Judging by the construction footage, it sounds like it's going to completely change things up from the original ride, at least in the first half. I have a hunch that when this ride opens, the reaction will be similar to The Last Jedi. Either people will love this and appreciate it for changing things up and not being too similar to the original, or people will hate it for not being similar enough to the old ride.
I've said this before, but I'm not too concerned about the screens. As long as there are some descent practical effects and AAs, it'll be great in my book. I doubt they're going to be lazy for the first half of the ride. If DreamWorks Theater can have a really awesome practical effect in the preshow room, how much more with this ride? Just sayin'.
