Okay so am I the only one who thinks that this park is coming together really nicely and has some REALLY good attractions that need to find their way to the US? (I'm looking at Tron, the Jetpacks, Pirates, Roaring Rapids, and Camp Discovery)

It looks like a solid park, but I'm okay with most of the changes/ new attractions staying in Shanghai. Pirates looks amazing, but I wouldn't give up DL's version to get it; I'll be happy if Star Wars incorporates some of that nifty tech. Pan's pretty good, but kinda ruined for me by the lousy sequel music, (but DL could definitely use that neat Skull Rock splashdown effect).The nonstop kazoo music on the spinning Pooh Pots is beyond awful. The maze and castle walk-throughs look like once-and-dones, and, Crystal Grotto would be nice if it used AAs instead of statues. Couldn't care less about the jet packs, and I'd pick Space Mtn. over Tron.

All that said, it does look like a terrific park, but Mystic Manor in Hong Kong is still the only overseas ride I'd really love brought to the States.

this video provides the entire queue area of Pirates and the best quality so far of Jack Sparrow transformation effect (starts at 4:19). Also, Jack Sparrow AA 's finger movement is amazing. The mouth movement is perfectly synchronized to the Chinese he spoke too. Truly amazing details! Thanks for whomever posted the video.

Translating the first half of the ride:

Talking skeleton:
"Follow the infamous Jack Sparrow, have some fun!"
"Remember to bring enough courage"(what says after is not clear)
skeleton laughing

A male's Voice (Jack Sparrow?):
"Treasure!" "It's everything, isn't it?"
"That's why you came here." "That's why you'd like to be pirates."

Blurry voice from skeleton around a table, could not hear clearly. Some thing about Jack Sparrow.

A male's voice again(Jack Sparrow?):
" So, still dreaming about those jewels? Then you came to the right place"
"Tonight, we will go after what legends said the grandest jewels ever, David's Jones' sunken treasure!"
"Be careful crew, the distant storm is in fermentation".

Sparrow's AA appeared from the form of skeleton :
"Oh, I am just too incredible" (referring his transformation and looking at himself)
"Haha, right on time, my loyal crew, Captain sparrow is at your service." (Bow to guests)
"Alright, now we will go after Davy Jones' sunken treasures. Uh, I keep saying we (pointing at himself), actually I meant you ( pointing at guests). Down!" (waving at guests, finger moving indicating goodbye).

Mermaids singing(not sure what they sing)

two faces on the box
Face A: "Oh, the treasure hunters are here."
Face B: "Huh? Call the guards!"
Face A: "You idiot! We are the guards!"
Face B: "Oh then, I will most definitely not tell them the sunken treasures are right here"
Face A: "Shut up! "

Looks Great! However, about a month ago SDL was testing high level pyro. That wasn't in this performance. Was that just for the Grand Opening Spectacular or will that be in Ignite The Dream?

Saw on twitter that SDL dropped the theme song for Ignite. Do we know if there was ever a theme song since SDL isn't even open yet???

That climactic ship battle really loses its magic when the ride stalls. Timing is everything with these screens. Still love it, though!

We get to see it reset while we're in the middle of the scene. This is something they need to fix. I hope they're not running into capacity issues already. Because said "fix" would definitely decrease capacity.

The problem seems to worsen as the ride heads through it's latter half. I don't think we've seen the finale treasure scene as it's intended, yet. (Though that could be the camera's fault)

Having said all that it's still an incredible dark ride. And it's a nice unique feature Shanghai will always be proud of like HK's Mystic Manor. And full disclosure: I actually enjoyed seeing it glitch up a bit. It lets you "peek under the curtain" a little, so to speak.

So.. between the original castle show at WDW, WoC, Dreams at DLP.. are others finally tired of these simple montage shows yet?

I liked the early MK show, minus the 'send us your photos' segment, because it was a bit creative about what they were doing with the animations, etc. WoC had the awe of the fountains, while the actual film stuff was pretty weak.. the intensity of the light and artistry of the fountains really carried it. Dreams at DLP looked like a nice integration of the various techs.. but never really 'bit' me.

The format reminded me a bit of Remember.. from DLR as well.. which I felt kind of dragged on after the first few segments, but the punch of several and the overall show kind of makes you forget the flatter spots.. plus it was walking through a story for the most part that at least had some framework that seemed interesting. That and the technology integrations it brought with the park immersion really made it a great show.. so the dragging on a bit could be overlooked.

But this latest show really does nothing for me, and seems to play on the elements I'm finding less and less attractive.
1) Water Screens... they served a unique purpose in F!, but I'm not a huge fan of them as just a temporary screen
2) The movie montage format - I get incredibly bored with this quickly.. I mean 5mins into watching this show I was already skipping ahead. The lack of some interesting plot/connection and the timing really just bore me quickly.
3) The projection tech on the castle looks cool.. the lasers, etc... but it just seems to lack any real draw besides being an attractive backdrop. The stuff they are projection mapping is like just dancing background vs itself actually being compelling. I actually found some of the segments right at the end, after the movie segments at least a bit more interesting with the projection mapping.
4) Content that really has no placement value besides being the popular movie. When the star wars sequence showed up, I threw up a little in my mouth. It's just like seeing a big movie screen without any real placement value.. wth..

Anyone else feeling the same? These lets replay the movie clips of our favorite movies without any real reason besides they are the popular movies? No real continuity or reason for the pieces to go together as a show? I found the mickey and the opening the door at the start of the lion king thing cute.. but past that.. I mean I couldn't sit there and just watch the entire show straight through.

Now I love the original movie characters, and their different music, etc.. but can we actually get a show that keeps you engaged and seeing something that is unique.. instead of just dancing light structures around movie clips?

What about the Tokyo fireworks show/projection show. There was a bit where Gaston and the Beast were fighting on the castle.
