Honestly, sure it’s disappointing. I get that. This is frankly such an advanced ride system we have to accept it’s natural limitation in terms of theming. We are not truly magically flying all over this land. It’s a theme park, enjoy the fun nonsense.
Although I could see others argue this ride system in long run wasn’t worth it. For ride design, immersion, capacity, ride execution, all of it. I haven’t ridden so I can’t say but just my take so far.
