idk what he means by the queue. but isnt the ride itself like a tropical airport.
I guess if you say that tailspin is well themed, then so is The Claw.
side note: can we discuss how badly jet rescue and the dreamworld motorcycle one need a de-weeding (last time I was there at least). the motorcycle one looked abandoned and all of the racing theming was washed out from rain and asphalt was cracking. jet rescue however looked far better and did just need some of the weeds gone.
I love how off-topic this post is forming to be.
also no one has said DD? I'd count the whole area its in as theming for the ride. if not its still a good looking spot, and a good looking ride.
and theming is really important as it gives the ride immediate appeal. You either have a ride which sticks out as a big grand ride (DC Rivals, GL), or you spend your money on beautifying a smaller, but still amazing ride (wipeout, DD) that way its still interesting to the guests. Like I remember putting Batman Spaceshot last on my list of rides to go on because it didn't look interesting enough. and the theming not only gives you a good starting appeal to the ride, but a good end. Like Cyclone (hotwheels) had endless stairwells, the ride, then a strange circular ramp surrounding a defunct fan? It let down the experience and made the ride feel dangerous to have gotten on.
idk if this makes any sense, but its long, and 1am so good luck decoding haha
also superman defies what I said by being grand and pretty but shh
