Magnum: The Ride
Further evidence that Magnum is still alive and well nearly twenty years after its final episode .....

Obviously, the ride is just your average "spin-n-puke", but it's actually themed and named after Thomas Magnum! I tell you what, if I was strolling through a state fair and came across this I would about flip out!
The giganto forehead on Magnum is a little distracting, however.
There's actually a POV AVI video of the ride here. Warning: It's nausea inducing.

Heh, what's messed up Walt? The fact that someone actually themed a "spin-n-puke" ride to Magnum? The horrible artwork of Magnum's head? The video? Or all three?
A friend of mine said he kind of looks like a clown, with the exaggerated forehead and the bushy, pointing-upwards, side hair. That's right, they turned our hero into a clown!
Still, I find it pretty cool that in this day and age someone actually themed a ride to Magnum, however bad it may be! I never would have expected that in a million years!

I love scrolling through old posts . . .
What a picture! You can tell that airbrusher has talent, but he makes TM look like one of the Hulks old enemies, the Leader!!!
(Please tell me there's another comic book geek on here who know's the Leader!!!)
It almost looks like it was meant to be viewed on an angle, where the elongated upper head would then be in proportion.

Now that was funny as hell! I'll have to look for this at the NC State Fair in October. I usually don't go though so I may have to tell the wife to keep her eyes open. It would be better if they were bumper cars. You could have the Ferrari, Rick's Mercedes, the chopper, and the Audi Higgins drives just to name a few.eeyore wrote:Looks like Conway Twitty.
What a great idea!! And they`d be supposed to play only 80th music!! And every 15 minutes the MPI theme music (both) Great way to spend money - drive around for hoursIt would be better if they were bumper cars.

Sometimes I get so lucky, even I don`t believe it (TSM)
