It might improve GSRs if they nixed (or moved) the single rider queue to allow for spacing out the non-single-rider guests between the two levels of Studio C. Fingers crossed they seriously consider something like this during the next ops review.

It didn't have as many issues because of the distance and position of the screen. This has many things that have now become foreground that are major parts of the experience as the new preshow is more dynamic. Such as the physical figures and the height of the screens that interact with each other, obviously the low positioning of the penguins at the soundboard as well. Scooter's B mode screen is actually one of the worst offenders. It could and should have easily have been on a wall behind him at about the same height or higher. You have more visibility to a rectangular screen that is far away.

And I feel previous iteration would have same issues under that criteria. 4’ and you need to be front row.

Thanks for your take. Both things can certainly be true. Objectionably not designed well for anyone 4 foot tall or a guest with chair standards

Rode this twice today and did not have any trouble seeing at all, I’m all of 5’7”. While I don’t doubt if you are pinned at the back of the room you might miss a bit, I think the viewing problems have been greatly exaggerated - I was expecting much worse from reading reviews here. I was one of the last ones in the room on the first trip and one of the early ones on 2nd ride.

Yes, the original had one screen to a mixing table with a door open to a back alleyway that everyone could notice with how far back it is. There were no monitors or effects or characters in foreground. So reasonably most could see what was designed to be seen. This redo of the space has fun effects and new media on various screen heights that very few can see all of by comparison. There would have been some simple design choices where this would be improved. The single rider line definitely has hurt this aspect over the years as the platform was designed to be another level.

Apologies! For some reason I didn’t see the second part of your post.

I was asking in regard to the sightlines in the preshow, not the difference in the attractions as a whole.

The grey paint and the muppet props and characters cover up what a complete failure this ride has always been from a theming standpoint plus the soundtrack is better.

Make that a super-stretch. I’m sorry. I’ll show myself out.

It's not a direct, point by point comparison. The comparison is in the inherent difficulties in retrofitting one IP into a place that it wasn't designed for. Imaginears get faced with working things into sightlines, design constraints, pacing etc., that are a part of the original ride.

Comparing this to Tiana feels like a stretch

I would say that part of the problem is that now they have added things that you are supposed to see, but many cannot see. Particularly tough for children. This is part of the reason that I say that the Aerosmith version though having less, just worked. Like Tiana's this is one of the issues when you try to retrofit an IP that the ride system wasn't designed for from the outset.

I'm not tall at all-- about 5' 7".. I think.. -- I was standing towards the back and with a little maneuvering of my head side to side through the sea of people I was able to see what was going on. I'm not giving an excuse, I wish it was done differently somehow, but the people saying it's impossible to see from the back are being a bit dramatic. Now, if you're a kid in the back, you will never will be able to see, but I don't think they would have been able to see the previous preshow either.
