Theme Rides Based on MSTed Movies

Alert reader Mimi writes:

It’s County Fair time all over the nation. Batter-dipped bacon time, for many. But it also means rides. Specifically, theme rides.
So, if you could base a ride on an episode, what would it be?

The “The-Incredibly-Strange-Creatures-Who-Stopped-Living-And-Became-Mixed-Up-Zombies Rollercoaster” is an obvious choice, but what about the “Wanda Saknussemm Fall to the Center of the Earth!” or, of course, “Torgo’s Shake Shack.”

How about: the Radar Secret Service ride, which you just drive straight and level for a while, then stop.

What’s your idea?

    The “Eight Miles High” Mighty Jack car in a net ride! Ride with the JFK look a like!

    Ride the spinning Gamera! ’nuff said!

    Face the horrors of riding in Santa’s Sleigh with those wind up haunted reindeer! You will be scarred for life!

    Finally, ride the Night Train to Mundo Fine, while John Carradine insists the ride is called Red Zone Cuba!

    The Wild, Wild Tilt-a-Whirl of Batwoman. It’ll leave you dizzy, sick and confused, just like the movie.

    The “Sidehacker” ride starts above ground with motorcycles + sidecars on a track. It twists and turns, eventually disappears into an underground tunnel where someone is raped and killed, then emerges again, stops abruptly, and pitches everyone off the bikes and into a stone wall where everyone still alive is killed.

    Ride the exciting Kobras ride in Pumaman World. Put on the magic belt and then get behind the wheel of your very own Aztec Mask from the gods! make sure you say “Wheeee!” as your platform slowly rises several feet in the air. Two feet, to be exact. Not responsible for any hair loss that may occur.

    On a related note, you will also find yourself shouting “Wheee” as you careen through the sand on the Wild Ride of Mr. Eegah attraction strapped into your dune-buggy-like car. Watch out for snakes, and watch out for guest villains Deeny from “Mitchell,” Buzz from Girl in Gold Boots, and Prince from H.A.R.M., as they pilot their own amphibious go-karts in the sand.

    My ideas:

    -A go-kart track in which the cars include the Space Mutiny “floor polisher”, the Rowsdower Mobile, Megaweapon, and the dune buggies from Eegah!, Girl in Gold Boots, and Blood Waters of Dr. Z;

    -A “Journey to the Center of the Earth” Mole People ride;

    -A submarine ride inside Gamera (this actually happens in one of the non-MiSTied Gamera films);

    -Stage shows featuring The Great Vorelli (with Hugo) and the “strippers” from The Incredibly Strange Creatures;

    -The Hitler Building (a pavillion a la the various attractions at Epcot Center).

    Ah, the MST3Karnival… Twirl and hurl on the Gamera Tilt-a-whirl! Get wet and woozie from bloodloss on the Giant Leech Waterslide! Lose inches off your waist, thighs, and buttocks on the Tor Johnson’s Belly Trampoline! Then it’s time to take a little break at the Jan-in-the-Pancakes consession stand – tell them “Daddy, I want a Coke!” and win a free Pepsi! Restrooms conveniently located in case you feel a Sinister Urge. Then it’s off to ride the Whip and win a free kitten! Rides’ gotcha feelin’ a little urpy? Ride the Stranded in SpaceMountain ride to the Ward E Infermary for a rainy-day epicac! Finally, ride the Creeping Terror Magical Flying Carpet as it ever-so-slowly returns you to the parking lot where one of our highly trained valet attendents, Dick Contino, Ben Murphy or Don Sullivan, will be happy to bring your car around. Y’all come back soon!

    Sea World? Well we have Undersea World. Climb aboard the submarine SS Billy and visit the Undersea Kingdom: a world leagues below the sea complete with air and sunlight. See Unga-Khan’s castle, ride in a war tank, have your picture taken next to a walking water heater, or just stand on the Crash Corrigan Cliffs and enjoy the view of the ocean from beneath the… ocean.

    Or try the Rocketship Simulator: experience blasting off into space and dodging popcorn–I mean asteroids.

    I think we need some more Puma-Man rides.

    1) The Puma-Man flying coaster. You too can fly like PumaMan. The ride’s swivel seats help you point your butt in the air.

    2) Always wanted a fake-looking head that resembles you? Just stop by Kobras’ head-shaping hut. It won’t cost much…just your will.

    3) Want to get away from the kids? Leave them at “Vadinho Discover of the Gods” stage production, where your children will learn all about the Gods who travel in beachballs, and never come down lest Man not ‘stay free.’

    4) Want to give the kids a workout? Send them into the ‘Kobras bounce-house,’ where everything is bouncy. You too can take flying leaps just like Puma-Man!
