Can't wait to hear more details about the boat ride.

I've heard people and CMs say about Soarin' "It's like Mission:Space but way less intense" so comparisons with the guests are sort of pointless.

Yes, but the GP is the majority that attends the park. Their opinions matter more than anyone's, even if their opinions may be stupid.

Uni doesn't build attractions for AP Holders and FL Residents.

I'm not saying their opinions are stupid, just that they'll try and compare two new/recent/close things rather than equal things.

While Mummy and Transformers are close and TF is new, I think there is merit in someone saying that the ride feels like a hybrid, because... well, it sort of is. They added a lot of new components too don't get me wrong, but you definitely can feel a vibe of both of those. I mean the launch near the end where we "Escape" is very reminiscent (albeit much cooler) than Mummy.

Obviously everything is built on previous ideas in one way or another, especially if those ideas were successful. I just would really love to see them try to build a Mystic Manor style attraction. I think that's the perfect attraction type for Uni to tackle and it adds a huge family people-eater. I just want them to try something ONCE that isn't so reliant on screens.

Sorry, but what's TF? I can't place those letters.

The main show building sorta looks like Hogwarts, not in a bad way! lol

 

[Nick]

If you mean very large and lots of rock work, then yes, yes it does.

Of course part of the boat ride show building is connected as well which is part of why it's so big.

Here's a reference to what I was talking to about. The red section will be a part of the same show building as the simulator attraction, but will also house part of the boat ride. Notice in the blueprint it mentions "C-ticket" within the Red.

 

[martymcflyy85]

Does this mean the boat ride will be part indoors part outdoors?

I cant say for sure, but the blueprint definitely makes it seem that way. Although that would mean it would be a much better ride at night than during the day.

I've seen the concept art awhile ago, I know. The boat ride has gone through a redesign since then, don't know if it's still a C ticket, hoping for D ticket level.

I've heard positive things and that it's more along the lines of a D so here's hoping

Ricky has a preview of D23 up with a shot of the whole model.

That's quite the feather placement

And one from Jim Hill

Out of context, that looks like a hump of moss in a northern spruce and fir forest. In context, it looks like an ambiguous forest in China. Nice try with the blue planet background.

I have no doubt that Disney guests will find it enjoyable to some degree.
