Stargate In Six Flags??? Wow....I'm exited

[Cpt.McLane]

Well as far as I know it is still there, but the Spacepark Bremen is closed because of to less investors. So they run out of money.
The Park should become a big attraction with a Stargate ride, a Star Trek Borg Invasion 4-D ride and many more attractions. There was also an exhebition about the history of space flight (Bremen is an important city in production of ESA space satellites and space technology) .
The concept did not work. Maybe because Bremen is in the north of Germany. Such an attraction in the "Ruhrgebiet" or "Nordrhein Westfalen" would have worked much better, because it´s much closer to the Netherlands, Belgium and Nordrhein Westfalen has a lot of Airports (Cologne-Bonn, Dusseldorf, Dortmund, Muenster, Paderborn-Lippstadt) for Fans from France, Italy, UK...

I cannot remember the story of the ride, because my visit was in 2003. All I can say is that it had nothing to do with SG-1. The ride started in a SGC room and ended in a very cheap looking simulator where you saw a simulation movie about a fight with an Goa´uld.

Sound like a total flop then.

PassmoreLab Converting MGM's Stargate SG-3000 Thrill Ride Visuals to 3-D

April 30, 2009

Updated simulator visuals will bring riders even further into the Stargate experience.

San Diego (PRWEB) April 30, 2009 -- PassmoreLab is collaborating with MGM Location Based Entertainment to convert MGM's Stargate SG-3000 simulator ride film from 2-D to 3-D. Stargate SG-3000 is a four-minute simulation experience based on MGM's long running Stargate SG-1 television series.

... "Stargate SG-3000's conversion to 3-D will make riders feel even more like they're really experiencing the sensation of going through a Stargate," said PassmoreLab President Greg Passmore. "The new and improved simulation film will add depth to the attraction and will be a hit with existing Stargate fans as well as those unfamiliar with the television series."

"We are pleased to be working with PassmoreLab to enhance the overall Stargate SG-3000 experience," said George Wade, Senior Vice President, MGM Location Based Entertainment. "With the upcoming premier of SGU: Stargate Universe on the Sci-Fi Channel later this year we felt there was no better opportunity to truly take guests on this enhanced journey through the Stargate and no one better to bring this to reality than the team at PassmoreLab."

Stargate SG-3000 has been featured at Six Flags Marine World in Vallejo, California and Six Flags Kentucky Kingdom in Louisville, as well as Lotte World in Seoul Korea since 2004. The ride debuted at the Space Center Bremen in Germany in December 2003 to rave reviews...

Ohh, now that sounds fun. And talk about free advertising for the franchise for the studio! Could bring in countless new viewers.

And I live close enough to Six Flags to go!
