Yes, Articos your recent posts have been a very welcomed addition to the discussion of late. Well balanced with a point of view that is often... missing here. You officially joined the list of like 4 people I follow in my news feed
It was not considered to be removed, and I’m doubtful it ever will be. Legal and safety would win this. There would be a lot of discussion in even trying to move it so it flows better within the narration and story. Guests try to stand up, they try to jump seats, they try to move car to car, they try to take pictures, you name it. They need to stay in their seat during rotation and descent or there is a real danger to both themselves and the guests around/below them. Even something falling from a pocket accidentally is a hazard during descent. And there’s a danger they could get caught during rotation. The danger isn’t they will jump, it’s that they will be standing or doing something dangerous when the car rotates and starts the descent. Guests have a bad habit of trying to do dumb things in the top of the dome. The announcement serves as a verbal cue in advance.
Thanks. If they choose to retain the video screens in car, it would seem like they could have used it to display a message at that time, rather than the poor audio. As others mentioned, there's no warning when the doom buggy turns around and descends, though it's a much shorter descent.
Me too!
I think the refurb will just be something along the lines of what was done at Carrousel of Progress at MK. The main change was just some updated technology at the end of the ride. I am sure things were “spruced up” too.
I love Judi Dench’s voice. The last time I rode, I chose to hear the narrative in Portuguese just to change things up and forgot the whole thing would be that way. It did not feel right without hearing Judi. Very soothing.
I can only imagine the kind of things that have been caught on camera in a long, dark ride...
I'm just curious if you ever experienced or saw video of the prior incarnation(s) that had things to look at besides a video screen. I don't mind Judi Dench, but the dome section and the descent were so much more satisfying in the past.
But that's not a mission or urbex, that's clearly just..... trespassing .... no matter how you try to justify it! The worst crime in the world!
The screens cause too much ambient light during the ride. Even when not displaying anything.Yes!! This ride needs closed captioning. My mother, who is deaf, love the ride but missed out on so much. When they put the screens in, I had high hopes but nope.
They're LCD right? I'd imagine if they switched to LED or OLED then the screens being black wouldn't cast any light at all, blank screen=black pixels=pixels actually turned off even though they're on.
Yep.
