thread_title: File:SmallWorldCanCan wb.jpg Nominated for Deletion

message: Just wondering if it would be relevant to add examples of dark rides or ghost trains in media, such as the scene in the graphic novel The Killing Joke. It's pretty important to the story and pretty important that it's a dark ride.
I think one of the Final Fantasy games includes a minigame that has you on a ride similar to a 'shooting dark ride'. In fact, any on-rail shooting game could be seen as a virtual shooting dark ride, I guess. (Not sure if there's any verification or source for that though).
These are just a couple of examples, there are probably a tonne more. This is just a suggestion, It might not be relevant enough to add to the page.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.234.173.208 (talk) 03:30, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Killing Joke 

message: The last sentence of the second paragraph is "Disney's it's a small world is an example of a brightly lit dark ride." At first I thought "it's a small world" should be capitalized, but I went to that page, and it states "It's a Small World (stylized as "it's a small world" by The Walt Disney Company)," so lower-case is correct, but I do feel it should at least be in quotations. As a precedent, it is, in fact, in quotations on it's own page. I am going to try to change this, but I'm not very computer savvy, so if the fact that the words are a link may screw me up, if I can't figure it out I'll leave it as is, and hopefully someone smarter will read this and fix it.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.250.217.144 (talk) 17:04, 27 April 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  it's a small world 

message: I'm not sure if the list is meant to be comprehensive or illustrative but I thought I'd put in a word for the following dark rides (I'm afraid I've no idea when they opened): The Oxford Story (closed 28 October 2007, more at http://www.thisisoxfordshire.co.uk/news/1730174.Oxford_Story_to_close/), Tower Hill Pageant (not sure when it closed, info is hard to come by on Google but found this http://archaeologydataservice.ac.uk/archiveDS/archiveDownload?t=arch-457-1/dissemination/pdf/vol06/vol06_13/06_13_351_352.pdf), Jorvik Viking Centre (ride appears to be open still, judging from their latest interactive map, looks like it opened in 2001 http://jorvik-viking-centre.co.uk/about-jorvik/jorvik-in-2001/) JoBrodie (talk) 22:10, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Additional dark rides 

message: The dark rides mentioned as being in the same "show building" are not really all in the same building in the usual sense of the word.  The Peter Pan, Mr. Toad, and Alice rides are arguably in one building, but the Snow White and Pinocchio rides are in a different building.  Both buildings touch (but aren't really part of) the Sleeping Beauty Castle.  I'm not sure how to write that concisely, but examining (for example) the Google Maps view https://www.google.com/maps/@33.8131369,-117.9188544,19z or the satellite view of the same position makes it pretty clear that the connection between the buildings is just a connecting wall/facade.

thread_title:  New Ref 

message: An edit from the 28th of June 17 added Symbolica at Efteling as a trackless ride not following a wire but being fully wireless (based on wifi and rfid).
This is not what is claimed by ETF (the manufacturer) on their website.
They have two pages relevant to this matter
 * this one: http://www.etf.nl/ride-systems/company/news/etf-multi-movers-at-eftelings-palace-of-fantasy claims that the ride system used is "an ETF Trackless Multi Mover"
 * and then this page : http://www.etf.nl/ride-systems/products/etf-multi-mover which explains that the trackless multi mover are following a wire.

thread_title:  Trackless dark rides 

message: Should the ride "Maelstrom" from Epcot and its replacement "Frozen Ever After" be added to the list of dark rides? They are both dark ride/water rides like Blackpool's Valhalla. In fact, Maelstrom is described as a dark ride on its own Wikipedia page. Frozen Ever After is not, but it fits all the criteria to be described as a dark ride. However, there might be some reason why these aren't on the list that I'm missing. 73.153.176.220 (talk) 01:23, 11 January 2020 (UTC)
