did any one see the company cavu at iaapa they have two rides one that's similar to sorin but the other is a hybrid sorin/forbidden journey https://www.cavudw.com/assets/stormchaser.mp4

^ Cavu products all seem to be knock offs and theoretical only. A Kong 360 ride, a soarin ride that doesn't tip sideways at all. That and the estimated hourly capacity of each product is DREADFUL.

under your post is aback to the future 3 pic posted on a avatar topic is ironic because the bttf ride was built after Spielberg rode star tours and he then suggested universal make a simulator based on the movies and now here we are with Disney latest simulator and your pic is of the latest bttf movie also does the name James horner sound fimilar he was the composer for avatar the move he also composed the 75th anniversary fanfare that accompanied the Universal logo at the start of Back to the Future Part III.

:saywhat:

Could whoever is at Animal Kingdom for OU today grab a current park map and bring it home and scan it high res for me to see?

IMO This could be the most beautiful addition to any theme park.
The engineering is beautiful in itself.
The final product will blow the average theme park goer away!
Love this.

Sorry if I'm late to the game, is this the ride system we are going to see used in the main simulator attraction?

Panoramic Flight Simulator

It's thought to be the ride system being used, but not confirmed.

Also, photoflight over at Magic released some aerials and some decent progress has been made since the ORL Park Pass pics were released. Here they are:

I do not believe so.

I do not believe so.

Ah, interesting. It's a similar system though, correct?

I know at one point there was a nice Disney guidemap fansite out there somewhere that would scan and upload every new map, but I can't seem to find it now with just a cursory Google search.

Here is a site that has a lot of Park Maps, but 2014 was when it was last updated.

There's a PDF of the Animal Kingdom park map on WDW's website.

I'm currently in the process of uploading my map collection (which includes a mixture of scans and PDFs) to TPM-DB | The Theme Park Maps Database

I've currently got Animal Kingdom maps from 1999, 2014, and 2015 available at Animal Kingdom | TPM-DB

(I think I've also got 1998 and 2003 AK maps to scan in when I get the time, so let me know if you'd like one and I can try and get them done sooner )

Diagonal Alley was an appitizer.

I like these, so called, theme park wars.

Ep. 1 The Rebels kicked The Empire in the nads.

Ep. 2 The Empire announces "The Death Star" and the Rebels kick The Empire in the nads again (harder).

Ep. 3 "The Death Star" comes on line. Balance is shattered. The Empire (BOOM) drops the mic.

So where's Nintendo in all of this?

 

[Disneyhead]

Second Trilogy? Nintendo, Star Wars Land, 3rd gate, DHS phase 3 & 4.

Ep. 1 & 2 were long and boring. It's all been building to Ep. 3. Universal and it's fans shouldn't underestimated what WDI can do when told to "bring the heat".

The second trilogy is where it all gets interesting. Kicking the 800 lb gorilla was easy when he was sleeping.

You must be hearing some good things because you are either being really sarcastic or you are actually having positive things to say about Disney

Hey atleast there's some rivalry to be had in terms of new offerings now. We as theme park fans all benefit. Hopefully it escalates....Disney will have to react in a big way you feel to a third gate, as that's the kind of thing that can sway where people stay onsite.
