WHAT?!?! This was the best part of the entire ride!!! :bang:
I guess I can see why they decided to change it. I'm prone to motion sickness, and it doesn't help when it feels like you're whizzing through a network of chimneys.

Hopefully phase 3 will involve a major upgrade with putting in all the things they couldnt due to budget, such as the moving stair cases, more dementors & with more movement, etc.
I think it's safe to assume FJ will see a substantial refurbishment right before the opening of Diagon Alley, right?
The new screens look nice and bright..almost too bright haha..the ride film is still a little strange and still feels blurry, but overall still an amazing ride of course
In fact there's 9 of them. Its just that you can't see 4 of them unless the lights are on. Bliss lighting (which is what allows the guests to see the extras) won't ever be turned on. WB is adamant about it never coming back. They won't have hands ever.
I know I am probably crazy, but after riding today I felt like some areas of the ride such as the dragon bridge to the womping willow area had different motions. I was even able to get a good look at the bench behind us without trying due to the ride motion.
Which seat did you have? I rode a few weeks ago in the far right and I could only see the benches ahead of us at the on-ride camera (don't think the seat matters for this one) and right before being tilted up in front of the Whomping Willow. All the motions outside the domes felt the same as when I rode last year. Even if some re-profiling was done, it seems like it would be extremely difficult to see any benches behind you since the vehicle keeps you looking forward. Maybe if you were in the far left at the Whomping Willow scene?
^ that's the ride kids... that is what they were able to provide. The whole thing is a miss-mess even though the the ride vehicles are top of the game, never before seen. For some reason, they were forced to screw it up... from day one. It is a mushy experience at best.
Rode it today and let me say it was bad. One dome was too bright, the other very fuzzy while HP trying to getting away from the dementors. I guess riding it after transformers wasnt a good idea. They really have to fix it asap. While riding I thought of a cool effect they should add. Near the end when u are flying towards the castle and scoop down above the lake, they should mist the bottom of the bench, like at your feet, as if you were skimming right above the water.
Can't believe I'm saying this, but I rode FJ twice today and the domes are now TOO bright. The ride is supposed to take place at twilight on a stormy day, but now it looks like high noon...
Yes, much clearer. And the motion of the RV is noticeably tamer.So, the screens are now brighter, but are they any clearer and less grainy?
