Probably not. It’s not illegal to film at disney world. They might get weird if you were making a movie but idk. I’m hoping someone escape from tomorrow’s a Star Wars fan film some day.

Like B roll footage you could throw on an extra monitor to just see the parks and hear the sounds and music while working and stuff. Maybe I'll start that when covid is behind us. Disney+ has a Disney Parks Sunrise Series, which is pretty much what it says on the tin--MK, Epcot, and WK for an hour in the early morning. We've put them on the background while doing chores and stuff. Also, if you don't mind vintage Epcot, RetroWDW has put up some official B-roll, some from the mid80s and some from 1994: 80s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PZWy-l1bz-g 90s: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8sBYAxAtCg

skipdogg posted:I only watch a couple Disney YT people now. My go to guy is 100% upfront about what Disney gives them for free, and is mostly honest about everything. TBF Tim and Jen do this when they get invited by a park to do something. I think it's more of a legal thing. I kinda dropped off their channel and will really only put them on as background noise because 3/4s of every video is about their kid. I mainly follow a select few DLR based people, but how many times can they just go to Buena Vista street because one new food item has been released?

Multiple times in the past I have seen people walk into the park with serious photo/video gear, tripods, huge lenses, extra bodies, a rolling suitcase of extra gear type stuff. Then proceed to set up and film/shoot. No idea if they worked for disney or anything but it seemed like disney didn’t care.

I always try to cycle in new Disney YouTubers. A few people I started following blew up and now kinda suck. So I try to find new channels without a lot of subscribers or, sigh, clout. I really wish Remain Seated had blown up. So much promise, and just kinda.... never stuck :[

I'm impressed by the opacity on the AR screens, but the FOV looked not great. That being said, between the interactive elements and the gap between experiencing and filming AR, I think it's functionally impossible to tell how this actually rides from a Youtube video. I think Hazo's right though; the vehicles seem to be moving pretty slow, at least in comparison to the hyper kinetic animated characters and the ostensible "race" that's happening. It occurs to me that Luigi's Mansion would've been a much stronger choice for an attraction with the exact same tech, but that has a tiny fraction of the recognition, especially for a headlining attraction. EDIT: queue looks great, but at this point that's not a surprise, haha. Boxman fucked around with this message at 20:39 on Feb 3, 2021 |

Universal has it's ups and downs but this is clearly something like New Fantasyland (west) in the 80s where everything was about atmosphere. And over the past 20 years Disney has laid off so many Imagineers and they've started their own design and consulting firms so it's no surprise that Universal it's best looks a lot like Disney anymore. As somebody who hasn't been to a theme park in over a decade I'd rather ride Flight of Passage than these rides if I had to choose just one, but there's certainly a timeless charm about them. Although the shutdown of Sorcerers at Magic Kingdom recently kind of makes me recoil at the number of electronic interactive elements I've seen just by watching two videos. One of the things that I think these outside firms do is go to the parks proposing some sort of interactive distraction that doesn't explain itself too forwardly and gradually people ignore it and eventually it breaks. See also the Mansion queue circa 2010s.

I’m more of a universal fan because of horror nights but Pandora and Galaxy’s Edge are way more immersive than Harry Potter world. Ride was too. If there wasn’t any exit signs in Smugglers Run I’d believe I was on the falcon.

The queue for Mario Kart looks very nice. There's a video on YouTube where they filmed the ride without the AR glasses on and it looks pretty decent for what it is. But... this is yet another instance where Universal missed the mark, badly, on choosing the right ride system and experience to capture the IP. They did it with Fast & Furious: Supercharged, where you ride a slow moving bus and speed is only simulated. They did it with Gringotts, where you're promised a wild ride on the cart system we all saw in the films, and then instead used those carts to just shuffle you from screen to screen, where you park and watch action happen. This ride system and AR setup very clearly should have been used for something like, say, a Luigi's Mansion dark ride, or even just a Mario dark ride where you shoot fireballs at enemies. Even then, the AR wasn't needed, and even though we shouldn't judge how it looks through a camera, I'm leaning toward it probably doesn't look so great in person either. Mario Kart needed to be a physically fast ride. It needed to be similar to Radiator Springs Racers, where we experience the speed and frenzy of Mario Kart fold out, physically, around us. It definitely should not have been a slow moving shooter ride. It's painfully obvious how slow you're moving even though they try to simulate speed here and there with projection mapping. Because of the major disconnect between the IP and the ride system, I predict this ride will be poorly received even if it actually is fun in person for those who know what to expect.

