From a show branding itself as a "Stuntacular" id hope for some more stunt work. I'll reserve judgement until I see it however.I wasn't referencing anyone in particular. Just a general vibe I've gotten from a lot of places that this show must have a really in-depth plot or insane stuntwork to be good. I don't believe that in the slightest but that's neither here nor there. I'm really just here to give my thoughts, not try to change anyone else's.
Any more reviews from yesterday?
If I don't feel like I wasted 20 mins of park time I will be happy enough. T2 got to be that way for me.I will agree that the last act of the show really is more about showing off the cool tech effects they were able to pull off rather than exceptionally great stuntwork. I was thoroughly entertained either way, but expectations play into it a lot I'm sure. I think the dynamic effects they use for the dialogue scenes made those easier to digest for me, but again, another thing that people will just have to judge for themselves about.
I think the weakest part of the show was one of the major chase scenes about halfway through, but I've heard a few others saying that that scene was one of their favorites. I'm predicting this show will end up being fairly divisive, as everyone will be going in for something different. FWIW I think most people will find something substantial to like about it.
How loud are the gunshots? Are there any practical explosions? I have mild PTSD, but I go to Waterworld or Indy since I know when they will happen. The severity of the loudness is what determines if it's easy or not for me to handle, but if it's sudden and you can't tell it's coming, it can be a lot worse.In the group I was with (around 6-7), One person said they thought it was great and pretty much everyone else had positive and negatives, but the consensus was the screen/set use was cool, finale was lackluster and the first half of the show has a decent amount of stuntwork and it went downhill second half. The pacing is a bit stop-and-start, too with the dialogue parts disrupting things a bit more than one would like for a stunt show.
I realize i'm only one opinion, but the screen stuff is legitimately cool. I can see how someone could walk out and be impressed just based on that, but i'd say the best pure stunt show in Orlando is Indy still. Maybe I was just expecting to much in the way of stunts. This show will definitely be a crowd pleaser, although i'd highly advise against taking small children here due to the gun shots which are LOUD and will startle/trigger certain people.
After watching it, I know exactly what people will complain about on twitter and I’m ready to laugh at it. “Theme Park Twitter” is going to be so split, but most of the people are going to post things to get attention.
Please noDoes sound like from reactions the tech would be perfect for a Super Smash Bros Show..... just sayin
Listen. I’ve seen this show a few times at this point. It’s a time. Not a bad time. A fun time.
This is making me excited for the future tech in theme park shows and attractions. You can go in and know nothing about Jason Bourne(I still don’t know) and have a great time. You have to see it for yourselves to get your view on it.
I don’t know if it was mentioned in the thread yet, but they have had some minor technical issues and had to restart scenes in a couple of the shows. Not restarting the whole show, but the current scene resets and they try again when it messes up.So what’s the latest opening date guess? I know some people said it was probably pushed to april but if the sorts are going well which they seem to be...
When I saw it, the speakers weren't yet working in the preshow so they had a set of temporary ones up. I assume they'll want to get that fixed before opening for real. Also, as Alicia said, there was a few moments of them having technical issues that they seem to still be sorting out (although I did see it once run w/o issue).With the TM previews over, I am guessing soft opens could start as early as tomorrow.
That's just a guess, so don't @ me if they don't.
I can see them wanting the speakers in the preshow hooked up. But working out technical glitches on the fly is what "Technical Rehearsals" are for.When I saw it, the speakers weren't yet working in the preshow so they had a set of temporary ones up.

I don't think it's really been mentioned, but the queue is very generic. Just a bunch of switchbacks and Bourne photos along with the two props that Alicia mentioned would be there. If you're a Bourne fan, I suppose the props could be cool. The preshow is rather long (~8 minutes) and it basically tries to explain the Bourne Universe to you in that period of time with very poor dialogue. In the end, it all boils down to one thing: Get Jason Bourne.
I remember the screen in Hagrid's queue, didn't stop them letting the GP in.I can see them wanting the speakers in the preshow hooked up. But working out technical glitches on the fly is what "Technical Rehearsals" are for.
