New Disneyland Big Thunder effects will they come to WDW?

[RSoxNo1]

I know we all lament the loss of the falling rocks but let's not pretend that they really looks like the rocks were going to fall on us. This looks substantially better, hopefully a similar quality scene will be added to Florida.

Wow, those 'smoke' blasts make all the difference in the finale (comparing to the longer vid when they were off)!

Looks like a superb revision of a classic. Kudos to those involved.

Wow, I mean....WOW!!!!! The bats and fuses in the other video were impressive enough, but THIS!!!!

TDA does it again! TDO...hang your heads in shame!!! SHAME!!!!!

Wow....those effects were amazing. It's a shame they always make the Disneyland rides better.

Wow! Wish I hadn't watched that, WDW's BTMRR will be so blasé to me next weekend! Haha! Can't wait to get to DLR in 2015 and see this for myself.

Why do things have to be so different on the east coast and west coast? Just askin?

Kind of reminds me of the mine explosion in Grizzly Gulch at HKDL.

I read it's based on the HKDL ride.

Its little updates like this that make a classic seem so new. Updates like this one would go a long way in attractions such as BTMRR.

Looks like a mixture of fiber optics, projection mapping as well as some simple smoke effects

More likely LED light ropes with programmable sequencing, which would last forever.
But the smoke in Florida would join the Yeti, way down memory lane.

....You honestly think that's rope light? It's image-mapping projection, people! Yikes.

This looks like just some projection and fog/lighting effects, not exactly too much for maintenance hopefully

Tell that to Davey Jones...

It's very cool looking and harps back to what Disney used to be great at. Let's hope they keep it functiong

It's all about effort... their BTMRR just went through basically a total rebuild of the ride system, their town scene (never in WDW), and replace the 3rd lift effects which had been globally disabled. Ours? They skimped... but still managed to add the interactive queue...

What I don't get is, you can see that when put to it imagineering can totally enhance a room with just some very simple and beautiful effects, so my question is. What the heck went wrong with the little mermaid?

Walt Disney Imagineering has different teams responsible for different parks and projects.

It doesn't look much different from the dynamite interactive they have now. It's just in your face on the DL ride.
