I hope that the path we're on will lead to a much better place than what we are currently seeing: CARTOONS, VIDEO AND INTERACTION OH MY! CARTOONS, VIDEO AND INTERACTION OH MY! CARTOONS, VIDEO AND INTERACTION OH MY! "May I assume the OP has been through this attraction?" You think that you trumped the OP....... but you didn't. Humans do have the power to forecast, project and extrapolate quite accurately--- we do it daily. "To play devils advocate here, isn't Spiderman over at Universal essentially just movie screens?" I was on Spiderman when it broke down once. Screens went blank leaving us looking at just the sets throughout the ride. Those sets, as far as attractions in theme parks go, were fully realized and done with great care and scale; 3-D props and facades as well as A's(and quite possibly AA's) were all over the ride. Also, those "scoops" rocked, tilted, rotated and vibrated as it traveled through the city. The ride has real fire, water and wind to tell the story too.

44	barboy Wed 5/7/2008 11:20a	"Soarin' is "just" a movie, and look how good that turned out to be." I'm not sure if you are being facetious or not but to take it at face value Soarin' is entirely different than just a movie. You are being facetious, no?
45	FerretAfros Wed 5/7/2008 11:33a	Yes, he is. This ride is much more than just a movie. We've all seen 'just a movie' before. It's the kind of thing you saw in history class in school, the kind of thing you may have found in DCA (Seasons of the Vine), the kind of thing you watch on your couch at home, but not the kind of thing that they're going to make a big deal out of. While it is projection based, it's not really 'just a movie' any more than the Nemo Subs or Soarin' are.
46	DlandDug Wed 5/7/2008 12:01p	>>"May I assume the OP has been through this attraction?" You think that you trumped the OP...<< Well not with just that comment. There was rather a lot that followed. But if you want to make points by arguing with a rhetorical preamble, have at it. >>Humans do have the power to forecast, project and extrapolate quite accurately--- we do it daily.<< And that is just the point of my reply to the OP. I believe the conclusions reached were false, based on forecasting, projecting and extrapolating. Unless, of course, the OP has some additional knowledge the rest of us don't have, ie: has actually experienced the attraction and found it was nothing more than some video screens.
47	believe Wed 5/7/2008 12:03p	Trying to make a comparison. If you saw a video of Soarin on youtube without ever riding it, you'd probably say "what a lame ride...". But it turned out to be really good. I hope the same can be said about TSM.
48	Hans Reinhardt Wed 5/7/2008 12:12p	I think that the contraption that lifts guests into the theater with their feet dangling in the air would at least make that attraction seem a little more enticing that what I've seen online for TSMM.
49	Skellington88 Wed 5/7/2008 12:57p	>Not we. You. Keep it singular.< Actually me and my family think this ride is a lame concept too.
50	barboy Wed 5/7/2008 5:01p	"Well not with just that comment' Ya, I know--- I just didn't want to repost your full argument(which was overall pretty good except for the irrelavant and short history lesson of AA's and flats; but the other points were pretty strong)
