I agree. Soarin was number one or number two most sought after ride in the park. Fallon, after grand opening, will probably have six to ten rides above it for demand. Fallon fills a vacancy, but it's not a long term headliner.

Yes...We can't expect every ride they build to be an E-Ticket..
I just hate that we lost a practical attraction for another screen one, but that has been brought up many times
There's gonna be a standby queue that'll be used to fill in the spots of people who don't show up for their time.
Jimmy Fallon will utilize Christie 16K projectors. To compare, your typical IMAX is 4k, some with laser projecting have 8k. Spiderman, Gringotts, and Forbidden Journey use 4K. So in comparison with the others this should have the best picture quality in the park.
I'm kind of excited just to see what a projected 16K video looks like.

What's Kong? It always seems a little better than the 3 listed to me but could just be the obscured view of it.
I suspect those early closures are for Grad Bash (or whatever it's called).

I don't think this is even possible yet. Are you talking about 16k lumens as in brightness? People in the projector business have used k to describe brightness before it was about resolution. According to the Christie website 4k resolution 60k lumens is the best I can see they make. 8k resolution is just becoming a thing at CES this year. I would expect stacked 4k projectors for 3d for this ride.
Yea, that's what I originally thought. But when I looked at Orlando Informers's crowd calendar they didn't have grad bash listed for those dates. They only had it listed for last weekend in April. But, it's possible OI is wrong on that. Universal's site didn't mention the grad nights, so I couldn't tell from their official site.
Maybe it's more that UC may be having four 4K projectors all going at it all at the same time?
Which is why I shouldn't be taken into consideration when talking about projectors..
Leave it to em' smart people.

Well technically real IMAX isn't digital at all, the term IMAX has been sold out to the point now it's pretty much meaningless.

It would actually probably be pretty close to IMAX since 35mm is usually considered to be equivalent to 8k.
They should make this a single riders line to cut down on both capacity and people who will wait just to wait.
Maybe Fallon will prove extremely popular. Soarin is a well liked ride, and as we've seen, pretty much regardless of the film content itself.

Hey now, don't be projection nerds. You'll end up on my list with model train enthusiasts and the people who spend half of their design budget on something "authentic" in a theme park when it could be fake at half the cost and no one would know (authenti-cists? i havent come up with a name for those weirdos yet.)
Smithonitards? That works, right? People who want everything to be a museum quality authentic thingy..?
In theater we call them "naturalists" and make fun of them for making actors cook and eat real food on stage.
