@GypsRoccus Mate, that's amazing! There are definitely people out there who would be more than capable of ripping the audio out (and hopefully in a lossless format).
@GypsRoccus Indeed it is! Great leitmotif!
Aha, had a feeling it was done by John Franklin! He's a great composer! He did loads of stuff for Golding Leisure, including Apirama at Meli Park. He was actually part of the New Seekers band before he moved to making music for Theme Parks.
With the recent announcement of Euro Mir at @europa_park closing this season, to brighten everyone's mood up a bit, below is a recreation of the Rides Logo.
Now, the logo has been online for years, but in low quality. So I decided to open Adobe Illustrator and change that!
@craig_toy By far the original!
Better theme, memorable soundtrack, no in your face story telling or 'lore'. Eerie atmosphere too!
And smoother as well IMO.
The only real improvement Reborn has over the original is the stations interior. Everything else is a downgrade personally.
Cataloguing Film Collections
Film is Fabulous! are pleased to announce that three film collections, which belong to former industry professionals, or their estates, will be catalogued in the new year.
@olibarnacle Ah, that's a shame. If you or who has it ever want to restore it though, try baking it, its a process many Reel users do with old tapes before digitisation. I hear that does temporarily restore the higher frequencies (if they're missing or degraded) albeit for a week or 2.
@ThemeParkWW Absolutely the original! Black is just a very tacky and unimaginative colour. I just can't see the appeal behind it. The track and creature looked batter when it actually looked more organic, like an actual lovecraftian creature.
@DarkRideArts Here's what I mean. There's a great documentary of The Original Haunted House, in which guns were added later, but mostly remained the same aside from a few props, audio changes, and a scene replaced. It looked phenomenal!

No lore, just a basic premise
@DarkRideArts No, even worse... announcements in the area saying safety spells about the creatures and how the organisation is taking care of things... and a random TV in the queue of a scientist explaining unnecessary lore.
It could be worse though, it could be Curse at Alton Manor.
