TT 2.0 is better than 1.0
Never got to try 1.0 but boy current version is awful how much worse could it be ?. Driving the kids to school is more exciting and we legally drive quicker.
Removing the make your own car asthethic would be the first to go.
Current TT is one of my family's favorite rides. My son loves the make your own car aspect. TT 2.0 is a really good attraction that just needs a little something more to be great. And it's much better than 1.0 was.
It's the feature I love the most along with the final outdoor speed test. To each their own, I guess..
Personally think it is pretty well executed and a fun part of the experience. Better than just continuing the queue, and much better than some other preshows. e.g. Dr. Stevens telling us to “move around a little”
That part is nice, and the actual designing is pretty great instead of just standing in line. The real problem is that it is 100% irrelevant to the ride you’re getting on. Best case scenario is that a picture of your car shows up a couple times in the ride, but usually those screens aren’t working or synced with the ride so you just see random cars if any.
Interesting... I believe the FoP preshow is the perfect amount of interactive/time-killing/distraction. Yes it's only there to hold you before the next pre-show, but I feel that it works with the story; killing bacteria before a scientific 'procedure'. In all the times I rode it, every guest had fun with it. If it entertains a vast majority of riders, kills time in line, and preps them for attraction, what's the harm?
I just really really do not like Dr Stevens. He comes across as a complete idiot. It’s like he was reading the script for the first time while they were filming and has no idea what he is saying. Dr Ogden’s scenes are much better, and the interactive Kinect stuff is great. But Dr Stevens ruins the entire thing for me, and detracts from the overall ride experience.
It feels lazy to me, similar to the screens replacing actual set pieces and scenes in the descent to Spaceship Earth. You know what your car will score on each test when you build it, it doesn't affect the ride, there's almost no narration, it's just like you're driving through a futuristic GM showroom. 1.0 was very 90s, and needed some updating, but they really gutted out all of the detail that made the original ride interesting and jammed a bunch of screens in there. Where there used to be detail and set pieces, there's just empty space and screens. There's no story, no proper preshow, just get in the car and ride. Maybe for kids there's re-rideability solely because of the create a car thing, but once you figure out the extent of that it loses its appeal.
Is there any notable set pieces that were removed? The trees and the truck are still there. Unless I am mistaken, everything else appeared to be a warehouse backdrop
