Guest Editorial: Theme parks need more classic, timeless content

Over the past decade or so, a trend in theme parks has become more and more common. These days, almost all new attractions created are based on modern intellectual properties. But this wasn’t always the case, and I would argue that it’s not always the best thing for the consumer. Yet it’s what’s being given to us, as it does admittedly sell more tickets and merchandise than less popular or unknown properties.

Stars in the Parks: Tippi Hedren, of Hitchcock's "The Birds," visits Halloween Horror Nights

tippi-hedren

Amidst being in Orlando for the Spooky Empire “Ultimate Horror Weekend,” Tippi Hedren, star of Alfred Hitchcock’s “The Birds,” is seen here visiting Dracula and his brides at the entrance to one of the haunted houses in this year’s Halloween Horror Nights event at Universal Studios.

This photo makes me wish the old Alfred Hitchcock attraction at Universal Studios was still around. The 3-D scene from “The Birds” was always entertaining.

You can see Hedren signing autographs in our summary of the Spooky Empire 2009 convention and in our photo gallery.
