It’s Tough to be a Bug (Literally)

The screen for Tough to be a Bug froze right after the spray.

Not fog affects happened. No spiders came down. After the spider segment ended, the screen clipped back to the normal show.

I’ve never seen a 4D film break like that and just get back on track.

Also... Hopper’s right eye doesn’t move at all. Been like that for a year.

Not an expert on film... Is it digital or are they still using actual film? Actually now that I think about it, that sounds more like a computer control issue than a film issue if there were multiple show effects impacted... Assuming this isn't just standard now?

My favorite thing that happens at this show regularly is the techs forgetting to turn off back of house lights behind the screen. It causes the image to look extremely whited out and faded.

That may have been true. But no spiders, no fog, and also the screen was frozen on the spray can until after the “back off spiders, they’re mine” line

I believe they switched it to digital not too long ago. I think China and the One Mans Dream movies are the only actual “film” left, unless voyage ever re-opens with its film.

It’s been glitchy for a while but I’ve never witnessed it that bad as you’ve described. As an attraction that’s based in the icon of the park it deserves the attention it needs to make it work and work well. Disneys got lots of excuses for why things aren’t up to standards but they need to stop the excuses and get to work with solutions. Sound familiar execs all across the country?

Just yet another example of Disney at its finest…first timers (or even second timers) will never know (or care), that AA’s and effects aren’t working…but we do and it’s becoming ever more obvious that we don’t matter…like some of the inhabitants, maybe the attraction is becoming extinct too…as much as I miss him, I think Joe Rhode knew it was time to go…

You know what made me feel better today, though? A packed house and every single thing working smoothly on Muppet Vision.😊

With as many effects Muppets has, and it’s age, you’d thing Bugs would be in better shape.

Everything?
All animatronics? Both physical curtains? Let's Burn rubber fog blast? I would love that news.

From what I read the now defunct DCA version that was sent off to Yesterland in 2018 to make way for Avengers Campus had better (digitial) projectors and the Flik and Hopper figures were better taken care of.

Yes. Everything. Even the rubber fog blast.

Beanie Bunnie, Statler, Waldorf, Swedish Chef, Cannon, Burn Rubber, Arrows, Fireworks, Sweetums, every Penguin animatronic, the walls.. and I didnt even know that mist came out of the wall explosion until yesterday.

Muppets is in fantastic shape. As of yesterday. Statler and Waldorf were smooth.

Once again the now defunct DCA version of MuppetVision did more better looking curtains and some other more refined details (for example the projectors fade out once the curtains are fully shut on the DCA version while on the HS version it fades out before the curtains are shut) but correct me if I am wrong but from watching videos it seemed like the DCA version lacked the rubber fog blast and I know for sure they did not copy over the firework effects either. Why do you think the DCA version lacked those effects?

Sneezy isn’t working on Seven Dwarfs.

On little mermaid, Ariel’s mouth doesn’t work, sebastian’s digital eyes swapped with static plastic eyes... let’s just say mermaid is a nightmare.

Philharmagic is fine.

Well here's the test run of when the show first started this at least shows the AA's better..plus you can see the reactions of the AA's during the film...
