Meh, high quality zone lit LCDs can produce near blacks and won't suffer the issue. My QLED Samsung TV produces very deep blacks. Not as good as OLED, but if OLED is going to look like crap in 6 months, what's the point?

It's the wrong application of OLED if they are going to have static images, period. Now we have to watch a terrible picture until they swap them.
Remember, this attraction opened in 2017.

Unfortunately, display technology wasn't quite at that point yet 2-3 years ago. Nowadays, it'd most definitely be smart to replaced with better display tech.

Disney definitely has the financial wherewithal to pay for replacement. Unfortunately, this is more selectively budgeted to the DAK bottom-line and thus it probably will not get replaced until after the 50th shindig is over. Priorities!

The guy is annoying and his part should absolutely be re-shot, but everything else about the two pre-shows is really cool. The presentation is top notch.
I don't know what they were thinking. Thematically it makes no sense. Why would a high tech experience be controlled by an annoying imbecile?

Uh, um, so were gonna like fuse your brain to, uh, um, uh some kind of Avatar using uh, um like um your DNA.

He's perfectly capable and intelligent - he's just an awkward and nerdy young scientist. It's a routine procedure that was developed by Jackie Ogden, and while she's off doing real science, he's running the day to day operations.

Yeah, this is what they were going for. It just comes off as too forced and unnatural. However, he doesn't say "uh" as often as people think he does.

This.

I think the pre-show creates just the right impression of being a real place with a real young scientist communicating to us, rather than a theatrical presentation. It's exactly what one would expect if the story were really happening. And for me, that makes the experience more realistic, immersive, and exciting. It also creates a powerful contrast with the ride experience, making the latter that much more dramatic.

Note that this setup (storywise) is different from the Dino Institute. In Dinosaur/CTX, you're invited in to experience a new, experimental technology, the Time Rover. Because of how new this is (and there is no native guide, like in Flight of Passage), Dr. Seeker is your friendly controller the whole time. He's a scientist who worked on the Time Rover, intimately familiar with how it works, which is needed when it comes to a "little trans-dimensional joyride."

It's somewhat new and experimental tech operated by the creator, versus relatively older and stable tech operated by a trainee of the creator.
