I think you mean ride through

After more ride throughs I actually like the ride even more than I did originally. There are some technical quirks that will be resolved, but I think it’s done very well. Feels a lot like a navigating with a wiimote attached to a blaster

At worst a minor upgrade from Shrek. Overall net improvement, I’m not opposed.

I was mostly intrigued by the spacing as mentioned. Is it too close, will someone get hit if they get too into it?

Friend rode it three times. Says he was surprised by the length, was very confused at what to do since it seems like you just shoot whatever, and they pack you in tight so he also felt like he was a bit timid in moving the gun around so as to not hit anyone.

Said that F&F probably has a better "story" (basically saying that this one doesn't really have one), but in the end said that no matter his issues with it, he said that the general public will undoubtedly love it.

Not having a story isn't a big problem for an attraction like this, but it is just a tad disappointing when you think that SLOP could've fit there and that's a ride that could've filled the role of a smaller ride AND had a story. But it is what it is.

What’s a little chaos to keep the work day interesting?

And don’t think your hands are clean here. Where were the signs at 2 PM? I’ve been set up haha.

Story is overrated in rides, plot is what matters.

Yes - but it's not needed. The attraction will also keep tabs, too. The app just lets you get more involved with stat tracking.

If you want more space, just forget to wear deodorant.
