I don't think they were at the park to see it for themselves. I'm sure they would've shared video had that been the case. It's just a rumor as of now.ParkJourney is at the park and they are hearing the sweet sound of coaster testing all the way from the Studio Tour bridge..
It's almost an exact replica of Florida's loading station. The only difference is team members hand out glasses while you're locked into the arms and request them before your harnesses unlock at the unload station. There's absolutely no chance of you taking your glasses home (or getting a shot of it).BTW anybody who's been to Japan: is their loading area better executed than Orlando's? I thought the room of requirement was appalling compared to everything surrounding it. The mirrors are so obvious since you can literally see your reflection in them while loading. The result is a long strip that feels like we're being loaded in at the end of a rehearsal hall. Kind of expected the ride ops to give me dance instructions before hopping on the kuka bench.
It was nice. More information later.Was the 3-D cool Jon?
It's technically not the wand itself. The technology Universal uses to achieve the Interactive wands is pretty much the same as Microsoft's Kinect sensor. The Camera detects the bead at the end of the wand and it's programmed to activate to very specific movements.I love the idea for the interactive wands but on my last trip to Orlando, I saw many guests struggling with spells thus forming long lines just to make magic on a window.... The wands were so poor that in some cases, universal cast would be stationed by the window to help guests try over and over again... This turned me off to the idea of spending a fortune on a stick that doesn't even work....
