Alien and Predator have both featured at the Horror Mazes that Universal does. I think RidgeTop enjoyed both ones quite a lot.

Brave man! Given my case of creeps playing Isolation on a 55" TV, no way I'm gonna immerse myself into a Horror Maze with the damned creatures!  :D

Or at least, it would have...

One of the things that potentially sucks about not only these parks having their Aliens and Predator content rolled back, but also just Disney taking over the franchises in general, is I fear we'll never end up seeing either of them get the full-on theme park treatment they deserve.

Just imagine an "Aliens/Predator" land at one of the major parks that was basically a colony compound set in a jungle environment, so you had the Aliens half slowly merging into the Predator half with the appropriate rides and theming in each area. It could be fantastic! A dark ride where you've got to escape an Alien attack, only then Predators show up as well? Other rides too, but I loves me some dark rides, so dark rides!!

But Disney's never going to do a whole area given over to R-rated properties in their parks (we all know how that original Alien/Nostromo pitch turned out, and even then they got rid of The Extra-Terror-Restrial Alien Encounter that it morphed into), and even though it'd literally be money for nothing, I doubt they'd want to licence something that big out to Universal either.

So much potential we'll probably never see fully realised.....

That could've been such a sweet Aliens or AVP ride... The Indoor SFX Coaster reminds me of the Harry Potter Gringotts ride at Universal Florida, though this one looks like it's more intense.

Here's a video showing the concept by Dynamic Attractions, and thanks ahmad_ for pointing this out: http://dynamicattractions.com/products/coasters/

You're making me sad! I guess this will just be some generic space theme now going along with Andromeda Base.

Might've at one time been a pyramid theme on the inside? Seen in this video: https://vimeo.com/477361801?embedded=true&source=vimeo_logo&owner=126765552 We know the Dubai one was going to be a colony setting and more of a motion sim / dark ride hybrid: https://www.avpgalaxy.net/2021/02/27/cancelled-dubai-avp-dark-ride-and-land-revealed-with-concept-art/

I guess it's not a space theme, I managed to ask a question to the head of the theme park on Facebook his name is Greg Pearn he said the theme for sfx coaster is still in the works and it's a secret maybe from Universal IP?

Hey all, I put together an extensive piece on this cancelled land.

Check it out here: https://www.avpgalaxy.net/avp-descent-into-darkness-the-cancelled-malaysia-rides-land/

Also put together a video if you feel so inclined: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpmoMcOOuWE

Hope you enjoy.

Wow, huge deep dive worth of stuff here. I don't have the time to go through it all now, but just skimmed some of the part pieces and video clips and there's a lot to really pour over. Can't wait to sit with this in full later on!

Cosmic Incubation

‪Great video @RidgeTop ! Really cool seeing all the detailed concepts and plans for these AVP rides!

Darkness

Seriously good work. The amount of detail and effort you've included here is phenomenal given that it was a cancelled project in an overseas country.

Really appreciate that, D. :)

I started work on this some months back and originally it was just the coaster and the new stuff I found online. @Corporal Hicks suggested I expand the piece to the whole land and that's when I started digging a bit deeper online and reaching out to people who worked on it seeking new material and their thoughts. I ran into a few who were still nervous about NDAs and not wanting to share, others who felt a bit burned that the project was pulled out from under them and were more willing.

Also I missed a piece of concept art and I'll add it to one of the article's galleries later but here it is:




I can't even remember how I found it but this one was part of a few new things I saw in Fabian Fan's portfolio: https://issuu.com/fantingzhangfabian/docs/fabian_fan_portfolio_-_220212

I didn't credit a number of artworks as some were by those said ones who seemed more apprehensive about attention being brought to this and one asked me to scrub their name from some stuff on the images themselves. The ones that were provided to us were from another person who was on the project that wanted to remain anonymous, though graciously provided that quote.

It's crazy how far along this got before they pulled the plug. That AVP ride looks cool, though even if it were closer there's no way I would have ridden it! :laugh: It looks way too intense for me, and I'm kind of a wimp when it comes to extreme rides. But the theming for the whole area looks like it would have been super cool.

And yeah, here's hoping against hope that what you said at the end might be true and Disney pulled the plug in part because they've got some sort of plans for either/both properties at their own parks. It's doubtful given that they're both R-rated and all that, but we can still dare to dream (and never stop believing)!
