Tip: Patrons get early access and more at patreon.com/amusementlabs
An Efteling attraction like Villa Volta or Droomvlucht (dreamflight). I think the europeans will appreciate it!
new to the channel here, did you already made a video about the tron light cycle bike ride?
@@josemiguelpuchero I have not. I'm kind of saving that for when Tron at MK is relevant again.
Please do tower of terror or Spiderman at Universal. Love your videos, keep up the great work!
Do the beauty and the beast ride at Tokyo Disney sea or symbolica at Eftling
For me this was the best ride in Disneyland Paris. With no loops or high drops but just smooth movement, theming and excellent animation blended perfectly. It is a truly astonishing ride!
It's nice to go on a ride that doesn't make you want to throw up or throw your back out once and a while. : )
We smelled fragrance (bread/other foods) and felt pressurized air/fire. that added a lot to the experience, truly an excellent ride
Where do you find the videos of Disney testing their ride vehicles and prototypes? Your content is some of the best on RUclips! I love watching your videos!
Disney shares them on their platforms
@@JustTravels well for the information they first go to Art of Engineering and steal his work, then they turn it orange and post it on Disney+ and still get things wrong.
It's a wide net of sources, but I treat these things more like investigations based on clues around the ride.
@@AmusementLabs OH THAT'S FUNNY! So true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hat tip to Clownfish TV for letting me on that one.
This became an instant classic in my book up my first (& as of now only) ride on it. Jumped right to 3rd in my favorite EPCOT rides behind Test Track & Cosmic Rewind.
I do really want to know if a car gets “lost” or turned around- does the whole ride freeze? Does the cart do some kind of guaranteed safe move? Or does it spin around for a bit until it finds its heading? I’m dying to know.
It has a specified path. If it varies more than 4" from that path, it stops all vehicles. The vehicle will run if the spin function does not work.
I sometimes watch these Amusement Labs vids because I enjoy the tone and style of the narration. Very intricate, complete and amusing. Great work!
Made the virtual cue and got to ride last week at WDW, by far is the best ride in all of Disney world, it looks underwhelming on RUclips, you gotta actually ride it to experience it
I rode the ride recently. I loved it. I think it fits well in Epcot.
One of your best videos! So glad you included details about multiple theaters for scene one, but do you know if the scene AFTER the pantry is also in duplicate, or is it short enough that it only requires one? I wasn't able to figure that out yet.
It's short enough at around 30 seconds combined with the stove bit that it only needs one. (It also shows it in the floor plan as well) Often too, and this is the case on JW The Ride at USH, they often mesh both the outgoing and incoming videos together with a soft wipe.
@@AmusementLabs Yea that makes sense, even though the same room, the stove is off to the side enough. I like that if your in the last car to leave the scene you get to see Skinner run up and swipe his hand out right before you leave. First car doesn’t get that.
Two of my favorite channels in the same place. You guys both have fantastic content and would love to see a collaboration between the two channels
Excellent and detailed explanations! Tbh, your vids are too underrated; RUclips should recommend them more.
AMEN!
This may be the best Theme Park Channel ever!!!
I think this ride is a great combo of practical props and projection. There's this stupid fan boy lady in a stream that told everyone she would not ride it because it's a lazy projection ride.
There is truth in that lady's complaint. I am not sure how old you are, but in Disneyland they used to have The Swiss Family Robinson Tree House with all real props and items, then they changed it to Tarzan Tree House and put in a bunch of giant plastic toys that were like super sized Happy Meal toys that did nothing, they just stood there. This was after Fantasmic had just blown everyone away with innovation, so yeah, the lady has a point, it is a bit heavy on the lazy side with screens instead of the real thing - or trickery to not tell they are screens (Haunted Mansion Toyko - or is it Hong Kong??? which ever).
