Here is a return of the Bear-y Tales presentation video that I shot during 2017 as part of the New Year's Eve Micechat party. Knott's Preserved and Wilshire Blvd author Eric Lynxwiler did a fun presentation of the ride years before the ride was brought back in the form of Return To The Fair.
In fact, Eric was the one who came up with the idea initially, but the concept was lost to Iron Reef. Thankfully, this concept survived and would be the inspiration for the new version you see now. The only difference of the old idea was to make it a digital recreation of the first adventure than a sequel and the projectiles your blaster was going to have was to be themed in each area. Such as the Jam (Like in the new ride) for the Factory, Water for Frog Forest, Cards for Gypsy Camp, and etc. So in a way, it would have been much more like Toy Story Mania when it comes to this aspect.