I don't know, there's a world of difference between Gringotts and F&F. This doesn't look nearly as thrill ride-lite as Gringotts, but also has the AR layer. Not sure what to think of it from videos. I'm 100% on board for your Luigi's Mansion AR dark ride though. Right into my veins.

Empress Brosephine posted:call me a fanboy but nothing disney has done has gotten near the level of detail of anything universal has done when they try In terms of theming and immersion, Universal has exceeded Disney exactly twice: Hogsmeade, followed by Diagon Alley. Disney has since responded with Galaxy's Edge, which, while it has some flaws, the scope and scale of it just dwarfs Diagon Alley. I do prefer Disney, but I'm not a "poo poo on everything Universal does" person. But more often than not, Universal is content with producing something "good enough". They open a new area. It'll provide some nice photo ops, it'll probably have a giant statue here and there, it might have a good ride, but it'll have obvious cut corners, visible backstage and infrastructure, and it'll be visually loud and cluttered. Universal's strength is innovative ride systems and creating bombastic, chaotic ride experiences. Sometimes they're great, like Spider-Man or Hagrid's. Sometimes they're total duds that make you question how they got greenlit, like this appears to be.

Not sure what to think of it from videos. True. Unlike F&F, Gringotts is a good ride, but I kind of hated it after my first ride because I was expecting something much more wild and thrilling. I appreciated it more after additional rides.

I do not understand people who think Gringotts is the best ride at Universal. I feel like I see it at the top of lists all the time and... whhyyyyy? Its the 3rd best Harry Potter ride alone. Also its kinda wild that Diagon Alley has exactly 1 ride and its not even the best HP ride.

As much as I enjoy the theming of Diagon Alley, I've always been bothered by the dragon on top of Gringotts. It looks cool in photos and concept art, but it makes no narrative sense (if there's a dragon on the loose, people should be running terrified through the streets). I feel like that's a pretty good example of something Disney wouldn't do (but feel free to provide examples of similar immersion-breaking stuff at Disney). Similarly, I don't like how the Hogwarts Express was just a random assortment of characters/scenes from the movies thrown together for no reason. I guess that's Universal's "ride the movies" thing, but it feels  .

Atricks posted:I'm not sure how it could be a fast ride with all that detail that you would just miss without being outdoors and taking up incredible amounts of room. (Doubt the AR Works well in sunlight). The answer is, the Mario Kart ride didn't need AR at all. If they really wanted to push this AR tech, it should have been used for something like the Luigi's Mansion or "use a fire flower to shoot at enemies" dark ride concepts I mentioned above, while making Mario Kart a separate ride. The level of detail can absolutely be done - see Radiator Springs Racers. Granted, yes, RSR does take up a ton of space that Universal probably didn't have. But they'll have it in Orlando. Context posted:As much as I enjoy the theming of Diagon Alley, I've always been bothered by the dragon on top of Gringotts.

I feel like that's a pretty good example of something Disney wouldn't do (but feel free to provide examples of similar immersion-breaking stuff at Disney). The dragon bothers me too. Yes, it's a detail that 90% of guests aren't going to think about, but it is one of the many things that demonstrate how Universal often just doesn't quite "get it". Universal says "most guests won't notice or care, so we don't need to address it." Disney says "some guests might notice this, so we must address it." Universal also loves their giant statues and/or cutouts as focal points/photo ops, almost all of which are also at the expensive of immersion. I also disagree on Hogwarts Express though. It's a little forced feeling, how it's just a series of character encounters that conveniently end before the next one can begin, but I do applaud Universal for showing some restraint here and just keeping it a chill ride on the train and not trying to introduce some sort of "something has gone wrong" element.
