    Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

    Its Dolby 3D which uses a shift in frequency of the film - can either be done with 1 or 2 projectors depending on the setup. It provides a brighter, sharper picture with less crosstalk than polarized 3D. The drawback is the glasses aren't cheap. Here's a good article...

    Thank you for proving my point

    The world got along just fine for hundreds of years without movies or TV. Do they make life enjoyable? Absolutely. But are they a necessity, like food and water? No.

    Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

    If 8k at 60+ FPS looks blurry, its never going to look better, 3D or 2D

    No movie needs to exist. :)

    Remy's Ratatouille Adventure

    Once again much go the "gags" will no longer work, as they were designed with 3D in mind

    Skull Island: Reign of Kong - General Discussion

    This ride was specifically designed for 3D. It used 8k, HFR and 3D to all combine to sell the feeling you're outside. Without it, it will just be flat screens and the illusion will be broken (F&F was designed to be 3D and, while nothing will make it good, removing the 3D arguably made it worse)

    Universal's Epic Universe General News & Discussion

    Oz would be ok, but it's never been very successful in previous theme park attempts.

    Super Nintendo World (Osaka)

    Nintendo wanted a family friendly ride, not a fast one.

    Celestial Park (Epic Universe)

    DisneySea has a hotel thats literally in the park.

    Universal's Epic Universe Construction Thread

    Very few rides come close to that - Small World and Pirates do (Small World because it was originally designed for the NYWF which had 50 million visitors in 12 months - still short of the planned 70 million). But most rides hover between 1500-2000 pph

    Transformers: The Ride - 3D

    Spiderman, unlike T3D, has cars always in motion. T3D often pauses.

    General Discussion - Hagrid's Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure

    Again, if no one is riding a ride, it's not a reduction in actual capacity just theoretical capacity. Disaster! averaged maybe 400 people an hour at the end. I'd guess as awful as it is, more people are riding F&F than rode Disaster!

    General Discussion - Hagrid's Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure

    Well, Beetlejuice was hardly a people eater plus it had live performers which is $$$ every time there is a show. Plus the two attractions shared team members.

    General Discussion - Hagrid's Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure

    Universal, like most theme parks, are loathe to upkeep an attraction that draws few people and is falling apart (Disaster! was, literally, a disaster - not one week went by without it going down at least twice- often in the same day. First thing I learned in training was how to evacuate). While...

    General Discussion - Hagrid's Magical Creature Motorbike Adventure

    Having worked Disaster! I can tell you there wan't much demand. Much of the time we ran shows every 20 minutes (instead of 10) and even 30 minutes later in the day. A people eater is only good when there's people to eat :D

    Of course, it runs anywhere from 9 to 11 trains at once when everything is working properly -- there's literally a train loading right after another

    Universal Great Britain

    Which is funny because thats exactly what Disney did with WDW. When they finally put foot on ground, Joe Fowler told Walt the immortal line "We have bought 26,000 acres of the sorriest land God has put on Earth". It cost them millions to build a drainage system before they could even begin...

    E.T. Adventure General Discussion

    Rode roday and while the sets and animatronics look good, there's definitely a rehab needed soon on the vehicles. Every one dispatching you could hear grinding and squealing from the wheels. While riding it twice it felt like the whole thing was about to derail, while making the most gawd awful...
