Until I joined this dicussion I never talked to anyone who had some of an opinion about the Maliboomer. Anyone.....?
Originally Posted By mickeymorris1234 Sorin, ToT, Grizzly River Run, and TSMM, great rides! Maliboomer just never fit the Disney theme, I mean, come on - A bell at the top? I cannot wait for the rest of the pier to get the victorian theme upgrade, the details are amazing! Now if only there was a way to pretty up Screamin I will be a happy camper. I think my biggest problem with the ride was it was just so ugly. Look around the resort and anything that sticks up high in the air are amazing looking. Grizzly, Matterhorn, ToT all highly detailed. Boomer stuck out like a sore thumb with it's tacky theme and hideous design. Plus why do you need Boomer when you have ToT which is a million times better. As you said yourself, you can get the same view from ToT that you got from Boomer. The final nail for Boomer is the fact the pier now has a whole new theme. A theme that Boomer could not fit into period no matter what they did.

You know what Im saying? I just wish they did at least one more drop sequence.

Originally Posted By Jim in Merced CA Screamin' works within the theme of Condor Flats, true. But let's face it, they chose an 'airplane hangar' -- not exactly a tough one to theme. And you're right about the queue, Hans. It is dreadful. Maybe they should have gotten U.S. Concrete to sponsor -- although they're having trouble in this economy too.

Originally Posted By avatarmickey115 I think Screamin' could use a big overhaul as well. The theme of the ride is, well, the theme is pretty weak, but it has one. You are supposed to be surfing and the blue tubes on the hills are supposed to be half-pipes. They used to make waves using those machines under the boardwalk but I guess they don't do that anymore because I don't see them working. Anyways, I think they could spruce up the ride by doing the following things: NEW TRAINS: that have a similar look to these: <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_YdK8L69c6M&feature=related#t=01m01s" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...t=01m01s</a> I was thinking the front of the car could look like the top of those towers, but the problem is, that wouldn't fit to the theme: surfing. So, maybe if they could make a nice, cool-lookin' train that looks like an old surfboard, but not too cartoonish or plasticky. I don't know..... NEW MUSIC (re-themed): Maybe something sounding more vintage, but still have an upbeat, ragtime-ish sound to it. THE QUEUE!!!: Maybe something that looks more like TSMM or just a surf shack. Add music and interactive scenes to the queue. Not as boring and just zig-zag the whole way. Yes, making it less compact would obviously push the line out the front, but I'm sure they can figure something out Also, the front sign would change obviously, to whatever the queue looks like. THE SUPPORTS: I know Walt didn't want a wooden roller coaster in is parks, but maybe they could change the look of the supports to not be wooden-looking, but something else. I'm not sure what, but it's Disney, once again, they'll think of something. The track also includes the ugly half-pipe tubes that just look like dirty metal. I think they should enclose the entire tops and put 360 screens around them and make it look like your riding through a wave. Ehhh, maybe not. Just a thought. But it would look better having a complete tunnel than half blue and half white metal rings. Maybe a new coat of paint, maybe change some of the colors? So there's my idea. I'm gonna copy this and put it in a new thread but I wanted to just respond elaborately to the people who have been talking about Screamin' on this tread.

By the way, have you been able to hear the voice of the little blonde girl calling to you from inside the walls of the upper loading area? When we have mentioned it to the others in line with us none of them ever noticed it before. Very cool, if you are dorky like me....
