Are we sure that the moving elevators are still part of the queue?
Yes, and you will pick up a visual component after riding on said moving contraptions...

To clarify Phase 1, the budget wasn't really cut at all. If anything it was probably increased a bit... but so many changes were demanded by WB and their art directors, that Universal began saying, "you can have this or that, not both". That is why some things were trimmed to virtually half of what was intended and the lights, in-turn, dimmed to near blackout.
I don't think Rowling nor Uni would ever want to utilize creepy AA's of the characters instead of the photo-realism screens give.
With the right lighting, and if the vehicles are moving by fast enough, they could be plenty realistic. Probably more so than looking at a movie screen again.
Well that has to be the best news I've heard on this project yet!! I kinda figured it'd be expensive since there's supposed to be a mini-ToT elevator style ride BEFORE you board the coaster. It sounds like this will be the most lavishly themed area in USF by far! Can't imagine how beautiful the lagoon will look once London and Kong are done!
Poor choice of words on my part Teebs, robbing Peter to pay Paul is something I should focused more on.
It's one ride with two entrances in two fully-packed parks. I think It's best if they reduce the amount of riders as much as they can with making the ride for two-park ticked holders only.
Nope, no uncanny valley for me. No animatronics look like real people, not even those highly detailed wax figures from that museum look like the real people. Plus, whats the point of having a AA if you just speed right past it?
And Dan Radcliffe could look ten years younger with a little movie magic and make- up , though he in particular is not supposed to be part of the ride.
What if that screen was a 3D musion Bellatrix?With the right lighting, and if the vehicles are moving by fast enough, they could be plenty realistic. Probably more so than looking at a movie screen again.
just got off the Musion site: http://www.musion.co.uk/
If they can pull off a Tupac concert.
Wow is all I can say.
Is anyone thinking if they can pull off a digital Tupac
A digital Harry Potter is possible
We already knew this - take a look at the Forbidden Journey queue if you want to know exactly how convincing those projections can be :thumbs:

Your local theater has a ride vehicle with a motion base on a roller coaster track with themed environments?Sorry I'm just not interested in yet another 3D movie based ride. I can go to any movie theater and see spectacular 3D, but animatronics are special, and UC has the talent and the money to do this right.
I think he's referring to the fact that that Tupac appearance was created using a computer-generated face tracked onto another actor's body. Indeed, they probably can create an adequately convincing Harry Potter digitally even without Daniel Radcliffe's return.
That said, I don't think J.K Rowling would allow them to go that route. She is friends with Daniel, and would probably view a digital copy of him as disrespectful.
Disneyhead is that what they use for Christopher Walken in the Disaster queue and also FJ queue? if so, it's very impressive indeed. However,I still don't think there's anything better than a true animatronic that you can literally fly over at any angle and you're part of the scene as opposed to just looking at the scene.
