bad as the waterpark, and the commercials over and over and over again. Play a song, than have commercials. Play another song, more commercials over the speakers.

Doubt it; remember the huge Geico ad that was on Viper? For a short period of time it was on Eagle's barrel facing 94, and apparently the village shot that one down because of a billboard ordinance.

[Coaster Justin]

My guess would be either Triple Play or Fun Machine

With all that gone....


Either way however the movie comes out on April 13, SFGAm will be nowhere near opening, by May when the park does open, that movie will have bombed and will probably be in second run theaters if not getting ready to hit the $5 shelf at Walmart, and it will all be a moot point.

As Oderus Urungus from GWAR said "The Three Stooges already made a bunch of movies!"

I'll probably go see it either way.

Negative tonight, Aren't you?
Even Bucky Larson waited 4 months after being released to being on DVD.

So what you're saying is they are going to plaster a ride at SFGAm with ad's for a movie that is a month old?

I am a big 3 stooges fan, there is no way a modern movie can even come close to comparing to what the 3 stooges were. They are all dead, and the franchise should be dead and left alone. I'm sure they could have found something else to butcher. And in the end they are either going to copy what the 3 stooges were doing, in which case it's been done already, or if they do something new, well then it's not really the 3 stooges. They used a very specific model for pretty much everything they did

Now I know why you hate the Movie. It's like with Batman movies, Just because It's rebooted doesn't mean it's gonna be worse.

We're going off topic here, but from what I've seen of the previews, it almost seems like the Blues Brothers plot line.

Did you ever see that abc Three Stooges documentary type of movie? That was a really good movie. It came out in 2000. They have at free at Crackle now: http://www.crackle.com/c/The_Three_Stoo ... es/2481401

In regards to the original Three Stooges movies, I wasn't really a fan such as The Three Stooges Go Around the World in a Daze. To me, their stick were shorts and not a hour and more movie. Don't get me wrong, I like the Stooges but not their movies.

Running one side backwards would be a nice marketing/tie-in sort of thing. Do they still do that for their fright fest?

Speaking of Colossus - there are rumors about a Rocky Mountain makeover (like the new Texas Giant). I'd be happy to see that

[FParker185]

I think they even leave the B&M train from Psyclone on the transfer track year round for backward operation. At least last time I was at SFMM in 2009 the B&M train(s) was sitting on the transfer track in April covered with tarps.
