Some people are preferring a dark ride over the next coaster in BGT (they deem BGT to have too many coasters, which is bogus. IMO, there's no such thing as too much when it comes to thrills). I was thinking... maybe after the coaster is done, they could go with this idea from jamesdusoleil at Florida Thrills:
"in case yall missed it...i made that picture about 2-3 years ago...this idea is very do-able. it would be complicated though because it would mean shutting down the main road into the park for a short time.
but let me explain the picture....
when it was made, they were just doing haunted houses in Akbar and they still had the clydesdales in the hamlet. i had never imagined they would be removing the clydesdales or leaving Akbar unocupied for so long.
but here was my vision in full...back then...
stage 1.
they would first make handicap and preferred parking handicap only. it would do two things. make more handicap parking spots AND give us more room in Egypt for expansion. we do desperately need more dedicated handicap spots agreed? preferred would be done like they have at SeaWorld or Busch Gardens Europe. use a color coding system and base it around the trams. the preferred spots would be closer to the tram stops. that would make the extra fees actually worth it because even in the preferred parking now...it feels like im actually walking a lot farther to get into the park than i would have parking near the tram stop and just riding the tram to the entrance. as for the reduced spots i say build a small two level garage in the south east parking lot. it is already lower in elevation then the rest of the lot. just build one more level over it. it will not be that high because of the already low elevation and will not be that much of an eye sore to residents.
Stage 2.
they could start construction with the dark ride main building and renovation of King Tut and another arch similar to the Montu arch. King tut will be the preshow and holding with new special effects and still using the origional storyline and automated doors. you would enter into the tomb with the film showing history clips of the excovation of the tomb and then Tut will burn the film to take over and force people into his tomb. he gives his usual tour room by room and then at the end he dares people to go deeper into his tomb. you would climb up some steps into the arch and begins holding and the tomb seems to be getting more sinister with some special effects and a more haunting and evil soundtrack. then you would board the ride. the whole structure would be egyptian themed..of course...and in the front of the building they would have a giftshop and a resturant or snack bar all themed like a Egyptian market.
im sure if they needed room they could just take out Akbar. but for this project Tut will be closed and refurbished. the games of chance, current snack bar and the Egyptian artifact gift shop will be gone. the sidewalk will be detoured around behind the tomb via EOA and will take them to the Montu area.
OH I FORGOT TO MENTION ABOVE MY HANDICAP PLANS.
they would enter through a special handicap elevator in the market. it would take them upstairs and they will enter a small room with a video projector showing the same video that is in the preshow. then they would enter the ride loading area."
This idea rocks!!! =D
Maybe they can also go with this concept from MACK Rides:

Okay, BEST IDEA FOR A DARK RIDE EVER!!!!
So after the coaster is done, they should go with this idea.
And here is the link to the place where I got it from. Just go to the link I gave to see the pic that person mentioned, and the next page for the quote.
