Sorry, didn't realize it was different than Hollywood's version where there's two auditoriums.

Yes, I took my 3D glasses off once when going through Reign of Kong. It was terrible, the screen was somewhat blurred and double/triple figures in spots.Can't believe this is actually happening. I was dissapointed to hear the FJ was losing 3D (bc that meant it wasn't coming to Orl), but I felt it was a little more justified because it's a high motion ride that was already disorienting (though I blame that on the sometimes dull and blurry projections) and it was converted 3D if I recall correctly (I guess with how much CG most of the scenes contain, it didn't look as bad as other conversions but still).
I'm very curious about what the specific complaint from this group of people typically is. It seems incredibly unlikely to me that this would boost overall guest satisfaction.
This is just weird. Kong would be much worse to me without 3D (as evidenced by F&F). 3D pluses every media based attraction and with the death of 3D at the theater (not really, but fewer movies are doing it and most people complain about the glasses when I bring it up), these experiences are actually becoming special again, especially when you consider the quality.
Not sure if this was brought up or not, if so I apologize I've been pretty out of the loop.
Kids under 3 should not watch 3D at all (can impact binocular development) and other reports (not sure how factual in today's day and age) are stating that it should be limited (not completely avoided) up until much higher ages.
Would this result in a lower ride height to "ride"? Could this be a preliminary step for the elimination of Kids Zone?

Movies designed for 3d glasses aren't designed to be watched without them. It projects multiple versions of the image on the screen then the glassed combine them to make the 3d effect. I've noticed this on movies at theaters. I'm not sure if they have to use a different film or just shut off all but one of the projections to make it 2d, but it won't show the effect you are talking about.
GSATs beg to differ with your opinion.I rode this for the first time last week too.
Couldn't believe what a horrid, poor attraction this was. This type of screen attraction, where you aren't immersed into the screen (ie, you can see the walls around you, ceilings, other people infront of you, etc) is the type of screen attraction that gives screen attractions a bad name.
For such a huge IP, one that is being exported to Singapore and Beijing, i was shocked how awful it was.

The 4D effects and the fairy at the endShrek can also be watched on Netflix, so if they were to remove the 3D, what's the point in it's existence anymore? At that point i'd say just pack it up and get ready for something to replace it.
Some people legitimately can't handle 3D and it makes them nauseous
At Universal they'd kind of be screwed
They could offer glasses with two left-eye lenses.
Kong and Fallon are 36”. I suppose one could argue that since those aren’t as “kid friendly” that those can’t be compared.
But then how does that explain Shrek? That blows a giant hole in that theory as Shrek has no height requirement, uses the same glasses and is just as child-focused as DM.

DM begs to be a legit dark ride...I say close it and redo itIt's been a mixed bag on social media. Some love it, some hate it, some see it as a hopeful first step of the ride's closure....
At this point, it seems the best way to describe the change is "Your mileage may vary".
