Do we know anything about the theme of this table service restaurant? Where would it go? Over by the gift shop?Last I heard from @Marni1971, they are pushing for a Table Service in the land, a third ride is possible but would be farther down the line.
I totally believe somewhere in that range for DHS. It never feels crowded, even with only having four rides and many closed pathways.FoP was the first E Ticket to open at WDW in over 11 years. There is no doubt in my mind that DAK's numbers increased. And after having been to DAK this year, I have never seen it that crowded before.
That said, I don't believe for a second it out drew EPCOT. And the number I heard for DHS was 7.5 million.
Here is a behind-the-scenes look at the making of the shaman AA.
She's as real as you or me. Just not real human. I like her as long as she does not go Skynet or Westworld on us.She's not real??

I was speaking exclusively of the Kong 360 room. I'm not even entirely certain if WETA did the first two scenes, but I know they did the 360 scene, and the quality of that is light years ahead of Fast and Furious (no offense to the animators that worked on that project.) WETA is just the new best in the business nowadays. (Look at the new Planet of the Apes films for example.)You can't compare FoP ride film with anything Universal's done lately. It's just another level. The first two rooms on Kong aren't even as high quality as the 360 video. Is it just me or is Kate literally a blur?
I think Fallon is comparable. It looks really clear and good.You can't compare FoP ride film with anything Universal's done lately. It's just another level. The first two rooms on Kong aren't even as high quality as the 360 video. Is it just me or is Kate literally a blur?
Definitely, ILM is still one of the best digital companies around. And they were always the standard I held other companies against since The Abyss, Terminator 2, and Jurassic Park over two decades ago. But, I think WETA has taken it to a new level in recent years, with an almost hyper-realism level. Where ILM was always about making it look real, I feel like WETA is beginning to make it look better than real.I think Fallon is comparable. It looks really clear and good.
The amateurish quality of the F&F 360 film is what kills the ride. If the film was on Kong's level the ride would be OK. Those people did a horrible job on F&F. It's that bad. I can't be kind to such shoddy work, past reputation or not.I was speaking exclusively of the Kong 360 room.

I think the layout and most of the models for F&F is fine. The atmospheric lighting and composite work is pretty awful, and the motion/animation feels more 2-D than 3-D, if you know what I mean... Kind of like Moulin Rouge style, multi-plane camera style, and less fully-realized 3D animation. Because of this it feels very cartoony, which works in stylized films like Moulin Rouge or actual cartoons like The Old Mill... But not so much for something to be experienced by flesh and blood humans on a theme park attraction, and starring flesh and blood humans.The amateurish quality of the F&F 360 film is what kills the ride.

TSL will definitely be a success as far as getting people through the gates (though i'd say not nearly as much as Pandora), but it will also probably be a bit of a disappointment when it comes to the rides. After showing they can create an overwhelmingly popular modern-E ticket in Flight of Passage last year, I feel like many are going to be in for a slight shock (probably mostly the passive Disney fan, tbh) when they see that the only two new rides are Slinky and Saucers.
I think 2017 was hands down the best year for new attractions in Orlando since 1999 (Asia/Kali for DAK and IoA).@Miketheboss certainly Pandora is quite a bit more successful than some care to admit based on personal opinions, but i also think VB should share in the success with an impressive 1.5 million people in just 7 months
