So earlier I was reading the post on this forum about the revamps that were made at Knotts Berry Farm including the remodel and upgrade of their log flume dark ride. That got me to thinking...what if we got a revamped or upgraded Boo Blasters?

What would you like to see done differently? How could that ride be made better or what would you like to see in that building instead? What are some of your ideas?

Here's an idea I had the other day while standing in line with my fiance waiting to ride it. One thing I'd like to have for that ride is a reason to be doing what I'm doing. What's the story? Where are we at? Why am I blasting boos? I know there's a small sign right before the loading area that talks about defeating Boocifer or whatever, but why do I even care that I'm at some manor blasting boos?

What I'd really like to see is some kind of a narrator character set up in the lobby, perhaps on the balcony where Maestro used to sit. It can be a fun, relatable character that's talking to the crowd while we're waiting. This character could tell the story of the manor and how the boos came to take it over. He can explain your mission and why you need to blast the boos. He could sort of give you a goal and make you want to blast them. This character would obviously be an animatronic. Also, this character could have great marketing potential. He could be the official mascot of Boo Blasters. They could feature this character on T-shirts, mugs, keychains, etc. and would give the guests something to look forward to seeing, a relatable and recognizable character.

Also, it might be fun to see some old photos hanging around in the lobby. Maybe portraits of past residents of the manor. They could be drawn cartoony and fun, in sort of a "painted" style.

These things, I feel, would add an amazing element to this ride. I just feel like every time I'm standing in that lobby waiting, I look up at the cardboard ghosts going up and down and I think to myself, "I feel like I know nothing about this ride, about my mission or my goal other than blasting boos." I feel like this would be a pretty great upgrade if it could ever come to pass!

So in other words... you want a mixture of the old Phantom Theater mixed with Scooby Doo ride?