@@TheRadioAteMyTV there's little truth. The truth in her statement is that it's a projection ride. But it's not lazy, it's practical so the cars can recharge, not to mention the fact it is easier (and admittedly cheaper) to tell a convincing story this way. It is, after all, just a clone ride, so perhaps you can throw fault to the original ride if you wish, but I think anyone who is unwilling to ride this for "laziness" is just a snob
@@evanb.529 I rode the original It's A Small World countless times and it was super benign so fussing over them going on the cheap didn't stop me from exploring it, but being disappointment by a ride is the opposite of fun.
Just to prevent confusion, It's a Small World was never on the cheap, just tech got way fancier as the years went on.
I'm always mystified by people who make statements like that.... for a start, it's not billed as an old-school animatronic-filled ride, and projection is simply the more modern & technologically advanced Pepper's ghost. It's like expecting every ride to be the same as they were when Disney designed them himself. The irony being that if Disney was alive today he would _absolutely_ be utilising this kind of modern tech.... building & programming the software & hardware to project convincing 3D to moving cars of riders (which themselves are a complex system of sensors & systems) is at the opposite end of the spectrum to "lazy"!
A Rat on a Roomba...!!!
Today I was in DLP and while in the ride I was wondering how this ride was built. Thank you for the video 🙏🏻
Great video! It's nice to see you becoming more and more successful. 😀
Love your videos! Your videos are always so fun to watch and to learn how theme parks make their rides so immersive
I thought there was some kind of smell in the pantry scene in Paris :D
I can remember 1 ride using this system and that ride is "The Lego Factory Adventure Ride" in the all new Lego land New York 5:07
Not to mention: smells of bread and mop water splashes to the face. 😆
Love the improvement in your speech as each video gets put out. Keep it up! You have a fan for life right here
I can’t wait for Guardians of the Galaxy Cosmic Rewind opens in EPCOT with its new Onnicoaster ride system.
there is this park called the Efteling its a realy cool fantasy park they hace cool ride/shows maybe you could talk bout it
Well done! Great explanation and use of footage.
Great job explaining tech, as usual! Now I actually want to see this ride in person!
This was great. The ride may look simple but there s a lot going on. I’d love to see a video on how Spider Man at Universal Islands of Adventure along with possibly Transformers at Universal Studios
Just be warned about Transformers, they are more than meets the eye.
I got to ride is at EPCOT on Saturday. Really fun ride!
great video. I'd really like to a tiki room video.
Great content. Keep em coming please!
Journey into imagination with figment and Bourne stuntacular
Lackluster movie screen ride makes sense now, it has to stop in front of a movie screen because it constantly needs to recharge. I know it's a different mechanism for movement but it would have been nice to see something like the Shanghai(?) Disney Pirates ride that uses screens but is also in constant motion.
11/7 keep it up man. :)
Great video, thanks for sharing
Another great video dude!!!!
I saw it being built through an open fire exit in Epcot
Can you please do the mr. Potato head animatronic and how he works next. I think he uses the same technique as the interactive Mickey meet and greet, but I’m not sure.
Good video. One correction, though: inside of the pantry, when we see the refrigerator at the end with Remy and his brother, you clearly see the food inside it are actual props and not a flat image. Instead of that being a screen for the lower half that effect is achieved with a rear projection, since they have a frosted glass effect on the front being it is a fridge with lower temperature.
Yeah... I don't think I ever mentioned that it wasn't all a screen. The only props are the ones not on the fridge door.
Goodnessss… this is some techh
I wonder if these ride pod use Ultra-Capacitors instead of Batteries? It would make sense to do so because these ride don't have to run for very long between charges and are be charged constantly. Plus ,unlike batteries, Ultra-Capacitors have an almost unlimited number of charge/discharge cycles.
True, they do have to move a lot of stuff. Though I said batteries cause I go remember a factory tour of a provider and it showed batteries that looked liked car batteries in the base.
Awesome work!! You explain everything in detail, it's impressive! Was thinking, can you do a video on the Shanghai Pirates of the Caribbean?
