It's like Disney with Toy Story Mania, even though the Imagineers insisted (and as the park maps have it listed) it's "Toy Story Midway Mania".Looks like this is only for the marketing campaign.
What a sloppy mess. Why would you throw out two different names like that?
Because many theme park visitors are oblivious to things like that. "The Ride" makes it very clear what it is to the target audience so it can't be confused with a show or anything else. There will still be people that show up to Minion Mayhem and ask where The Ride is. People don't put two and two together. I've experienced it first hand. The ads have to be sure to promote it as a ride to get people in the park. Albeit lazy, using the brand name with The Ride attached to it is the most concise way to advertise what's coming to the general public.Looks like this is only for the marketing campaign.What a sloppy mess.

Do remember that Orlando's was retrofitted so you may possibly see a larger screen. Also, this ride is going to exist simply to attract families and make that 48 inch ticket more worthwhile with arguably one of the hottest IP's right now. T2, as advanced as some might think, was (1) dated content-wise, (2) too intense for the park's audience (8 on IU's intensity meter), (3) too expensive. Just walk in to the ride expecting Orlando's truncated version and without T2 in your mind and I'm sure you'll enjoy it.That screen looks painfully small. It looks like only a few select cars have a good view, and everything else will be at an awkward angle. Even worse than The Simpson's. I'm gonna obviously save my full opinion for when I actually ride it, but seeing that video, I now know what Chris was talking about.....*sigh* I hope I end up enjoying it still.
It's a definite improvement on the screen for Hannah Barbera/Jimmy Neutron. That was basically as if they went to your local movie theater and plopped simulators down in front of it!Warning. Spoilers.

Seeing this video from The Today Show from Orlando's opening, I gotta say...I'm really disappointed. That screen looks painfully small. It looks like only a few select cars have a good view, and everything else will be at an awkward angle. Even worse than The Simpson's. I'm gonna obviously save my full opinion for when I actually ride it, but seeing that video, I now know what Chris was talking about.....*sigh* I hope I end up enjoying it still.
Well, if it makes you feel any better the two pre-shows are hysterical and the dance party is infectious.^ yeah exactly. There's absolutely nothing about DM:MM that's even remotely revolutionary or even evolutionary, except 4K, which is just the standard now anyway...it'll be nice for families and it's "another ride" I guess. But....what I find funny is that the only difference between Minion Mayhem and Shrek is the different seating (simulator cars vs. shaking seats) and a slightly larger screen for Minion Mayhem. So if they take out the shaking seats from Shrek and add similar simulator cars, can we rename Shrek as Shrek 4D The Ride?
