I worry that if Figment moves to the Magic Eye the actual ride would be earmarked for IPI am BEGGING for WoL
Another thing that popped into my head thatād be an easy win with fans in the meantime, would be a Dreamfinder & Figment 4D film for Magic Eye. Something they could announce at Destination D alongside an SSE redo, as an obvious tease theyāve got bigger plans for the pavilion.
Maybe so, but if Inside Out were added Iād be more concerned thatād seep into the attraction itself more than anything. Neither are likely scenarios imo, weāll prob get something completely diff for Magic Eye, unrelated to IO or Figment. It would be interesting if they decided on gutting Magic Eye for queue space for version 4, IF they decide on using a decent chunk of the Imageworks for a preshow
Even then, OLED screens seem like a luxury to have on rides. Many older screens have been replaced by cheaper LED/LCD screens that do not have good black levels to them.
I would argue SSE has the bones of a good ride that is being hampered by an awful script and lack of a satisfying ending.
How is it a more pressing issue? Itās still one of the best rides at the resort.
I also fail to see how this is the case. I understand the supposed structural issues that need to be addressed, but other than those and the descent being updated, nothing needs to be, or SHOULD be, touched in SSE. I could maybe justify a few tweaks in show scenes on the back half of the ride, but thatās it. Also, last I checked, SSE was last touched up in 2007. Figment was butchered all the way back in 2002.
I definitely donāt disagree that it needs attention, and they shouldāve been on it ages ago. I just feel as though JII is also desperately in need of attention, like yesterday. Ideally, both would go down at the same time, but current Disney likely wouldnāt do something like that. At this point, itād be nice if they just gave either one some attention haha.
No risk of thatā¦ classic example of āYou had to be there.ā
I see a lot of little kids with Figment gear. I donāt think they were there.
This. Figment is kind of embarrassing and blah, but Spaceship Earth is the parkās icon and thesis statement. It also needs extensive mechanical work, not just a narrative overhaul. Ideally, both would happen ASAP, but SSE definitely has first dibs in my book.
I didnāt realize Disney used OLEDs at their parks at all. Itās an awesome technology, but it doesnāt seem practical for a theme park, unless theyāre using a more durable type of OLED screen or they switch them out often?
