Another true statement, if we were further from the sets they could hide the lighting way easier, in fact we wouldn't need to notice them at all. I get the notion of wanting to make us feel apart of the film with the distance, but being that close is like being on stage during a play, you see everything the actors do, stage lights, catwalks etc etc.The settings are just too close to the ride track to have any sort of staging. Unlike Pirates where there are cavernous show rooms... you barely hear 2 words of dialog before you are already past the scene..like the first scene with Scuttle....and yeah, the flash photo thing is getting out of hand on all rides... last time i went on Pirates it was more like Paparazzi of the Caribbean....
