What, nobody liked T-800's reunion with his college roommate? Terminator rocked IMO, and if Bourne is the next step for this type of experience then count me IN.
I think everything about T2 other than the actual film was great. But this is gonna be all the good parts without the big boring part (the film)I don’t get the hate on T2. It was an incredible attraction when it opened and was a solid experience.
unfortunately the years weren’t kind to it and after debuting nearly 25 years ago, it’s time to go was overdue.
Bourne has a lot to live up to. While I’m. It overly optimistic on it, it still has potential to be something good.
I’m reserving judgement until I see it with my own eyes in June, if my trip still goes ahead.
Which is exactly me argument. Calling out issues with T2 isn’t “hating.” Neither is pointing out elements of it that were lifted from an earlier attraction. I think it’s important to recognize that what is was, was all it was.I think everything about T2 other than the actual film was great.

You are aware that your opinion is just that, right?Which is exactly me argument. Calling out issues with T2 isn’t “hating.” Neither is pointing out elements of it that were lifted from an earlier attraction. I think it’s important to recognize that what is was, was all it was.
Bourne is intended to be a “live, action movie.” That is, an action movie with live performers and action. And your perception of T2 is also your perception. But, the majority of T2 had no actors on stage or practical effects taking place. THAT’S the difference, and it’s bonkers to me that pointing out that objective observation is so controversial. People are acting like the entirety of the future segment is being performed live.You are aware that your opinion is just that, right?
I loved this show as it was indeed a movie with live stunt actors. It was the best sequel in my opinion to T2. I thought the live action parts where very well integrated in it and the movie took you out of the theater. And because of that it was wildly different than Muppets. And that is fine because Muppets wants you to be in their theater but Terminator made a transition from theater to the future.
I expect you are going to have a problem with Bourne too as I have the feeling it is going for the same thing.

Nowhere have I said I didn’t like T2. I enjoyed it. But let’s not turn it into WaterWorld with a screen just because it closed.
Maybe it’s because I just don’t have an emotional connection to any of the Terminator films. But I also don’t have a connection to the Bourne films.
And while I do have a deeper emotional connection to Muppets, MuppetVision was still the FIRST theme park attraction to introduce live performers, animatronics, and practical effects synched to a 3-D movie. Just because the franchise isn’t action, people are discrediting its influence.
I don;'t know where you get performers from. It was one guy in a character suit running in from a side door with a flashlight, who jumped around to synched dialog and ran out. There were 4 stunt performers in T2. And if you want to be nitpicking, Captain EO had synched in=theater effects before MV.Bourne is intended to be a “live, action movie.” That is, an action movie with live performers and action.

Who are you trying to sell a closed attraction on? Obviously, my point that an MuppetVision introduced many of the narrative elements used in T2 is just too much for some people. Every single point is shouted down with, “But T2 had MOAR.”I don;'t know where you get performers from.

T2 was, at the time, one of the most advanced shows in an indoor theater. MV was no where near as complex. Just programing the hydraulic lifts itself was a nightmare - and that had to synch with film, sets, etc. One of my friends worked on the programming for T2 and the fact that it looked so seamless and non-revolutionary belies the fact it was, in fact, incredibly complex. Also they had to transition from live action/film to film, back to live action/film. (Most people never even noticed that the host stand actually sank down into the stage and was covered by a platform).
And the film itself was, at the time, a complex marvel - no only running in 3D but was actually enhanced to look sharper (Cameron is a noted 3D fanatic). At the time it was, per minute, the most expensive movie ever produced.
Why are we going in circles?
Not sure they've been able to pin down a new opening date yet, let alone soft openings.Any news on soft opening?

Motions sickness, eh? Is the Dynamic Motion Theater still in the cards?
