Are you sure you’re not thinking of fast and furious? Haha.

Says the person who has gone to WDW tons of times, but hasn't made it to ride Gringotts.

If gringotts isn’t an e-ticket... what do you count flight of passage? Ha.
Flight of Passage. WORST. OVERRATED. MOVIE. EVER.
Sorry, I just don't get the craziness for FoP. Was it expensive? Yeahl. Is the video pretty? Yeah. Is it groundbreaking in any way over the 20 year old Soarin' ride? No. one could argue it has lower resolution than the original film version even.
But, I mean, IMAX was invented, what, 50 years ago. So, we have 50 year old screen size, with a moving platform, and your legs are spread apart a few times. It's a cool ride. But barely worth much more time than the crazy long queue and preshows take.

Soarin' IMAX has been downgraded so FoP at 8kl has higher ez. Not sure what the frame rate is but I expect its over 28fps easily. The fact that the entire side of the building slides up and down gives a drop feeling Soarin' cannot match. The screen remains hidden until the show begins (unlike Soarin'). It has a highly detailed queue (with an animatronic) unlike Soarin'. The screen doesn't distort the image, unlike Soarin' .......

The soarin screen has always bugged me... this is Disney... some sort of scrim to hide the screen was really too much to ask!?
I have not seen any proof that FoP is 8k. And it doesn't really matter. 4k is MORE than enough for the imperfect human eyeballs that are viewing the video. IMAX film is arguably 8k or more, but again, your eyes simply can't see it. FoP is definitely crisper than Soarin' 1.0, ot 2.0, was.
There is most definitely warping on the edges of FoP. The strobe start is cool, but hardly new.
The motion is more than Soarin', but the video is purposely low on action to keep motion sickness down to please the masses it is targeted to.

Damn straight.
I didn't say it doesn't.
What are you expecting, a snapshot of the label of the projectors they use?
No, just info from an insider. I'm quite confident there is no such thing as an 8k 3D projector. Let alone an IMAX sized one.
And it would be fairly dumb to spend that kind of money for the ride. Let alone, I really doubt it was rendered 8k.
I'm starting to realize folks on here don't know nearly as much as they think they do
Welcome to the club!
Here you go...
DAK - AVATAR land - the specifics
In the semi-recent picture, you can see the two low-tech black mechanisms sticking down from under one of the boats. I know a few people (some on here iirc) asked about the ride system, and I kept reiterating that I'm only 99% certain it's a Jungle Cruise syle system, but, these latest...

I didn't say you said anything. Just stating my opinion.

If I may ask, why are you even here? In this thread at least, the majority of your posts seem to consist of insulting fans of Disney Parks, insulting the members here, insulting Disney's attractions, and bringing up Universal. Can't say you're making a great impression; but I'm sure you don't care.
Also, MMRR is going to consist of a hell of a lot more than just floor to ceiling screens. We've known that since basically the beginning...

Skull Island uses blending to get 8k 3D @ 60 FPS. Similar to how IMAX laser gets 4K. Also there are actually 8k 3D home projectors.
