Have you been on it? There's only one joystick and a single button (job) for each seat. One seat has one responsibility. Not everyone gets to use the joystick. I typically get to put us in hypersleep...or, I just push a button that doesn't do anything.
Each seat has two responsibilities. If you were the engineer and had to initiate hypersleep you would also have extended the wings for gliding.
A pilot or captain is chosen before you get on. Really, I don't see how an interactive joystick would work because people would want to deliberately crash the craft and mess up the story, unless they took away control of the craft and put it on auto pilot, which defeats the purpose. Like someone doesn't activate the hyper sleep, it'll do it anyway. The only thing I can think of to make it interactive is possibly flying through an asteroid field or just selecting your destination... You know, like HORIZONS used to.
Of course I've been on it, numerous times. But, what you are advocating is a different experience for every one of the four people in the module? Am I reading that right? If so, all I can say is don't ever hold your breath waiting for that in your lifetime. That would make no sense at all and speaking of senses all dialog would have to be either given separately via headphones or none at all. Don't think that would work and even if it did, it doesn't sound like fun. Since it is a movie and not real life, you will still have to take direction from someone and what you do will have absolutely no impact on anything at all. It will, like now, be allegedly computer overridden.
wdwthemeparks.com is a great site for following the timelines of important rumors and when certain details came about. I personally recommend it as a quick overview of news and rumors found across the internet, including WDWMagic.com. Of course, not as detailed as info here, but good place to look if behind on the rumor timelines.
I know, that's what made me think about it. Your timeline is very informative and unlike wdwthemeparks.com is accessible all from one page. Thanks for all of this information, there have been several times where I needed to catch up on what everyone was talking about and this timeline is a great way to so! ☺
There are many ways to view them on my site "in one place"
Agreed, by no means am I trying to dismiss what @MisterPenguin is doing here. We've talked and there are benefits to both approaches.
the shaking is probably accurate though
The only somewhat decent part is when the doors above open into "space"
Oh boy...
