Originally Posted By Mickeymouseclub Like it too. When they first introduced the footsteps I thought it was a way to beat the HP and assumed they would add more. This looks like a great addition. I will admit walking thru the Q was fun even tho I did not like seeing it online (and my criticism was harsh).I expect all this tech will be a full time challenge cause HM and Pooh takes a lot of action from the youngsters!
Originally Posted By EPCOT Explorer nd if this all comes to pass... Wow. Certainly impressive technology. Only worry at this point would include the fact that it does need to be more creepy than comical when riding with a ghost, and the fact that we ARE loosing some AAs. Besides that, sounds like a interesting effect! Seems I had good intel on the fact that your movements in the Doombuggy were going to be monitored were correct.

Last time technological advancement was added to a classic scene, we got a Jib-Jab flash animation.

Originally Posted By magic0214 Love this idea, just wondering how the "I'm taking off your head" effect will look...creepy.

Originally Posted By danyoung >...and the fact that we ARE loosing some AAs.< Well, I don't think carved figures on a stick with limited left and right movements qualifies as AA's. And as to the cool new tech, NO - we must not bow to this! We must continue to be outraged at what was shown to us in the past weeks, and jump to all kinds of conclusions and call the Imagineers lots of nasty names! OUTRAGE, I tell ya - OUTRAGE!!!!!
