Terminator® Salvation™: The Ride

Terminator Salvation The Ride is on the way out. An executive decision to drop the name for financial reasons means six flags will drop the name in favor for a homage name Apocalypse. Maybe the Halycon Co. is asking for too much money for them to hold the title on the ride. This also means sign changes, the music on the speakers and dialogue & footage from Barnes (Common) & Blair Williams (Moon Bloodgood) which was exclusively filmed for the entrace to the ride. The ride saw you being trained for the resistance "while you waited to get on the ride". Videos of Blair and Barnes guided you through the story and once on the ride a mixture of sound, music and "fly thru" moments spruce the ride up to have a Terminator Salvation feel to it. The ride was a wooden coaster to the max and did fit the image of Salvation, however lack of success attached to this movie meant the ride had a shorter life than anticipated.

Obviously Terminator Salvation not being the success it claimed it was going to be has effected this. Afterall T2: 3D is still going strong on the basis that T2 was a hit!
