Ahhh the magic rumors. You mean the ones we've been hearing aboot for the last 5 years? Is this after or before Jaws?

I'd drop a few quarters in that if it had a bash toy for every band member...

The coin slots will be Chad's nose, upside down.

Given that they're re-theming Tower of Terror as Guardian's of the Galaxy and it's literally right next to Rockin' Rollercoaster, I doubt they're re-theme it to GotG, too.

I only really heard Iron Maiden strongly the past year or so, from enough places that I believe it.

They are not redoing the ToT in Hollywood Studios.. only the one in DCA at this time. Where to put GotG was the debate.. ToT or UoE.. and fans immediatedly turned and said 'do it in RnRC'. No love for Aerosmith there really.. the like the rollercoaster and hate the preshow. The alley is pretty cool for a themed environment, but the attraction could be changed to another theme and most would applaud.

wiki says 90 million worldwide.
puts it much farther up the list.

Re-theme it into a Tron coaster.

Yeah album sales are notoriously tough to look up. Billboard vs RIAA it's just a headache.

I think after Disney shit-canned the sequel that's not likely. Sorry; not bloody likely.

Disney already pulled electronica out of DCA several years back. It was a little disappointing, but at least the folks at Disney sometimes know when a particular theme has run it's course and pull it before it becomes too stale.

Man, TOT into Guardians of the Galaxy?

Worst idea ever. Jesus.

Next thing you know, they'll be taking out the classic Country Jamboree Bears and replacing it with some shit 4th rate Winnie the Pooh ride through. Oh wait ... They already did that.

Disney is going down in my estimations. Daily.

I've been saying that since they pulled out the Jr. Autopia and put up It's a Small World in it's place.

Small World is so crusty .. But it's iconic.

I can't wait till Disney rethemes it to WHAT COUNTRIES WILL IRONMAN SMASH UP TODAY instead. That'll be awesome. Not.

rd

Yet they used TRON lightcycles as an anchor attraction in the brand new Shanghi park that just opened (and its awesome btw)

That quote is from 2015, so you have to realize that everything else on the 2008 list I quoted from sold more, too. They're probably in roughly the same area.

Yeah, it was announced about a month ago after being rumored for like a year:

It was like my first trip to Disneyland I remember as we drove down Harbor you could see all the little kids driving those midget cars. It was my favorite ride of the day.

Next time all I could see from the street was new construction . They had completed all the blue channels for the boats on small world. Cars all gone.

First time I went there was 1982. I think pretty much all the rides from then have gone now. Except Matterhorn and some fantasyland rides.

rd

They really screwed up Tomorrowland with it's most recent makeover. Back when they first redid it it was awesome. I may be one of the only people that has ridden all three versions of this ride.

WTF, no kidding, that's total BS.

That is great F ing ride.

I've been to amusement parks all over the world, and ridden most of the great coasters in the world. I'm hard to impress.

IMO Tower of Terror is as good a ride as you'll get, anywhere.

And the best ride in a Disney park by miles.

rd

Tower of Terror is great! I heard the one at Disney World is a slightly different ride than the one out west.

Soon Disneyland will be nothing but Star Wars, Marvel and Frozen.

Glad they priced me out of there already. And I'm not alone. I had my fill.

Me too man. Last time I was there, it was like $149 bucks each for a one day, two park pass.

Knotts Berry Farm is $39 on Internet sales. Magic Mountain is like $49.

Mind you, it didn't stop anyone going there. The place was packed on a Wednesday. So who can blame them for cranking in the cash, I guess.

rd

I remember when that place was closed Mondays and Tuesdays. lol. Up till a few years ago we could get a pretty sweet deal on a So Cal pass which was great while taking the kid now and then. But now it's outrageous, more crowded than ever, and they keep on removing all the cool stuff. Knotts and Magic Mountain for me too.

But from where I live I can still see their fireworks every night, and that's free.

Sorry to over side track this thread, but when you grew up in the shadow of that place it's hard not to.

The new TRON coaster at Disney China is bad assed and 60MPH

That's would be a crazy pin, but JJP would do a better building it !

I totally hate Aerosmith. One good song, Sweet Emotion, then piles and piles of crap. Talk about a theme that's going to bomb instantly.

Yeah I have seen that and that is what I had in mind for a re-theme of Rock 'n' Rollercoaster.

Exactly. A rethemed TWD would be perfect for that crap band.

And I totally hate games of thrones and walking dead (the shows). I don't understand how tv show pins can sell anything. Talk about low value pins in 10 years when no one remembers the show.

If I was heading to China I think I might take my chances on this one.

Coming from you that's funny.

You guys have opened a Pandora's Box.

My main worry is that Tyler will want himself all over the game....mick on a stick part 2.

I doubt they will include that song. Or Lord of The Thighs for that matter.

People are going to line up, watch. Color LCD and Lyman and hand drawn art, all the bitching about the band will fade away.

It's competing with Alien, so selfishly I could wish for it to bomb (not that the audiences really compete theme-wise) but I just don't think it will. Too many things for pinheads to get all hyped up and excited about, and that starts a frenzy. We all know how Pinside gets!

Two themes from the 70s competing with each other. A dream come true...

Cool ride. And cool vid. "I am moderately terrified right now!"

rd

If game is good with nice art and the best of their music, I will buy one.

As Aurich said, people will still line up for Aerosmith....if it's Dirty Donny art and new display, I don't think they will be screwing this one up. They'll include all the "cool" Aerosmith songs and leave out the ballads. The usual angry mob will go quiet and people will go on to whinge about the next title or playfield issue.

One band that deserves a pin and not on the list (as will not have most sales) is Motorhead. I wish for someone to make one day or NHL pin done right. I know Lemmy always wnated one made from last interviews. At least we got one song in the Mustang pin.

My point is not every theme is for everyone. I waited for two years with cash in hand for a nib theme I cared about.

Don't rule spooky out. Maybe Motörhead would get made by them?

Hand drawn artwork is a must, I wouldnt part with my Luci, just wish the playfield had the same artwork That photo shop art Blows, If its done right Im in

Just an FYI, they are not retheming Tower of Terror in Florida (thank god!) just the one in California, which is not as good as the Florida version.

Aerosmith chatter has gone quiet since Batman 66 flyer came out. Is Aerosmith a code name for a Borg/Lyman/Dirty Donny Iron Maiden pin?

Dirty Donny just posted this to Facebook. An old photo of himself wearing a Maiden tshirt. Is he currently working on an Iron Maiden project?

FB_IMG_1473934682653 (resized).jpg

I certainly hope so. Aerosmith, I would consider playing. Maiden, I would consider buying.

Just a thought I had. Remember someone stating they heard the code name "toys" and everyone said that must be aerosmith referencing toys in the attic?
With the batman 66 release they mentioned the sle having even more toys on it. Maybe they are referring to the jokers line "where does he get all those wonderful toys" er something like that. Of course I know that line form batman staring Michael Keaton. Not sure if it's a reoccurring thing with the joker.

Just a thought. Not a rumer or backed by anything.
