seeing this list reminds me that UOR , to me, provides a much better product purely based on ridesGringotts is probably fourth at the resort for me behind Mummy/Forbidden Journey/Spider-Man. I'm hoping this coaster is in the top three.
Yea, Epcot sucks so I'd be amazed if this wasn't the best ride there immediately
Gringotts would just barely make it onto my Top 10 Universal Attractions list. I just feel like Spider-Man and Revenge of the Mummy do everything Gringotts does, and do it better. The queue is far better than the ride is, for me.
It had certainly better be the best of the thrill attractions in the park, especially for the amount of money being spent on it.
But I'm honestly more excited for Ratatouille and the U.K. dark ride that is supposedly coming, though that probably says more about my lack of enthusiasm for Guardians than anything else.
I think Rattouille looks increasingly mediocre from videos, so I’m not all that excited for it at all
Considering it'll open 6 years after it's WDSP counterpart, it should at least look significantly better than that version. But they really need to plus it (God I haven't used that phrase in a while) as it pales in comparison to all of the other screen rides down I-4.
Wasn't one of the biggest issues with the ride that your peripheral vision isn't blocked the way Universal's screen-based motion simulator rides do? If the walls of the Spider-Man ride vehicle weren't so tall the illusion would be ruined for many of the scenes... but everything I've seen for Ratatouille shows ride vehicles with fairly short side walls. Maybe it's not the biggest issue, but always seemed like an oversight to me.

I know it's a big problem for Antarctica's screen portion. What good is a screen portion if I can see the other cars to my left and right. Plus, the edges of the screen are so well defined.

All of this talk is making me more worried about the Battle Escape Ride for GE.You definitely feel more like a spectator and not so much that you're in the action like Universal's rides. This feels like they used the same trackless ride tech as if you were watching AA's or something more visually interesting than the action that's actually happening on screen. If there's one thing Universal can do right is to SYNC a ride vehicle motion to video in a way that really makes it immersive.
It is a similar RV style, but I feel that the screens on that one will only be giant windows to space, and not simulated motion screens like the other rides we're discussing. Hopefully Battle Escape includes more AAs and real sets, then the low sides won't hurt, they might even help the experience... I hope.All of this talk is making me more worried about the Battle Escape Ride for GE.
Disney seems to be into 3D a lot lately.I didn't know you had to wear glasses on Ratatouille.
Disney-Pixar Short Films Festival, (formerly Captain EO, formerly Honey I Shrunk the Audience, formerly Captain EO, formerly Magic Journeys.)I’m drawing a blank. What 3-D show does Epcot have?
The PIXAR Short Film Fest next to Imagination.I’m drawing a blank. What 3-D show does Epcot have?
I was talking about the IOA coaster; the derailment made me forget this is the GOTG threadWell there’s not many rides in Epcot... so could easily be the best in the park lol
