RotR: Disney is still not at Universal's level

Sorry, you said it. He gets #hosted way too often. Absolutely no one should take his opinions or reviews seriously.

Especially after riding, he gets to experience things NO PAYING GUEST will get to do.

The reason why I've mentioned it is because it's relevant to this specific thread. He's hosted by both Disney and Universal but often appears to favour Universal. He also 'rates' attractions from both parks and genuinely points out things he's not happy about. Of course he never seems to make a video based on negativity, however the idea he's never critical of certain things is laughable to those who regularly watch him as opposed to those who see him infrequently.

My main point was HE HAS NEVER REACTED TO AN ATTRACTION LIKE THIS BEFORE, EVER. Not at 'potter land' or Disney. Any 'freebies' he's received in the past have been 'earned' by enjoying things and saying they're mostly good. There is no need for him to change how excited he is in the parks, he's got the formula spot on so far and it's earned him a load of money doing it. This one video is a reaction that I've never seen before by him, it's one of genuine bewilderment by how great what he's just experienced actually was.

Add that to responses we see or hear about from others enjoying ROTR and it just adds more credibility to it all. Or choose to not watch it and ignore it, neither affects how well received this attraction is by the general park guests enjoying it. But it is relevant to this thread on the basis he's saying it's better than anything Universal has, even though he seems to visit Universal more than Disney and this thread is trying to say the opposite. Again it's all subjective but his reaction says so much.

He is only that hyped because the ride is new. Give it a few years and we will see how the ride holds up. I like the ride alot but its nothing more than a movie set fun house. something comes at you, vehicle backs up to another room, rinse and repeat.

Btw I'm excluding the escape pod since that is a whole separate system from the trackless ride vehicles.

Spiderman, go through sets, see bad guys attack, rinse and repeat
ET, go through sets on a bike, see ET's, rinse and repeat
Pirates, sail through sets, see pirates, rinse and repeat
Potter rides, look at screens, go through sets, rinse and repeat
M.I.B. go through sets and shoot aliens, rinse and repeat

I really wonder what it would take to impress some people when it comes to new attractions/attraction technology. It seems anything short of a Star Trek style holodeck isn't good enough.

If they built a holodeck, we'd get posts like this

"So, every ride from now on is going to use a holodeck is it?"
"Well even though it's impossible to distinguish between reality and holograms, you know it's not real so that's a no from me"
"I saw a piece of litter on the floor of the queue, ruined the whole trip for me so I couldn't enjoy the ride"
"There's a point in the attraction where one of the images looks slightly off for around 0.1 seconds. Took me 200+ rides to actually notice it but now I have I no longer like it. Shame on you Disney, this wouldn't happen at six flags"
"It's based on a film over 20 years old, not recent enough for most guests"
"It's based on a film that's only 2 years old, they should have used an older one to add nostalgia"
"I saw a South American tour party in the queue so didn't ride it. I'm sure I'd have hated it anyway so shame on you Disney"
"The souvenir shop at the exit ruined the whole experience"
"There was no souvenir shop at the exit, ruined the whole experience"
"There were no ramps, arghhhhhhhhhhhh"
" Back in the day the ride would have lasted 2 hours, we only got a paltry 25 minutes ride time. I'm boycotting it from now on"
"Let's see if in 30 years time people still say it's great, only then can it be judged fairly. Calm down people, it's just new ride syndrome and undeserved hype"
"My fries were cold ................. sorry wrong thread"

This is kind of the way we are with many things today.
Louis CK has a bit "Everything's amazing and nobody is happy."
"We live in an amazing, amazing world and it's wasted on the crappiest generation of spoiled idiots."
