Hong Kong is weird too in that they started with the D-Ticket, just opened the C-Ticket, and the E-Ticket is still a ways off.

I’m sure it’s less jarring to actual guests of the park, and I’m fully in favor of unique themes for cloned ride systems, but phased rollouts will always be kind of strange to me.

Well Six Flag's Battle for Metropolis is still the best shooter anywhere! Disney's shooters are getting worst and worst.

The originals at Six Flags Over Texas and Six Flags St. Louis cost less than $15 million each.

I still question using Spider-man as their choice, mainly because there is already a nearly perfect ride with him already at IOA. Let’s hope they improve this greatly from Ant Man

It’s hard not to think that they’re doing Spider-Man specifically because The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man is spectacular.

Copied from the HK forum:

Eh....


Um....


Look, I like Antman and the Wasp. I like the feel they gave this attraction. The story is minimal but better than Buzz.

But... THAT’S it!? Yes I’m disappointed there is no large Yeti-sized Antman animatronic like the concept art clearly showed. Disappointed but not surprised.

I AM surprised not a single target has ANY sort of physical reaction when shot. Not a spin, not a jiggle. Not even the large claws move! It feels really dead in there.

Even though I want to like this more than Buzz... man, what a step down.

How could they get it so wrong?

If I had to guess, it was at one point a properly conceived and spec’d-out attraction. It was never meant to be an E, but it would have been an upgrade to Buzz.

Then at some point, a harsh budget ax fell (maybe at the same time Arendale got revised and the Avengers E-ticket was moved down the line a year?).

Somebody might have said, “We could still build A&W as it looks, but save a million on parts and maintenance if there’s no moving parts to the attraction.” (Ok, the Hydra cooling fan is the exception.)

There also seems to be like half as many targets as there should be, right?

It looks like a talented team worked on it, but what a half-baked end result.

Ok so a few people last week were saying that The Antman attraction would give us a good idea of what the Spider-Man attraction will be like.

How are we feeling?

Personally if Spider-Man is anything like Antman give me ITTBAB back please. Antman was supposed to be Buzz 2.0 instead it’s Buzz .5

Lol

I don’t believe those people know what they’re talking about.

So Antman at HK DL is an exact clone of the Disneyland show building for Buzz correct? Does that mean it could potentially be converted into a Circle Vision theater (I know not likely, but I’m curious)

Even if it does have the same ride layout, I don’t think it would have all the load-baring walls around the perimeter like DL’s circle-vision did.

We should all keep in mind that Ant-Man and the Wasp : Nano Battle was specifically designed to please a local asian population, a lot of elements points to this : the appearance of a famous HK actress, the setting in Hong Kong, Ant Man and the Wasp saying words in cantonese in their videos...

I guess we don't have the same expectations as them. There are almost no animatronics in the whole of HKDL and it doesn't seem to bother the guests.
Looking at reactions on social networks, they feel overall happy about the attraction and that's exactly why it was built for.
Think about the number of western people visiting HKDL versus asians, Imagineering did not think about pleasing american theme park fans while building it
Spiderman will be nothing like that

I’m all for that, but you can’t tell me the Hong Kong audience wouldn’t appreciate the little nano bots moving a little bit when they are shot.

I do concur Spiderman attraction at DCA will be nothing like this.
