Apparently the new movie is coming out through a different studio than in the past which probably confuses who has licensing to what.NewsPlusNoteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13977080329095890499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11566212.post-47559703149437498452008-06-28T17:14:00.000-04:002008-06-28T17:14:00.000-04:00Doesn't Universal have the exclusive license to th...Doesn't Universal have the exclusive license to the Terminator franchise?careerinfunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14841932369795168551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11566212.post-62634303323201284782008-06-25T14:50:00.000-04:002008-06-25T14:50:00.000-04:00If I had to guess there won't be too much theming ...If I had to guess there won't be too much theming on the ride and it will probably be as themed as its 'Evel Knevel' counterpart.<BR/><BR/>If they name it after a popular summer movie (much like there doing with The Dark Knight this year) its an easy way to create 'buzz' and cross promotion.The Legendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03443089139869360734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11566212.post-66402776883846927002008-06-25T09:11:00.000-04:002008-06-25T09:11:00.000-04:00Thanks for the comment guys!

You all made good points.<BR/><BR/>I suppose that wood coaster theming does have a sterotype attached to it - but even if you throw that out the window and start anew I'm still not sure that I can see a Terminator theme making sense!<BR/><BR/>I do give Six Flags points for theming at all, though. It's a great move on their part to bring back ride theming.NewsPlusNoteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13977080329095890499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11566212.post-9288717627560672052008-06-25T01:42:00.000-04:002008-06-25T01:42:00.000-04:00Terriffic news!

Can't we move past this stereotype of wooden coasters and recognize they are just as enjoyable in present times? <BR/><BR/>Great to see so much great theming coming out of Six Flags these days- I think you can argue they are doing more theming than EVER- including the Warner Bros days. Six Flags has no studio attached and seems to have no problem with licensing arrangements.

What will they do? Spray paint the whole thing silver and put red splats here and there? I don't see how they can tie those two together.<BR/>I almost wish they had thought of a superhero or something original (like they did with El Toro). Oh well. Maybe they'll pull it off?Tori Simba Finn Esquirehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17685996971275565162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11566212.post-56252946343725438522008-06-24T23:14:00.000-04:002008-06-24T23:14:00.000-04:00Yeah, I don't see it either.
