New Dark Ride in MGM

I just found out through a reliable source about a new ride in MGM.

It will be called Down Turn. It will bring guests through an elevated premish. Once there, it will be turned toward the entry way which guests will experience darkness and smooth turns, not unlike Expedition Everest. The Monstors Inc. crew will escape through this turn but in the event they used the spider man technology it will be fantastic.

Hoping this is true because I think premish technology is amazing especially if it will be coupled with down turn entries. It will be the first of it's kind and if the exact seating is used, we will definitely need a fast pass for this one.

The date is set for the end of 2007. It's amazing if they can construct the innards that fast.
 
The rumors which have circulating regarding this addition to the Studios is that it will be called "Midway Madness" and will be based on Pixar characters. Rumors indicate that it will replace the "Who wants to be a Millionaire - Play It" attraction. There has yet to be any official confirmation by Disney regarding this new attraction.
 
Premish technology is a long way from being perfected. And, its hard to believe that the Disney Company would embark on something as challenging and expensive as "elevated" Premish right now. It would be the best news to come to that park in years, though.
 

I too would like to know what premish technology is as I looked in Google and Wikipedia and no information based on any technology was available
 
Premish technology was only slightly used on the Spiderman ride in universal. However, if the rumor is correct, the way Disney would use it would be totally different.

It will be controlled from the lower chambers of the ride instead above. It will also be inverted instead of convex. The velocity of this will make it completely inward instead of containing a chamber effect within the belup.

The belup will be given a chain link mech. to levy up the extra weight that comes with free fall technology and add a slight upward momentum at the same time making way for entries without them being in the way of several outlets. There is only one company in the world that uses this technology for amusement. There are even some engineers who use it but in a very limited capacity. Mainly for model size entries.

I spoke to an engineer friend of mine and he said it would be impossible to use it this way. However, the company that is behind it says it is already completed for this useage it will be just applying it to the belup.

Hope this helps.
 
Grrr! Another Pixar attraction!
There are far too many in my opinion. I've said this many times before-Pixar is extremely overdone in the parks. The other Disney movies have interesting storylines and lots of action too, but most of the new attractions have been Pixar. The Laugh Floor Comedy Club, Woody's Cowboy Camp, the Seas with Nemo and Friends--all new and upcoming. And there are already several in the parks.

Somehow this doesn't help me at all? Plain english anyone? :confused3
 
Ok, I don't have many sources, but I found one who confirmed the rumor.

I'm still not clear on exactly what this thing is about, but I did read the description to her and she said its very close. She was also very surprised the info got out, as they had been trying to be very hush-hush on this one.

The belup will be given a chain link mech...
This was the only part that she said might be off, as they have not yet decided to use a chain link mech. They have been leaning towards a rotary cycle mech, but she admits this has been putting undesireable strains on the belup's joints.

She had to go before I could get her to explain this to me in layman's terms, but maybe the new info can help somebody track this down?

For your consideration:

The premish will rule differently...

The lower chambers will control...

The inversion velocity will be inward...

The belup will receive the chain link mech...

The free fall weight will levy up...

It can happen in....
The Twilight Zone :scared1:

Hope this helps.

You've got to be kidding :confused3

Not so fast. It's my understanding that Universal owns the exclusive rights to premish tech. Unless Disney is willing to spend huge money I can't seem them using it in any new attractions.

Well, I'm no engineer but it sounds doable assuming Disney can work something out with Universal.

Barrell you got your information wrong. Universal does not own premish tech. I work for patent attorneys and I asked them who it is registered to. The patent belongs to WTI Ltd. they have been using it for small model assignments and when it was used by Universal it was the first time it was used in the amusement industry.

Maybe because Universal was the first to use it people assumed that they invented it, but it has been around for a long time, engineers were just unsure how to apply it to different forms.

In the engineering world it is considered the string theory of its time. It will exist in some form or another without the Einsteins of this world.

I'm slowly getting off my soap box.

I'm hoping after this, Premish Tech will be used in form 1 and 2 without the belops and it will bring out entries that would otherwise never co-mingle. Again, Disney has the money and the ability to see this through. I'm sure it will happen.
