Big money & Hi-tech

[k5thbeatle]

We love Expedition Everest & Mission Space but...

I'd like to see them place some of that big money and hi tech in less intense "thrill ride" style attractions.

They have.

Have you been to Turtle Talk, or the new Nemo ride? Those screens they show the fish and Crush on are crystal clear and really make you feel like the fish are there. Also, the new Monsters Inc show and the new Nemo show look like they're going to be pretty impressive. There's also a version of Mission Space now that does not spin for kids and people who are sensitive to motion. And Soarin' is a gentle flight simulator, hardly a thrill ride at all.

ITA with FD they are very good at upgrading or adding across the boarder with their rides and attractions.Also added more characters around the parks as well.

Do you think the budget for Turtle talk or Nemo was the same as that for Everest, Mission Space, or ToT?

git!

Different type of technology. You can't even compare the two. I don't know how much the tech for Nemo and Turtle Talk was. Less intense rides by their very nature require less space and the miles of track and security systems that the thrills need, but I'd say barring the "thrillz" and just looking at the special effects, possibly about the same. The Yeti being the exception. He's a pretty intense animatronic but I think just about as much went into the Stitch animatronic.
