so....let's say they were thinking about updating the attraction within a few years
I watched today the old version of UoE and noticed a few things:
while very scientific, the old version was sporatic.
the preshow went in no real pattern about energy forms...except it loosely explained various energy forms and how we controlled them.
then theater 1...BOOOM...fossil fuels in your face....diorama...and then once again a sporatic presentation in theater 2.
If a new UoE is done soon....which I think will happen sooner than later....I wouldn't be surprised if Disney dropped a celebrity on screen....and did an ala SSE with a dramatic but known voice with a few "remember how easy it was to fill up your car, think the oilmen, they got it for you".
I doubt the radok screens would ever come back, but even on flat screens a new preshow with patterns, colors, and content could do a better 8 min show explaining the UoE from natural to manmade elements....then a brief showing of what we will later see
enter theater 1....brighter curtains......and the film picks off from the preshow better explaining and with new graphics the formation of fussil fuels, their use, etc....and then we get to explore what helped make them...the dinos!
A better diroama with more use of 1982 effects....please
theater 2, and a presentation that not only shows other energy sources, but shows how they are being used, where, when and why. Get people engaged...show where we are going with this....try not to use too many statistics...it may date the show (though any presentation on energy is bound to become dated quickly
)
Bring back some stock footage of the UoE being built...and then new footage of it in use with the traveling theater
then back to theater 1 with a new 360 mirror graphics finale
oh yes....a sponsor would be needed to help pay for the bill :lol:
that way....the preshow and finale can stay around for a while....same thing with the theater 1 film and diorama...only thing that would need to change is some scenes or narration in theater 2....the most expensive being the cost to get the cameras out to film footage...but less of a cost to hire a new voice that would be needed to rerecord the entire attraction when need be.
