They showed the commercial for GE and it shows footage of RotR. Looks pretty cool!
My thought is some kind of LED tape or LED bar lighting hidden in the wall to appear as if beams are firing through the room...Think the lightning bolt effect from Test Track.I must say the laser beams from the guns and the light saber going trough the steel is stunning. If Disney can deliver this they for sure have a winner.
I thought they maybe would use a musion effect.My thought is some kind of LED tape or LED bar lighting hidden in the wall to appear as if beams are firing through the room...Think the lightning bolt effect from Test Track.
I also think the footage is a tad embellished but we will see
The blaster fire and light saber were definitely enhanced in post production. But the light saber will be practical, it just wont look that realistic.
Today from Mice Chat....on ROTR delayed opening and tech issues....."even though Disney had a tried and true trackless system that's worked well for years, some of the Sharp Pencil People got involved with their usual results, they opted for cheap Chinese trackless systems and were oh-so-surprised when they didn't work as well on their E ticket Huge Feature Attraction (RotR) as the more expensive but notably reliable systems they were already using...to the tune of having to rip parts of the attraction down to the steel.,,,WDW hadn't yet begun to install the faulty ride system, so will be installing the Old Reliable, while over at Disneyland they have to tear everything out and start over-which means opening later than the East coast.....California's future projects will be seeing some big cuts pretty soon"
Speaking of ...read my post on Epic park where some projects may be scaled back due to the large increased costs due to tariffs on Chinese steel.Welp, we'll know if that's true based on when they open.
I blame Trump for not putting a tariff on Chinese trackless systems. :troll:
And thus the vicious cycle begins.

I completely agree with your post. The Bean Counters screw everything up (cuts in original entertainment too) and then they want to cut more after their original cuts screwed it up in the first place....That's what happened to General Motors too in the 80's when they made the bean counters the top executives. It screwed the corporation up for three decades.And thus the vicious cycle begins.

Just quoting. I have no idea of it's reliability, but lately Mice Chat's info has been more accurate than a couple of years ago...and word was that some at Disney were using them to leak info.....and...they said it's still trackless at WDW, just not a Chinese import.This sounds like more BS. We’ve already heard it’s trackless still and Dynamic Attractions aren’t Chinese. Sounds like some jingoistic garbage.
I had heard the problem was with the sensors and that at Disneyland they had to remove all the concrete flooring at adjust/replace the sensors. I have heard nothing about having to completely change the ride system.Today from Mice Chat....on ROTR delayed opening and tech issues....."even though Disney had a tried and true trackless system that's worked well for years, some of the Sharp Pencil People got involved with their usual results, they opted for cheap Chinese trackless systems and were oh-so-surprised when they didn't work as well on their E ticket Huge Feature Attraction (RotR) as the more expensive but notably reliable systems they were already using...to the tune of having to rip parts of the attraction down to the steel.,,,WDW hadn't yet begun to install the faulty ride system, so will be installing the Old Reliable, while over at Disneyland they have to tear everything out and start over-which means opening later than the East coast.....California's future projects will be seeing some big cuts pretty soon"
that might be the specific.I had heard the problem was with the sensors and that at Disneyland they had to remove all the concrete flooring at adjust/replace the sensors. I have heard nothing about having to completely change the ride system.
Maybe they used cheap Chinese sensors?
worst case scenario...they're all correct ......Seriously though, on the trackless system, I think Disneyhead probably nailed the Chinese reference, namely the sensors that ultimately were ripped out & replaced. Mice Chat didn't say it was Chinese vehicles, only referred to the trackless system as Chinese.. .I’ve heard so many different things about this ride- 1)vehicles Chinese 2)floor being ripped out 3)vehicles unable to meet ADA code in Cali 4)issues with vehicle locking in drop track leading to a completely shredded RV. Idk what to believe any more about this thing.
