Isn’t it some proprietary car that was also used for Transformers?

The Spider-Man / Transformers / Jurassic World ride vehicle is a proprietary bus bar dark ride vehicle with a motion base. While Oceaneering would eventually handle assembly for Islands of Adventure and manufacture the vehicles for all subsequent rides using the system, it is not Oceaneering’s Evolution dark ride system which is an imitation of Universal’s system.

Sadly…it’s my roleParty pooper
I want more stuff more than anyone…but I have zero faith that they are looking to spend any capex for a long time
Coming
…and I believe the Oracle Agrees with me.
It’s trackless…so I’ll throw you a bone and say that probably makes it more attractive to them

Which one is thought to be opening first? I’ve not been following GotG progress much.

I'm pretty sure Tron is further along...

I believe so…I think they’re looking at “staggered openings?” Maybe spring and then mid summer?
…provided they don’t mothball them if travel is slow into next year.

That’s what I thought too, although I’ve seen some say otherwise (elsewhere).

With the U.K. and E.U. travel opening up? I don’t think things will be slow next year. There are thousands of U.K. guests alone with rescheduled trips from November this year all the way to Fall of next.

TRON is set for Spring 2022. Guardians is summer or fall depending on who you ask. I bet it opens 10/1.

Internationals account for 10-15% of the total customers at wdw on average.
US travel is depressed again after a short bump in june/July
thousands?? Unless they’re all coming in the same week or two…it doesn’t raise the needle that much

I agree with that assessment
openings are no longer based on completion…as they always had been

How does the Dinosaur/IJA ride vehicle differ? I know it's not the same ride system at all, but not sure the ways in which either is "better" than the other in terms of capabilities.

The rumor is that the ride track and System is EXACTLY the same…
…Eisner got a BOGO deal

I think he means Dinosaur/IJA vs Spiderman, not vs. each other

The short version would be motion and speed. The EMV doesn’t have as much motion, mainly in terms yaw (spin). They also have the slot where they are actually powered and propelled which allows for greater speed and was iterated upon to create Test Track.

What's left? Levitating rides? Is there something newer then trackless out there that I didn't hear about? What should they be building now? Omni rides have gone way past their life span along with Animatronics. Screens are the most current and well done things, but it is almost a sin to even mention that to the die hard Disney Fan. Rollercoaster styles are pretty much in demand for Disney right now but that is transforming the place from Disney into a fancy six flags. I still enjoy Omni rides but those don't increase one heart rate to an sufficient cardio number, so what is the next big thing. I will grant you that I no longer keep up with those things so is there something that will replace the trackless vehicles?

To bad he couldn't get the same deal on the story line. Indy is a much better ride then Dino. No comparison really. I think it is even the same track layout, just a different better story.

I like ctx…but of course the IJA had more native appeal
