No Twilight for Theme Parks!

A place to be entertained. Videos, jokes, games, and more.
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.

Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

No Twilight for Theme Parks!

Post by Darksin » Sat Jan 26, 2013 11:29 am

We're SAVED! Time to sit back with a nice, relaxing drink and be thankful we'll not be subjected to this pile of crap!

Found this today over on Theme Park Insider..

The Twilight Series – Stephenie Meyer, while at the Sundance Film Festival was asked if there were any plans to put Twilight into an amusement park. Her reply was, “It would be so boring. Would you have to go to high school for it? That's not a vacation. Sounds awful.” From her lips to your ears…and I couldn't agree more.

The only "Twlight"s I accept is a song by E.L.O. or a unicorn with the last name of "Sparkle". :)

How about The Platters Twilight Time?

Heavenly shades of night are falling, it's twilight time
Out of the mist your voice is calling, it is twilight time
When purple colored curtains mark the end of day
I'll hear you, my dear, at twilight time

Deepening shadows gather splendor as day is done
Fingers of night will soon surrender the setting sun
I count the moments darling till you're here with me
Together at last at twilight time

Here in the afterglow of day
We keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here in the sweet and same old way
I fall in love again as I did then

Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Together at last at twilight time

Here in the afterglow of day
We keep our rendezvous beneath the blue
Here in the sweet and same old way
I fall in love again as I did then

Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me with dreams untold
Each day I pray for evening just to be with you
Together at last at twilight time
Together at last at twilight time

Or what about the "Zone" a certain Tower of Terror is based upon?

Twilight time to dream awhile,
In veils of deepening blue.
As fantasy strides, over colourfull skies,
Of form disappearing from view.

In twilight time, dream with me awhile.

A nightingale plays a dark mellow phrase,
Of notes that are rich and so true.
An aerial display by the firefly brigade,
Dancing to tunes no one knew.

In twilight time, dream with me awhile.
In twilight time, dream with me awhile.

Building castles in the air,
Whistling to the wind.
As nature bows down her head,
See what tomorrow brings.

In twilight time, dream with me awhile.

Bats take to wing like puppets on string,
Prancing through cool evening air.
In a sightless glide, no reason to hide
Away from the sun's blinding stare.

In twilight time, dream with me awhile.
In twilight time, dream with me awhile.

Good band. I saw them at the Oakland Coliseum in '74.

Zazu, you beat me to it. As I was reading above I was thinking "What about the Moody Blues?" Days of Future Passed has always been a favorite. I loved the concept of the whole album. Plus I used to DJ for dances a couple or so years ago, and Nights in White Satin was one of the standard enders so we could lower the lights and give the high schoolers a little chapparone accepted quiet time to end the evening. :D:
