Um, our Tower is the original. Not a clone. And the only one with the 5th dimension.
nah it ain't just you. Personally I love FJ, but my mother on the other hand cannot handle it for **** (same with the Simpsons Ride). She always sits out in the child swap whenever I go on; considers it the worst ride in the park. I'm not one to get motion sick easily but I can certainly see how the ride disorients a lot of people. I feel like it's both a case of roughness and the way the film movements sync up with the vehicle; it goes so fast that it feels "unnatural" to some and they end up nauseous. Wild Arctic at Seaworld is another big offender of this (please, tear that **** down already!)
no one in my family had a problem with FoP, though
True. It's still fun to ride but only if you look away from the screen frequently. Look around at the other cars it's cool how they work. For some reason, when you do this people feel like they're being watched, turn around and notice you watching then they elbow their friends and say, "Hey look you can see the other cars!"
I find it’s better to do River Journey first. Then FoP can seem amazing compared to it

Took first timers on it. We rounded the bend where you see unload and they said “is that it?”
Probably conceived and greenlighted at the lowest point of WDW's "lost period". I remember on the original leaked plans the boat ride had several more loops passing in and out of the building. Then they decided ... naw ...
I believe it at Epcot, I would think that once Mine Train opened MK is probably a little higher, although the loss of the railroad may have reverted it back to the Skyway days.
That makes me chuckle. When I first started going there every single attraction was not previously seen. The internet was not the magic that it is today in 1983. So I have experienced it both ways and find that each had it's own positive thing. Not seeing it before gave us a instant surprise, but, so many things were happening all at once that it was impossible to really focus on anything special. Now being able to see it on video does give us an idea of how it generally looks, but in no way does it begin to give the same experience as actually seeing it in person. The detail is so much clearer, the dimensions and colors are much more vibrant and there are so many things that you didn't see because the person with the camera was only facing one way when it actually is pretty close to a 360 degree experience. It does help people with certain phobias to make a decision about riding or not. I'm not sure why that wasn't a problem back in 1983.
You should see what the Simpson ride was like when it was Back to the Future. That was the most active simulator in all of central Florida. With the exception of the Kennedy Space Center I would imagine. It was also the easiest to keep up with. It wasn't near as choppy as the Simpson ride film wise and had a much more followable path and story.nah it ain't just you.

I think it’s still overall more impactful to first experience an attraction yourself, and then go back and watch videos for things you might have missed after. I can’t even tell you how many ROTR experience videos I’ve watched on YouTube. Partially because I like to see potentially different effects, and partially because I love to see how excited everyone is on their first ride.
Simpson’s is horrendous. I don’t get motion sickness very easily, rode that a couple years ago and felt incredibly nauseas. I have an AP and skip it from now on. Forbidden Journey is fine one time through, a second time in a row is pushing it.
I felt Back to the Future was more of a puke machine.
I was a bit younger then, so maybe I was less prone to the motion sickness haha
I am not bias nor am I a diszoid ,I just do not compare disney to uni since I have not been there in over 10 years.
