This is why they invented adult diapers. Ask that astronaut who was on a mission to kill her boyfriend's mistress. She didn't have time for a pee stop!

My friends that waited for maybe 30 min in the outside pre-line (before softs started) and were in and out fairly quickly and said all the effects were working for them. They both loved it and said they came out with two big

Motion base didn't work for me either. This was my second ride, and I enjoyed it much more even without it. There's just a lot to take in. The 3D projection is simply the cleanest image so far at Universal, and it tracks so well with the vehicle.
The kids (6 and 9) were fine. The 6 year old is ready to go again. The 9 year old got a scare actor and screamed but then smiled. I think being stuck in the witch room for about an hour removed a lot of the sense of foreboding.

Ride was awesome. I'll give a more in depth review later but a great addition to IOA.
I've heard rumors that part of the ride is the same film from the USH ride. Is it that noticeable and does it affect the ride at all?

The 360 portion is the same except for the ride vehicles being switched out.
I would argue that the whole film was re-rendered using past software files condensed onto a far smaller screen. There was no editing of old footage together etc.

I have not seen USH but was struck by how deep the 360 scene was and how well it tracked the action. If that is what they have in Hollywood I am surprised I didn't hear more about it before now. Best thing I have seen on a screen ever.
I caught that vid (we were asked not to post onride here) and it really highlights how poorly the screens translate to a camera. Really does not do them justice.

I went yesterday and although the motion base in the 360 room wasn't working, that was the sentiment I left with. It was undoubtedly the best 3D scene I had ever experienced. Unbelievably crisp and vibrant.

I did Kong 360 last month and the animation felt different. Some of it definitely had to be re-rendered and it looked even more impressive (and I thought USH's was great already).

Every single comment on YouTube pov hates this ride I thought it was pretty cool like how many 360 screens rides are there i always wanted to ride the HW version but they finally took it to the east coast bigger and even better so I'm trying to understand what's the problem haha ? Did they really expect to have a fighting Dino and Kong AA , a lot of these people are going to be hurt when they see what avatar and stars wars holds for em

I really appreciate this info, however I'd like some help understanding, maybe I'm just dense. It sounds to me like the vehicle loads from the left side, so people first in the row will move all the way to the right when loaded, is that right? I'll be with a party of three, so we'll want to get an empty row to move across, and preferably rows 6-8, to get the optimal experience. Do I have that all right?

and frozen will also have a lot of screensEvery single comment on YouTube pov hates this ride
Nah. That ride will be the best since it will have sets and screens which Disney does so well with cheap overlays. I mean, have you ridden Nemo or Gran Fiesta Tour?!?!?! AMAZING!!!
Off topic, but I do love the little AAs of the Three Caballeros that they added to the Gran Fiesta Tour, significantly improved the experience for me, lolNah.
