    Your car was the problem child. Two cars are never in the same scene with the exception of when you see the rover as it leaves baby birds and your car is at Salty. It happens daily on that ride. The computer in the car sends an error signal to the main computer and it shuts down the ride. At a million dollars per rover and each attraction having 16 rovers I can understand why Disney hasn't upgraded the operating system of the vehicles yet. The rovers are running on 1970's-80's computers, the boards are no longer made. It is a matter of time that Dinosaur and Indy vehicles will get a full upgrade. BTW on Dinosaur every rover has the same programed route. what you are seeing is the path for each of the four tires on the rover. Each wheel pivots on its own which gives the offroad feeling.

      Let's go!! Glad you guys were able to do it! The blasters are definitely much larger than something like Men in Black, but not as big as an old school riffle arcade game. But you're right, it would be difficult for super young children. But I still think it's more family friendly than most other Universal attractions.

    The animatronics keep moving constantly, both to keep their moving parts in working order and to ensure that if you look at it after its show animation finishes, you dont just see a motionless statue.

  • @rocketrodlover
    @rocketrodlover Рік тому

    It is a fun fact that the animatronics in the dinosaur attraction never stop moving. Even overnight they are always in idle mode to keep the hydraulics working. Even when the ride is powered down the animatronics are always moving

    • @gypsycrossroads
      @gypsycrossroads 8 місяців тому

      Back in the day when audio animatronics were created they did leave them running all the time due to the fact that in order to keep them all in synch with each other they individually had to be programed. That is not the case with newer animatronics. The tower position for Dinosaur has the ability to turn all animations off. Every night as Cast Members conduct a track walk to recover lost items the ride is powered down and all animatronics go to sleep. The 5 steps that need to be followed if the ride goes down is. 1. Press ride stop. 2. press station stop. 3. turn on the house lights. 4. silence the sound effects and 5. Play or say the breakdown spiel. If an evac is needed most of the cast members in the tower will turn off the animatronics.

    I understand why the practical effects were given up on completely for the Scarabs but I wish they hadn't. I liked seeing the physical one's poor out. The fiber optics pre-launch was definitely a nice touch. The videos I have seen seem to have it slightly slower than before but that can be ironed out as the new wheels and tweaks keep going.

    • @JonHoltParks
      @JonHoltParks 2 роки тому

      I agree! The physical effect of the scarabs was a nice touch that made the ride feel more real and practical. However, the effect wasn't the most reliable, especially in later years. It makes sense that they moved more towards projection mapping. It'll be more reliable and consistent. I just don't like that you can see the scene reset before your vehicle turns around. The launch tunnel was a fantastic update. I didn't feel any difference in the speed though. The mummy's speed changes quite a bit based on the weight of the vehicle though. I've been in an empty vehicle where it absolutely flies, and vise versa.

      @orange_turtle3412 Рік тому

      This one is super interesting. Its so dark that you cant see anything except what the designers specifically allow you to see, so the stuff that isnt important to the ride is completely unthemed. When the lights are on you can see that, in reality, its just a big warehouse with a few sets placed around where you would be able to see them. Hell, most indoor rides are just warehouses with ride tracks and sets thrown in.
