Philhar... What Am I Looking At?

[Kevin_W]

Philhar, Muppets and Magic Eye all use passive polarising 3D.

Ah, here is the thread I was remembering: https://forums.wdwmagic.com/threads/can-i-bring-my-own-3d-glasses.904320/

Star Tours was the one being called out as different (and I would assume FoP as well, given it's age).

Yes, Star Tours 2 uses Dolby 3D.

Yes, Star Tours 2 uses Dolby 3D.

In case anyone is interested in the tech here's a link to the Wikipedia page on Dolby 3D. It's interesting. None of the theaters around me use it.

Is Philharmagic still film-based or have they switched to digital?

Philhar went digital a while ago *I think*

I won a pair of Iron Man/Tony Stark 3D glasses at a trivia contest in between the Avengers1/Avengers2 double feature event. [Name the 5 actors who've played Bruce Banner/Hulk on TV and the movies.] They're really good sturdy polarized glasses I've used multiple times for 3D movies. However, they didn't work on the IMAX 3D movie. I'll have to bring them to WDW next trip and test them.

I think (just a guess on my part) that the screen of PhilHarmagic is one of those old type of screens that had tiny holes in it. On those screens, you can sometimes see the image on the wall projected behind the screen creating extra images. Can't tell for sure since you don't get to see the blank screen without a projection on it.

The correct answer is Lou Ferrigno.

I had a similar issue, but I just assumed we couldn't see the projections well because we were sitting way to the left. Where were you sitting?

The correct answer is Lou Ferrigno.

They wanted the 5 actors and not only the one who played the Hulk live, but the ones who played Bruce.

I didn't have the heart to correct the trivia masters by telling them the Bill Bixby played *David* Banner.
