Well, I suppose now they can ADD 3D to FF since they took it away from MM. Can't just have 3D sitting around somewhere. :thumbsup:And yet Fast & Furious is still unchanged

That would improve the ride experienceWell, I suppose now they can ADD 3D to FF since they took it away from MM. Can't just have 3D sitting around somewhere. :thumbsup:
Rode it today in USH - no humans with goggles just an empty ride vehicle shows and them magically your minions.But the real question is, did they alter the actual ride footage that shows the humans being transformed into minions on screen wearing goggles?
My qualm with the motion sickness logic is that 3D isn’t often the cause. Sure, it can give you a headache for going cross eyed so long lol. But motion sickness is almost by definition cause by jerky or mis-synced motion (Simpson’s) or things that move you around a LOT (FJ).
When watching something in 3D, our eyeballs rotate inwards, with accommodation as the goal. But if that happened, the viewer would be left focusing on a spot in front of the screen, rather than focusing on the screen itself. But this confuses the brain because the eyes have converged without accommodation. Instead, the eyes oscillate between their natural inclination and the artificial state demanded by the film. This can cause extreme eye strain, migraines and nausea.
A more fundamental problem may be conflict between different senses. When we watch a film such as Avatar, our visual system may tell us that we are wheeling high in the skies of a distant moon, but other senses tell us that we are sitting motionless in a chair. Of course, 2D films present this kind of conflict as well, but our brains may simply be more used to accepting that 2D content is not “real”.
Then what's the change about?To be fair here, we are talking about a 3-4 minute film in a custom theater, not a 2 hour film at a cineplex.
I have no doubt that there were negative effects for some people, but I do have doubts that’s the impetus for this change.

It has been stated that 25 percent of guests were complaining about 3D...The number could be higher for MinionsGood question. If anyone here has knowledge beyond the official line “refining the guest experience” they have yet to share that knowledge in a convincing way.
If I go to guest services and complain that 3D rides make me sick, do they give me anything, like a handful of express passes or a refund?
Actually it was just a 3D survey, in general, not DM, of TPI readers. Guest Service complaints at Universal concerning 3D in general, or DM specifically, may well be an entirely different set of numbers, lower or higher.It has been stated that 25 percent of guests were complaining about 3D...The number could be higher for Minions
If you go to guests services there is a high chance they will take your complaint seriously

This tells us NOTHING.The official line is refining the guest experience. It's true, even if posters on here think it's misguided.
Best way to affect this is to communicate to Universal through Guest Relations and written communication about your disappointment in the removal of 3D. As for what they give you I'm not sure.
It doesn't have to.This tells us NOTHING.
Shrek has high GSATs and is not a 3D simulator aimed at a younger audience though.I see reference to a survey on a web page that had 25% of respondents choosing “No more 3D ever.” Go back a few more pages and the prevailing theory after Hollywood was about kids not liking to wear glasses.
Shrek would have been an easier target if simply minimizing the 3D footprint was the goal, but those glasses have no other use on property.
Removing 3D from Hollywood's FJ resulted in a superior frame rate (and Gringotts mysteriously gains Quidditch goggles). T2 was falling apart. Japan Minions has an Omnimax screen less suited to 3D. There are elements of practicality to all these events.