Your Voiceovers have come along way. Keep up the great work. I enjoy these videos. :)
In the videos the screens always look so distorted and... screeny. Do they feel more immersive in person?
I can't speak for this ride because I've never been on it, but I've been on Rise of the Resistance, as well as the Transformers, Spider-Man, and Harry Potter rides at Universal Studios. Yes, these things generally look better in person. Maybe not better enough, but better. I think the issue here might be that they don't really seem to hide the screen at all? (I could be wrong and maybe you can't see the screen as much in person.) Like if they had some props in front of the screen at the bottom, or blocked your view of the bottom with the ride vehicle more, people would notice it less.
It’s because the screens are in 3D hence the need for glasses, unfortunately you can’t send that effect through video.
3D works by each of your eyes seeing a slightly different image (Hold your finger close to your face, and alternately close each eye, and you'll see the finger shift from side to side- your brain sees both of these images separately, and makes it appear as though your finger is close to you). With a normal screen, or projection, both of your eyes see the same image. With these attractions, they utilise various methods of separating the image for each eye- on most attractions, they seemingly use specially filtering lenses on both the projector, and the glasses that people wear- the image (light) for one eye, gets filtered in one direction, and vice versa for the other. When you wear the glasses and look at the attraction screen, your eye sees two different images at the same time & makes things appear closer or further, like in real life. If, however, you don't have the filters in front of your eyes (like in most POV videos of attractions on RUclips): you see both images, in both eyes- so anything that should 'pop' out will be blurry. Makers of these POV videos could remove that blur by placing one of the lenses of the 3D glasses in front of their camera- that way they'd be recording the image intended for a single eye, and thus it wouldn't be blurry. Hope that answers your question, and gives you some background. *breathes*
Do my favorite ride next please
I wish it smelled more like good French food
I want Tim Tracker back!
I went in the Paris version in 2019. It was fun. Little bit too french though.
It’s a movie that takes place in France…how the heck is it too French?
@@aquagamer1212 that's the joke.
Have you considered that instead of batteries it may be super capacitors
I'm referencing a factory tour where it showed the interior of the bases with what looked like the custom equivalent of car batteries inside.
@@AmusementLabs That's awesome man! I love all of your videos, and the amount of research and effort you put in. It really shows!
I was super disappointed with this ride when I visited Disneyland Paris. Too much of this ride feels like just sitting in front of a giant screen on a sound stage instead of moving along with the scenery. Just look at 2:19 left corner to see what I mean, or 4:49 you can see the empty flooring and other cars. The trackless ride car and charging method is cool but overall it’s not too fun. It’s crazy that Spider-Man is so much older uses a similar ride type yet is way more immersive. Not worth waiting longer than 20 minutes imo

How easy is it to make a transmitter to hit that frequency to either jam or scatter the rides? I didn't look up the frequency to see where it falls, but in high school we built kits in electronic class that were for wiping out VHF TV frequencies. That was it's whole and singular purpose. Yes, I hooked it up to the antenna and used it on Super Bowl Sunday and of course it worked for all those who didn't have cable. Hey, I said I was in high school.
If the signal is being sent using Spread-Spectrum-Frequency-Hopping(SSFH) Then you might find it next to impossible to jam such a signal. To jam such a signal would be like playing an RF equivalent of Wack-A-Mole. Unlike a normal analog TV and Radio signal that only uses one fix frequency. An SSFH signal is constantly changing it's channel in real time at around 20-30 times a second. If you were to turn on your jammer and knock out one of it's channels. all it would do is just ignore that channel and only use channels that are still clear. OK, so I know what you're thinking. What if I could build a jammer that hits all the channels at once. Well good luck with that one because you're gonna need a jammer that can put out several kilowatts of power to do so. Let's put it this way. You ain't gonna be jammin an SSFH signal with a device that fits into your pocket and runs off a 9-volt battery.
