Good ol' Jack on DSNY mentions a few things to consider:
- The screens may possibly be more of a full dome.
- The areas at the end of each 'aisle of track' are big enough for good show scenes.
- While we know it's not trackless, we don't know what other capabilities the ride vehicles will have.
To these I rebut:
- The blueprints make it seem almost like the screen areas are framed in the walls. So, it's still possible for the screen to make a tall vertical curve over your vehicle, but that's not really a dome.
- While those areas might be big enough for good show scenes, the vehicles have guests on either side, back to back, like TSMM. I don't see how you're going to be able to hide a view of other vehicles / display a good show scene with this set up.
- While there might be a bit of enhanced movement, it can't be very much since this is pitched as a family ride. So maybe a Winnie the Pooh style of rocking, but nothing that causes a height requirement.
I think the worst thing about this set up is that because of the back-to-back guests and their full views of the area, I'm pretty sure we are in for a "Stark is training you" storyline. No real villains, no traveling to locations, no illusion of great heights in a city. I'm pretty sure you're going to be in a combat simulator themed to be a combat simulator.
