I remember watching this waiting in line at KI when the ride first opened. Then that voice comes on at the end...OMG! On that huge sound system in the hangar and he says "..and peace." With the incredible bass response it just cut through me like butter. I still feel it after all these years. Thank you!
Actually the video was altered in 2001 after the license for the outer limits expired. It wasn’t a paramount property but rather was licensed to paramount parks by CBS, the contract lasted five years and when it was up they removed the show references instead of renewing the contract, which makes sense given the show would air it’s final episodes a year later before being canned.
I got the video from kings dominion and re added the original voiceover from another video, from there I tracked down the original source images used to make the alien transmission sequence. They originate from a collection of artwork by Jerry Uelsmann created via cutting and cropping various photographs. They were all in black and white so I had to colorize them and then I motion tracked them to the original pre show clip that has been on UA-cam for about a decade to get it as close as possible. The soundtracks were received from Kings Island Central (a fan site)

And it features the legendary and iconic voice of Jim Cummings as The Control Voice!
THE ALIEN LEADER, NOT THE CONTROL VOICE.
I never knew Flight of Fear had a Preshow, a really good one as well by the looks of it!
Yeah it still plays at Kings Island with all the effects, but it’s been gone for about a decade at kings dominion sadly.
@@Theme_parchive They should bring it back for the next anniversary the park has
Wow! That was a blast from the past memory! I rode that so many times I had the alien monologue memorized to this day. Lmao😂
So much nostalgia! I can remember the long wait times inside the hanger but still being enamored with the whole video and atmosphere of the queue line
Aweso.e I have been looking for this. Blew me away as a kid!!!
I love how they found a way to make it a time loop
Wonderful experience! Paramount did a good job with theming!
Awesome! And kings dominion also recently posted the full updated one as well! :)
suprised kings dominion was the one to do it since isn't that the park that replaced it with fun tv?
12:01 The rooted house. Made a appearance in this pre. SHOW. Four flight of Fear at kings Islands
Nice recreation!
0:09 - The AI "upscaling". 😵💫
what the blazes was that
I noticed that cedar fair altered the pre show video when they purchased paramount parks in 2006

@@Theme_parchive that makes sense, also around the same time the pre show video changed the ride got new restraints.
@@C3T1C yeah but the new restraints were more of a necessity because this ride used to jackhammer your head like a pinball machine
@@Theme_parchiveIt's still pretty rough.
Woah.
You’re like, the only person who’s actually commented on this video lmao
Which studio did Paramount contact to create this Pre-show? It could almost pass for an actual episode of the 90's version of "The Outer Limits".
It was the same director who produced Terminator 2 3D at universal. Which is how they were able to get Jim cummings
@@Theme_parchive Alright!
@@Theme_parchiveAnd his sexy-ass voice.
Damn this is a long preshow!
It loops. So if you see the whole thing depends on how long you’re in line for. It’s not something you stand in a room to wait for it to finish
How did you get this video + the soundtrack?

The alien leader is so hot ISTG
That alien leader is The Control Voice voice by the legendary Jim Cummings.
@@VBaskin2010 Not anymore. He's just a generic alien leader now.
WHAAAAAAAAA???
@@LDTV22OfficialChannelThey removed the references to The Outer Limits when the contract expired.
@@VBaskin2010He was never the control voice. He was just an alien leader.
This is the original Zoom Call
I like Space Mountain before it was refurbished
I’ve watch this so much while waiting for flight of fear it’s kinda embarrassing.
