Walt Disney World unveils new ride at Epcot

[trr1]

Can you think of an example where Universal rolled out a minor attraction that used the same technology as a much bigger attraction Disney was getting ready to debut a little later?

This is a unique situation. Trying to compare it to other stories seems silly to me.

it was just a question it was not ment to be sarcastic

It's like a little preview of HP. :lol:

This is NOTHING like HPatFJ.

HPatFJ is the kuka moving freely while on a track with no simultation overhead. So different.

Correct, but it is a thrill ride. (or I should say simulator)

True...They do seem to harp on it, though.

Seriously! It's just in Innoventions.

Maybe we are wring and they want to put Inno in the spotlight? Hmm....wonder why.:lol::lookaroun

Because, Innocore is changing.

Because, Innocore is changing.

Exactly! It's a new CommiVentions!:lol::animwink:

 

[_Scar]

I don't know Inno that well... is there a huge chunk not being used behind the character spot?

 

[Timmay]

Wow...some of you people kill me! :ROFLOL: Any chance to bash Universal. Pretty obvious some are getting a weeeeeeee bit concerned.

The more things change...

Amazingly' the official Innoventions website has not yet been updated.

Why the heck is this little sub attraction getting so much attention??? In today's Wahington Post, Raytheon had a full page color ad promoting the attraction, and I also saw the CNN article. Even Reuters for goodness sake has an article on this thing. Anyone think Raytheon is doing it? I just can't see Disney going through THIS much effort to promote this. :shrug:

Maybe because it is a cool Attraction.:animwink:

I saw the SoaT yesterday and was very impressed. Didn't get to ride it, but the robotic arm thing was very cool. However, it is in Innoventions, and the queue area wasn't large enough to handle lots of people.

It does spice up Innoventions though, and looks very thrilling.

With the attention it's getting is that necesrily a good thing for its capacity problem?

That's what I was thinking. It's just another attraction at Innoventions, just more unique.

Hmm... national publicity, new technology, high hopes... Innoventions East is going to be very popular, for a change.

I just wonder how they'll handle the capacity if the queue that's small. Perhaps a Saturday trip might explain it. :lookaroun
