For every 7 positive opinions there's going to be 1 unnecessarily dramatic negative opinion.You seem to think quite highly of your knowledge of all things coasters. I'm well aware of coaster technologies, and have been riding them for decades all over the world. Again, I'm sure it can be done. As simply preprogrammed movement that starts from each block, or even from sensors on the track. However, the point has always been "why"? Is it really going to blow minds from moving to face sets and screens? ANy sets seem to be static. Screens on coasters are screeens on coasters.
I still just don't see this ride syncing rotations to keep you pointed towards things being done really to a large extent. And if it is, I don't see it wowing folks like they seem to think it will. THe ride cost an absolute fortune. You know what would have wowed folks? Having the ride stop and a scene where we're looking into the ship, and it is all animatrons, and we slowly go by, before launching off into space past starfield filled screens. THen another slowdown where a bad guy is there in his ship, maybe chasing us a bit. then back to Rocket in a scene, etc.
For almost half a billion bucks, that SHOULD have happened. Not some screens and spheres with projection mapping that you may be turned to see for 4 or 5 seconds as the coaster flys by them.
Just say it's not going to impress YOU. Saying that it's not going to impress others is assuming the opinions of millions of people in the future, some of those people who haven't even been to a Disney park yet and may be impressed by dang well anything.
