And trackless was ditched
WOW, Universal Hollywood managed to name a new ride without calling it Secret Life of Pets: THE RIDE!
Question about this bit from the press release:
"The innovative adventure will blend live, dimensional and animated characters with hyper-realistic media as guests zip along a track aboard ride vehicles through bustling New York"
Does that mean animatronics, cardboard cutouts and screenz? and what is hyper-realistic media? 4K?
This genuinly sounds great though, perfect addition for USH.
This is different than the plans I'm familiar with.
My interpretation - AA's, with screens/projections used minimally to add depth to backgrounds.
i.e. If they recreate the Alley scene from the first movie, which included all those cats. You'll probably have the Sphynx cat and a couple others be AA's, while the rest of the alley cats come down the buildings with projection tech. Make sense?

From my understanding, there will be lots of buildings with windows so I imagine there will be screens there along with projection mapping. Lots of AAs and physical sets, though.
I'm glad this has been *finally* announced. This should be cute.
Anyone have any sense of the ride system? Is the omnimover off the table? Or are we talking something akin to USO Cat in the Hat?

I think it’ll be a continuous chain of ride vehicles but not an omnimover.
(Pedantic Technical Stuff: Omnimover is the ride vehicles that can rotate and direct the view of the guest in any direction, hence omnimover. HM and Mermaid are Omnimovers; SSE, Buzz, and Nemo are not Omnimovers.)
Does that mean no rotating then?
I thought there might still be some, especially as the original idea was a multi directional trackless ride.
