This has been discussed before, quite a few pages back. Ultimately it’s what I’m hoping for most out of a refurb. Let us listen to all of the old narrations, give us Imagineering commentary, then let us choose between various new voices for the new script. I think it’s the best way to honor the park’s history with all the changes going on.
There's always this beast lurking in the background waiting to pounce on such expansive ideas : budgetary constraints.
You think adding options to the onboard screens for guests to choose from multiple soundtracks would be expensive?
I think of this as not so much an expansive idea. Sure it changes the ride significantly, but only by allowing guests to experience previous audio that they already have primarily. And they already have the screens as well. I think it’d be a small portion of the budget for a significant ride experience upgrade.
Ya it wouldn’t be perfect, so perhaps having them front and center wouldn’t work. Could always be a hidden menu like Rip Ride Rocket has to get the other audios.
You'd rather be puked on under the bushes than immortalized in the AVACS?
At least that is a part of nature. I can live with that
I got to speak with George about 8 years ago, and it was fascinating to chat about Horizons. That place had an impact...
The refurb concept art never had any touchscreens in it. But then again, this is just a drawing, so who knows.
The screens (their "boxes") are still there, they just aren't colored in.
Wouldn't they just be "off" during that portion of the ride anyway?
I would think they would highlight their existence if they were plan to be used in the refurb.
That's the problem. They love their screens and glasses, so they think that is doing it with love. Sets, stories, and animatronics are old and what Walt would have done. They are more advanced.
