Has anyone heard anymore about an opening date for Disaster?

Is it true that they've used a Pepper's Ghost effect to make it look like Christopher Walkin is actually walking around in the preshow room?
From what I've heard on IOACentral its really good, at least as good as EQ can be. I so can't wait to ride it once its completely finished.

I was at the park this afternoon, no signs of life behind the wall while I was there but plenty of painting going on over at the Simpsons. I'll be very interested to see how these two rides end up.

Yes, and it's accomplished very well as he seemlessly interacts with the set. It looks great!

I would expect it in May like they did Mummy. That way, they'll get you to come back for Mardi Gras from Feb-April, then they'll get you to come back again once they open Simpsons in May, then again for Halloween, and again for Macy's/Grinchmas. They got the whole year figured out!:lol:

LOL! January 2008. I liked all the old attractions b-roll in that. Good find!
That's awesome! :lol: I marked for the BTTF T-Rex, the Dynamite Stunt Spectacular footage, and the shot of the guy falling off the building that was always used in the old promo videos that were on hotel TVs. :lol:
Can't wait to get on this, they seem to be doing a great job.

Is it really Pepper's Ghost their using or are they just projecting on a scrim somewhat like the Nemo at Epcot technology? I am very interested in this because for once it seems like Universal has actually achieved an effect at the quality of Disney. However they achieve the effect it is extremely well done. It really looks like he is standing there.

It's Pepper's Ghost. The image is being projected down below the stage, and there is an angled pane of glass that catches the reflection.

Guess they've never experienced Spider-Man, something Disney has never been able to duplicate.

Yeah. Wow. It's too bad. If uni had more money, they have the capability to do some great things. But it takes $$$ to make $$$...
Went on Disaster today, it was great. I love the second pre-show.
