TMNT Theme Park Ride coming! - Page 2

Maybe they are building it out of the USA to make sure the ride works, you know, in case it breaks and people get hurt. We all know how sue happy the USA is, which is one of the reasons why everything is getting expensive, and fun things to do are disappearing.

If it turns out to be a big hit, the ride will probably make it's way to a Universal or Nickelodeon theme park. Wonder if the TMNT ride will be as fun as The Simpsons or The Mummy ride??!!??

That's what I was wondering. WHY is this thing being built there, where probably no one has even heard of a mutant, let alone a mutant turtle, when Disney Land or even Six Flags is more appropriate?

Warhorse: That's JUST what I Was going to add on. maybe it's so dangerous a ride to test, they have more freedom is something goes wrong in Korea

So what are you guys saying, that they're testing the ride in South Korea in case it breaks down and someone gets killed? Granted it would be worse publicity in the U.S., but I somehow doubt that is the reason.

The TMNT are ninja's with ties to Japan, that's why the name was changed in South Korea because of the Japanese aspects of the story. Kind of like how "ninja" was changed to "hero" in the UK back in the day.

I doubt any of us will go on this ride in person. I certainly wouldn't risk a plane flight to South Korea. Especially in times when North Korea is nuclear active. Good Lord.

A lot of the best theme park rides are in foreign countries. They're expanding and adding a new ride so they chose a popular property like TMNT to be a part of it. WTF is the big deal? You guys over analyze everything.

According to the article, 4Kids and Mirage just gave the South Korean theme park permission to use their TMNT-related properties. They weren't the ones who made the decision to build it there.

Not everyone on the forums is like that. Far from it, actually.

I think the only bad thing I can see about this is that no one would want to go to South Korea in these dangerous times, so the only people who would ride it are the South Koreans. I'd love to see TMNT have a ride in the US, but I do think it's neat that the Turtles are getting exposure in other places.

Maybe they will. After all, it turns out that it's not a new TMNT-themed amusement park after all, but an existing one receiving TMNT decor. Such a conversion should be able to be done anywhere there is an amusement park.
