Granada Studios
While its not the best theme park ever, i went there about 10 years ago and went on the best ride of my life* (steady...).

It was one of those thats like a big cinema screen with banks of seats that you have to get strapped into and they move in time with whats happening on the screen.

The video was Aliens! We took off from the Nostromo and landed on LV-426 via dropship, encountering plenty turbuance along the way. We drove out of the dropship on one of those armoured APC's and headed into the compound, looking for signs of life. Heading down these tunnels at speed the Queen Alien jumped us and started beating shit out of the APC. We beat a hasty retreat, with her ripping half the armour off and a few marines shot her/got eaten along the path back. We thundered back onto the ship, blasted up and nuked her from orbit....all while being shook to fuck in those seats

awesome!

*please tell me if this still exists somewhere?

Don't know.
But I know the one you mean. There was a similar one at the London Trocadero. I went on it when I was twelve. Scared the shit out of me for years.

I vaguely remember going on that exact ride at American Adventure. At least I think it was American Adventure... my memory is hazy at best.

Yep - American Adventure also had one.
I think the ride itself was called a Motion Master.

There's probably a warehouse
somewhere, with half a dozen of these sitting there. All owned by one man whose dumbshit business partner didn't check if they could be re-programmed for other action scenes.
