Las Vegas Attractions News/Updates

[Parkscope Joe]

Yeah I really want to see a video on this. That ride looked waaaay ahead of its time. It looked like it was a cross between Star Tours and Battle at the Ministry.

OG Spider-Man!

My white whale is a video of Deep Earth Exploration.

If you ever do find a video, share it on here! I've spent so many hours looking for scraps of footage from that entire MGM Grand Adventures park. It's crazy how an entire theme park can just vanish almost without a trace, but I guess that's the same sad story for so many themed attractions in Vegas. Now seems like we're about to add a few more to the list.

I loved that park

I went once and it was really fun. Besides investing all my money in crypto the second thing I'd do if I went back in time is record and take wayyyy more photos of things in Vegas and the theme park. Its kinda of insane how much history is just lost

I don't think so, I remember the Log ride with Big Foot, the Betty Boop show but nothing at that level of Deep Earth Exploration

Deep Earth also famously never worked correctly. Which is why any filmed version of the ride is a white whale.

Total longshot but it would be great if they can get the Desperado open even if it takes a full retrack from Vekoma. I need that credit.

 

[BriefCasey]

Me too. I hope they see the value in having that coaster online if they look at any business strategies. I'd totally try to go on it again if it reopens.

This absolutely had to happen. A lot of people don't realize that hundreds of people who work there also live there and were all about to be evicted and thrown out on the street.

I loved the Prim growing up and even last year staying a Buffalo Bills, I enjoyed my self.

No Idea if it can get back to where it was but I like it being open vs having nothing for like 40 mins until Vegas

I'm glad for the works and hope they can bring it back in some way with some small changes every year
