I just watched the video. The first half of the ride is good, if a bit too reliant on screens, then in the second half it turns into another "park the riders in front of a screen multiple times" ride. As a whole, the ride's a bit too reliant on screens - the animatronics all look good, but the screens make the attraction feel a bit empty and flat. It's definitely better than Ratatouille or Runaway Railway, if nothing else.
I think this ride would've worked better as a busbar.
I thought Disney decided to stop with the projected faces (or in this case, projected eyes).
It's not a bad idea for a ride, it just doesn't work with the trackless ride system. Trackless ride vehicles more very, very slowly. It becomes especially obvious when the ride parks in front of or crawls by a screen with frantic animation projected on it. The big empty rooms don't help much either.In this case, it’s trying to stimulate high speed chases on screens with static sets around them. I just don’t think what they were trying to do works as a ride.
