All these poor rubes having the time of their lives judging from their reactions but they're obviously stupid and don't know what real theme park entertainment is.
FYI, the Avatar boat ride and Stormtrooper Battle attraction will use similar tech from what I've read. And of course the Avatar flying ride and Millenium Falcon will be totally screen based. If you're going to dump on Comcast for this you might as well give Disney their fair share. Or are they too MAGICal for your criticism?

Supposedly, the Avatar flying ride will have set pieces around the screen that will move and interact.

I believe you've already made up your mind.
Even better
I find the "screenz" argument funny because a lot of the time there's still plenty of physical sets in the rides that compliment the screens. Only total screen attractions I can think of at Universal are DM, Simpsons, and Shrek.
Isn't that what Soarin is though?
But thats fine with me. One less person in line for my multiple rides on this.
Isn't kong a combination of screen/animatronic and physical sets?
What more could they do?

It really was. The woman beside me wasn't too happy about my swearing though. Maybe that's the woman who was complaint.
After reading this thread for the past 5-6 pages, I think I need a drink -
I'm going to address some things because good lord.....
1. Soft opens are not promised or owed with a specific time frame. They can soft open a week before their opening date and that's fine. You may not like it, but that's what it is. A delay in softs does not mean a delay in the ride. They said Summer 2016, with media previews June 23-24. Nothing has changed those 2 dates at this time. Those are the only dates they promised. Hounding them because they didn't meet a "speculative" soft open date is ridiculous.
2. Holding them accountable to open first day of Summer with a time frame of Summer 2016 is also pretty petty, and ridiculous. I don't care what kind of logic you want to make to arrive at that answer, it's stupid.
3. There is no problem with Kong AA, there is no "Big Delay". It's all a matter of getting RV's timed correctly. With a new system, that can take some time. They had original plans for soft opening, Universal wanted something different before they opened so they're working on it now. For all intents and purposes, this is still "on-time".

Well there went a number of the arguments from the last 50 pages right down the tube. Thanks a lot. Sheesh, nothing like spoiling it for the rest of us.
New tech will always cause some issues and any supposed delays still aren't that far off from our supposed deadlines. I have been to parks with rides that had been operational for a number of years that all of sudden developed the hiccups and I couldn't ride it that time. The perfect emoji is right here: :horse:

Dissing Kong & Universal. Absurd. Universal has more than doubled their attendance in the last six years and increased revenue even more than that, doing their thing the "Universal Way". That many people can't be wrong. They speak with their wallets.
So... what's new?
"Wanted something different"? Are you suggesting that they are altering the experience considerably? Does this have something to do with the post that the execs were disappointed and that it wasn't what they expected it to be?

So, referring to point 3, is that possibly referring to Universal changing some things up in relation to the Comcast/Universal Executives being underwhelmed by a certain aspect of the attraction? Is that the "something different"? :what:
