Has anyone ridden Stargate 3000 yet? I personally don't like that ride because I'm not a game fanatic type of person. To me the Dinosaur, Halloween one, and the original Space Shuttle America were much better, but you get sick of seeing the same show over and over again.
in my opinion it's not like a roller coaster or flat where the ride isn't the same everytime (the feeling of it because technically most rides are the same all the time except Zipper, Chaos, and so on excluding weather conditions).
Considering that WDW has an MGM studios (Stargate is made by MGM), you think that they would put a motion simulator ride over there. I would personally like to see an indoor roller coaster in Space Shuttle America like Space Mountain.
I would love it if they had a trip through cartoon town like Looney Toons, Flinstones, Jetsons, Yogi, Scooby-Doo, Batman and more of SF material, not some game, (if it is a game) I never heard of.
I seriously think if many of us were famaliar with the show/movies that simulator would be really cool to us. On opening day when I saw my at the end I was just totally speechless looking very confused, my friend was all "Wow that was really cool! I loved how they made that!"

Something like Batman, Superman, Scooby-Doo, or Looney Tunes (I'm not sure Looney Toons, or Looney Tunes) would appeal to a bigger audience. Who doesn't know about these? Even though the Train Ride wasn't that great during Fright Fest, it was crowded because alot of people like Scooby-Doo.
Thanks for the info w00dland that it's a tv show and a movie.
The MGM is "Disney-MGM Studios" is just a name. MGM the corporation recieves a royalty fee from Disney for the licensing to attatch "MGM" to the park name, as well as royalties for liscensing the Indiana Jones and Star Wars attractions, and they opened with the park. Other than that, no new MGM productions or properties have gone into that theme park. MGM has no creative input at all.
CBS still owns the Twilight Zone liscense. So they get a royalty fee as well.
Actually, Disney recently dropped the "MGM", it's now just Disney Studios. Something about contract talks going bad. They are still going to be able to keep the MGM liscenced rides, but they had to take the "MGM" out of the name.
I heard about this on E! a few weeks ago, and more recently on "Good Day Live".
Thanks for the info that MGM does not put anymore property into the park anymore. I guess that's how MGM can have Little Mermaid, Who Wants to Be A Millionaire, and an Arrowsmith ride.
Do you like the motion simulator of Stargate SG 3000 or not? If not, what could be done to fix the ride?
They should have lived up to the press release and made it like the excellent show it is. Oh well Captain Hank still Haunts us. I say use that spot for a mojor new coaster!

How so? I am not trying to be offensive but I am just wondering.
Ive been on the go carts 5 times, of those 5 time, 3 times security has had to haul away rowdy teenagers that are not only endangering the slves, but others.
Last time i was there a group of "hoodilums" Went into a corner and knocked a lady driving with her say 5 or 6 year old daughter in the passenger seat over the steel rim and into the gravel, that is a very dangerous situation, but I was pleases with how SF handled it, they had security take the kids, made them was their hands thouroghly and escorted them out of the park

Not yet. Officially its still called "Disney-MGM" but the Disney theme park nuts havent called it that in a few years, its just been "The Studios" or "Disney Studios". I think that the name will get shortened to that or "The Walt Disney Studios"
Back when the park was built, MGM (the movie studio) was under different ownership. Its changed hands several times and the current owners dont want to renew something they have no input on. Actually, MGM no longer owns its own studio/backlot/production facilities. They were sold to Sony when MGM went bankrupt in the 1980's
