T2:3D - Battle Across Time Memorial Thread

[Frank Drackman]

Yeah, I think they just put their headliners and new stuff on there...T2 is not a headliner anymore

But Fear Factor Live is a headliner? :saywhat:

Apparently the map maker thinks so haha...

Has anyone else had problems with the 3D being out of phase on this ride? The images kept drifting in and out of 3D for me, but my wife didn't notice anything.

I've never had a problem with any other 3D projection system before or after, so I don't think it's my vision.

I was on this about 2 weeks ago and noticed the same thing...the main screen was a bit out of "phase" like you said.

It was like that when we were there in May. I thought it was just me, until I started reading these posts.

I think its because of the old polarized 3-D system (especially synching up 6 projectors). I am assuming they use circular polarization but white-on-black is notorious for cross talk in those systems

If they are serious of keeping this for a while longer they really need to switch it over to the 3D systems all the other rides use. The ghosting really kills what is an otherwise great show.

Well, it's also film based right? Our eyes have adjusted to different 3-D nowadays

 

[PurplePagoda]

maybe they aren't fixing the 3d because they dont plan on keeping it much longer

 

[OLSinFLA]

The old 3-D used linear which had a lot of cross talk Almost all of the 3D at Universal has dropped polarization entirely in favor of the Dolby 3-D type system that uses modification of wavelengths.

I would think they would replace over upgrade Battle across Time given the lack of success this franchise has had lately at the box office.

It seems like the projectors having the most issues are the front ones. When I was there a week ago, the left and right ones actually looked really crisp and bright. May just be because they're only used for 1/3rd of the show, tho..

Universal Studios has such big capacity problems I think it's safe to say the Terminator is safe for a long time.

As is Fear Factor, ugh

Double ugh

The capacity issues are not as extreme as we make it out. I'm at the park on a summer Saturday and Gringotts was only a 30 minute wait at noon. Once Fallon opens, the capacity problems go down too.

This.

When they do, closing Kidzone isn't going to be the end of the park, but think more of how Amity was when it closed. Sure, the park had problems in certain aspects but they knew about those problems and intended to get those fixed (Hence, seeing how they got Transformers and Springfield operational one year after Amity's closure).

Although, perhaps someone should make a topic on the status of Capacity of Universal Orlando Resort; as who knows, that would actually be wise for future projects that the parks.

But, this isn't the proper thread to talk about it, as this one is stated for T2 and if they intend on making upgrades to it.

Last time i was in there one of the 2 fog machines for the finale was down. Makes for a weak ending.

Try it when the entire LNO2 system fails!

Only go once a year but I can't remember the last time the fog reached the back of the room. or the motorcycle worked.

Originally did the fog reach the back of the theater?
