[SilentWindODoom]

The new banner is exactly the type of typeface and appearance people have been asking for.

I wonder if designers smoothed out the ride best they could when this thing was drained

This 1970’s style water trough ride’s bump, shake, rock and herky- jerky delivery had many moments of slight discomfort.

((I guess I’ve been spoiled with Cosmic Rewind’s smooth delivery))

It’s a log flume built in the 1990’s…

That may be my fault - I took the screenshot on my phone on terrible wifi, so it was in like 720p

No, I watched the official video and it still doesn't look great, this is a bad look imo, it goes by so quick to get an actual impression.

If you got a ton of B-roll and are tasked with stitching quick snippets of a ride, you don't show a grassy scene and leave people guessing where that is.... you grab snippets of the signage.

But other than that, I can see how signs are the enemy of all that is good and holy.

This only holds if yesteryears rock work and trees are just as good as todays. I bet they are not. I bet medium and trade practices have improved since 1992…..

They were never going to redo the rockwork on the entire mountain once they decided they were keeping it a mountain. That would simply be wasteful when what is there looks good, regardless of trade practices. The interior trees and rockwork already flow pretty seamlessly with the exterior. Do we really want budgets being directed so irresponsibly?

Not sure how much more carefully I needed to read it.

If you want the attraction to stand on its own as its own attraction and not a retheme, then yes. Lazy rethemes just invite folks to make comparisons and rarely does the lazy newer version fare better than the purpose-built version with nostalgia softening the edges.

If they were going to turn Pirates into a ride themed around Coco, I wouldn't just want to see them paint the city sets with brighter colors, I'd want new scenes to reflect the new artistic direction.

1970s  style

they were saying it's a 1970s ride system.

Why??

Why is that good? To me that indicates cutting corners. Cost savings close to always hurts the final product’s quality.

I swear Disney can’t win with some of you guys.

If they would have got rid of all the original sets and left it a shell of its former self there would have been outrage.

It’s not necessarily cheaper considering what they had to fix to get the attraction up to modern standards.

Fair enough Peter,

I see how you thought I saying it was **BUILT*** in the 70’s …… I’m saying it was reminiscent or styled like the many trough water flumes found around the US in the 1970’s
I know it was a 1992 release and California’s I think ‘89

Yet people don’t seem to mind that recycled animatronics made up a huge proportion of Disneyland’s Splash Mountain. Indeed, Tony Baxter has acknowledged that the IP was selected precisely to find an appropriate theme for those very animatronics.

What’s so complicated? All they needed to do was change everything while not changing anything.

We should not forget that this is a glorified reskin.

So if they reuse stuff its standard operating procedure.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Weren't people lamenting much earlier how it would be a tragedy if they didn't keep a lot of the scenery?

On the other hand- Cosmic Rewind is the only ride on property that has made me barf.

Oh I believe ya!!
.but I would have guessed Mission Space would have got you before Rewind

Never did but it was close! I think the rotating ride vehicle got me.

@Jambo Dad , you gotta go to Boma AFTER riding Cosmic rewind

You are right - it wasn’t on an empty stomach!
