I think it would be fine in a park not already full of extremely similar attractions.
DH and I talk about this all the time. He has issues with screen rides (dizziness, disorientation, nausea) so he has learned its best for him to stay away from them. There's obviously so much for him to still ride, but because there are so many screen rides, it does limit him. Not to mention it's kind of boring to have multiple similar rides. I guess there's only so many types of rides to create but it'd be nice to see some other types of attractions.I think it would be fine in a park not already full of extremely similar attractions.

Imagine if a Disney park had Universal's attraction lineup, all in one park:
Tower of Terror
Rock'n Roller Coaster
Great Movie Ride
They could call it Disney's Screen Kingdom
I think the idea was they have a couple non-screen rides amidst a ton of screen rides.I definitely would not categorize these as screen rides.

I want to echo the queueing system failure. I've ridden it three times. The first two times it was in soft opening and the queue system was perfect. Rode it a few weeks ago now that it's in full operation. There was a line to get into the big lobby (along the NBC logo hall). Then once in the lobby, there was chaos. No one had any idea what they were supposed to do. Had I not ridden it before, I wouldn't have either. They've got a real challenge on their hands to get this thing working properly. One of the big features, no line, was leading people to complain and want to leave because they couldn't figure out "the line."
People enjoy the ride.So this is turning out to be a social experiment? Seems it is failing at the moment.
A couple posts on the internet doesn't mean it's confusing the majority of people.I mean the no line waiting room that is confusing people by the lack of a defined line. .

Went twice Monday and it was controlled. Still a mob but didn't impact seeing the entertainment or the artifacts. Went up after browsing the lobby and pawed with #hashtag then second time watched the Ragtime Girls do their set. Was a crowd but not jammed. Rode without seatbelt issues and with both theaters working it was 20 minutes and done. Nothing spectacular here but it was a better use of the space than Twister ever was. This will eat the crowds for years to come and sell tons of merch. What more can you ask for?I think the problem is more with how many people they're packing into the room. Both times we've gone it was pretty organized downstairs and chaos upstairs. People with the right color always seemed to be the furthest away from the entrance to the ride and had to push their way through a crowd of people with other colors to get to it. In the process other people with the right color are doing the same thing until they get to the entrance chokepoint.
They'll find their groove eventually, may have even found it by now as I haven't been on it in a few weeks.

I did the last tour the last dayCool, I'm on board with anything that keeps the crowds away from the good rides! just kidding
The best part about Twister was the control room tour, seeing the old Ghost Busters props, putting your name on the wall, then being the first in the theater to watch it.