@@appliedengineering4001 Most interesting. What I don't get is, if it hopping around like that, how does the receiver keep up with it? Also, you said you are not sure it is using that method, I wonder how you find out? Do any of these methods mess with pacemakers especially since the one you hypothesized is all over the place?
@@appliedengineering4001 Oh man, I went to your channel hoping to see some great stuff based on your name, and what a let down. Will you be doing stuff based on your name? I love physics.
@@appliedengineering4001 Spread Spectrum Frequency Hopping.... didn't 1930's actress Hedy Lamarr co-invent a technology around that? A pre-cursor to Bluetooth & GPS technology that they invented at the start of WW2 for Allied military use but I seem to recall the US govt conveniently 'confiscated' their patent?
how it works walt disney world epcot living with the land
how it works walt disney world epcot spaceship earth
how it works walt disney world epcot space 220
Space220 is one of the best additions they've done so far. I'd LOVE if it came to Disneyland. It looks fantastic.
thanks for working so hard to bring us these videos (◕‿◕✿)
Can you do a video on rocket rods
Fun fact - the cars can and do become "lost" and disoriented.
No, they don't ever. 4" from the path and the whole attraction stops.
@@iamme462 I was on it when it happened. We were oriented backwards, sideways, and **in the wrong space** for the entire adventure. When we and the other party in our vehicle exited and notified the CM, they walked us through the unload/load gap hall, stuck us at the front, and put us right back on.
CAN YOU PLEASE DO JURASSIC WORLD ADVENTURE IN BEIJING
Roller coaster launcher
I love the vidéo and I love your work !! Would it be possible to know where do you find those information ? (And would it be possible to get the sources?) thank you !!!
Imagine bringing a wifi-jammer on the ride.
good idea
How’re you getting that into the park my man
@@sparpie In a camera bag, or as medical equipment...there's options.
@@Happymali10 they check every bag.
is it going to come to america?
This is at Disney World, Epcot specifically.
Is this ride manufactured by Roush, as like the other Disney trackless rides? I wonder why they chose Roush instead of ETF, which did Toy Story Mania.
From what I've seen I feel like it was a custom job from ETF. I kind of avoided mentioning who made them cause people were hounding me about saying Rollickin Roadsters was by Roush and they claimed it wasn't (though they never said who made it then lol). So I'd rather explain the tech cause that's more important ultimately than who made it.
Roush only did the Rat part.
It just looks like a poor rip off of Mickey's Runaway Train. I have not been on that ride, except through youtube, but it looks incredible. This one looks Disney Star Wars - close but no cigar.
All of those use the same tech base. BTW Rat was years before MRT.
The sad part is hagrid motorbike and velicocoaster together cost less than remy ratatouille adventure.
Hmm mr labs I donut see any real rats in the video which is how this ride happens to operate… very sad!
I wasn't impressed by this ride, partially because our first time the ride broke down 20 seconds in and the lights came on revealing the warehouse with projection screens we were sitting in, but once we got to try it again it just seemed like a series of rooms with projection screens that you weren't even fully immersed in.. you could see the ground and the edge of the screens easily! A waste of time.
I love your videos but something about your voice sounds very different and no offence but a bit more annoying in this video. It might just be an issue with my phone tho.
That was my concern with recording it cause I'm definitely leaning on inflections a lot.
@@AmusementLabs I really like your voice better earlier. You sounded more human.
@@thebabypenguin2 I know, thing is the previous take I sounded like I was half asleep. Human, but not great sounding.
@@AmusementLabs Here's a tip that can help with that: rather than just read the script (huge problem with tons of videos on RUclips because it makes videos sound boring and rehearsed), just TELL us about the ride. It will probably also give your narration more enthusiasm.
@@remconet 🤷♂️ unfortunately nothing I can do about this one after the fact.
If you can find some good examples to what you mean on YT paste em here and I'll do my best to mimic them.
