That would be amazing! Even a where you could turn up the intensity level would be awesome, but fully controllable? EPIC
Edit: lol I didn't know the k.n.o.b was a bad word.

I believe it's like saying "You're all set" or "then, you're done"

This is the deciding factor for me with 3D TV home glasses, so I bet it would work.
If you have good peripheral vision, any light on the sides or anything you can see is totally distracting. Not to mention, reflections in the glasses can also mess with the effect. I finally found good 3D glasses that were wrap-around, and they are fantastic. I really was never in to watching 3D at home after I bought the thing, because the standard ones are like classic "nerd" glasses and don't cover the sides at all. I even did what you said - I used some tape and some black poster board and rigged up the other ones, too.
I'm sure Disney knows this about 3D glasses, but because stupid guests put them on too early they chose the open design.
(I'm thinking of bringing my own next time - not the TV ones, of course, but my own set of polarized that work with other 3D park films, to see how that works - I am pretty sure the technology is the same - @marni1971 ?).

A point of note on motion sickness. Flight of Passage did not bother my wife. Certain segments (mainly the larger banshee knocking you out of the air) came close, but she's ridden it 3 times now without issue. She will not ride Star Tours, Simpsons, Forbidden Journey, Spider-Man or Transformers.

I'm usually fine on most of these. Rode Simpsons a couple months ago and it was awful. Easily the most nauseating

I'm literally sat at my office desk right now. Inside. Not moving. Not near Harry Potter.
Your day rules.
After finally riding FoP, I think part of the issue with the preshow actor's performance stems from the fact that it sounds (to me at least) as if his voice was dubbed. The volume sounds too consistent to be the live recording. So you miss a lot of the atmospheric sounds that make it sound more natural. Plus, when you have to match dubbing with a prerecorded video, the performance can come off as even more stilted.
Maybe @marni1971 can confirm if it was dubbed (or at least give his expert opinion).

The attention that the pre-show guy is getting is astounding to me.
I don't think it was dubbed. When he turns his head and body to push a button, the sound level drops off.
I noticed that too. But that is the only variance in sound level. Several times he gets a little closer and further away, with no discernible drop in level. That one head move would be very obvious to who ever was mixing. The rest of the time the level is extremely consistent.
I've spent a fair amount of time in a recording studio, and can usually pick up on dubbing. I may not be right in this case, but if I am, I think it contributes to the stilted delivery.
