Don't get me started on the theme of that ride. His Dad went through hell to find him in the original movie. So he decides to purposely go missing again? What a brat.

The Indy refurb will be similar. Throughout the ride, Indy will be looking for Short Round frantically calling out for him while the little tyke his hiding behind bushes giggling.

Like the Tiana reskin didn't matter because its is still a fun log flume no matter what.
I think the same will apply to the reskin to Indy, it still be a fun ride.

It’s not because Nemo is never taken by the dentist. He interacts with characters that he never met in the first movie (Crush & Bruce). He’s just playing a cruel one-sided game of hide & seek.

Maybe I need to watch the first movie again. 😂 I could have sworn it followed the first movie, minus the dentist. 🤪

I’d say Nemo is, although it was technically a downgrade of the preexisting seacab attraction

The Nemo queue is more interesting than the omnimover ride.

I’m not sure there’s a bigger downgrade than the Living Seas to Seas with Nemo. The hydrolaters were … ok, sorry, @MisterPenguin, now I’m just messing with ya.😊 Thanks for trying to keep thing on track.

Other than issues with maintenance, I always find trackless rides to be more immersive, exciting and variable over omnimover rides. The step-down comparing an older ride like Haunted Mansion to Ratatouille has nothing (to me) to do with the ride system - it's more of a design and scope issue. I've seen some people say they all feel the same, but omni rides feel the same, if not more so than trackless. It's the theming around them that makes them excellent rides. To compare Ratatouille to Rise is to compare a tv dinner to 5-course meal from Gusteau's.

Why are people so sick of / annoyed with trackless but not omni? Trackless feels like an evolution over omni in everything except down time and ride capacity.

Just curious people's reasoning.

I think it's more to so with the repeated use of trackless rides since 2019: Rise of the Resistance, Mickey and Minnie’s Runaway Railway x2, Beauty and the Beast at TDL, Ratatouille, and Zootopia at Shanghai.
There was a worry that boat rides would become flavor of the month with 3 Frozen boat rides (Tokyo, Hong Kong and Paris), Tangled at Tokyo DisneySea, Tiana's Bayou Adventure, Lion King at DLP, Coco at DCA and Avatar at DCA. So an omnimover dark ride amongst the many trackless and boats just feels like a good different

That's true. I actually like the main show scene and the Ursula animatronic... but it definitely has awful story pacing and is missing some scenes.

And then yeah, even though I don't hate it I can't really think of a single omnimover outside of Nemo I would "take" Mermaid over lol. Maybe current Figment? Which isn't a traditional omnimover anyway.

Can Figment be considered an omnimover if it stops moving at various points (on purpose)?

No. It's described as "Omnimover-like" but it isn't a true Omnimover.

Figment is more of a classic Fantasyland dark ride that stops at specific scenes, but certainly not an Omnimover. An Omnimover has to have consistent movement.

I believe the original JII was an omnimover. Perhaps @marni1971 could explain how the current system differs.
