Transformers: The Ride - 3D

[Ryan]

For nearly three hours it seems, too. This one is harsh, thank god this is the first day of non-peak.

Edit: sure enough TF finally opened back up. Hours extended til 7.

 

[UniversalFan]

Totally. I'm surprised TF kept the wait at 40 minutes. I guess the summer promotion was successful this year. And now, less people

 

[Ryan]

Today's projected attendance was very low today, so that's not a shock.

 

[Allen The Actor]

I paid close attention to the Transformers resolution and graphics today. My observation is that all the PROJECTORS are definitely 4K, as is 90% of the action. However, in many of the smaller close up screens, some of the actual GRAPHICS and CGI in the BACKGROUNDS is sort of shaky, very pixely, and doesn't look 4K, as if parts of the CGI layers wasn't rendered in 4K....

 

[William]

I noticed the pixelation when Ravage jumps on the hood of Evac (as I mentioned before). Since he's right there in your face, it's easy to see.

 

[Allen The Actor]

I didn't see pixelation on Ravage, just certain graphics in the background.

Just wanna say, employee preview night had a higher resolution going. Made it a better ride IMHO

 

[Allen The Actor]

^ not saying I don't believe you, but I...don't believe you. Haha. I don't see how that makes sense realistically at all.... There's no reason Universal would EVER do that. It's all 4K now but certain animation in the background doesn't look like it was renderrendered in 4K. I'll try to show some examples but it was always 4K....

No...?

 

[Allen The Actor]

It was probably more intense and realistic for you because you were in the moment and it was your first time on the ride.

 

[Jon Fu]

I checked the video footage last week and I personally didn't notice a decrease in quality. Who knows. Maybe something is off and I'm not noticing it.

 

[Allen The Actor]

There's been no decrease in quality, and I don't see any realistic reason as to why they'd suddenly reduce the quality haha. But regarding certain details IN the animation, I feel that certain background action wasn't rendered in full 4K. Ill try to show you some examples.


There's a few backgrounds, characters, signs, etc, that look very video game-ish and jittery and not as high res as the rest of the action.

 

[smoaT]

Well the part were devastator appears for the first time has been out of sync for soooo long. He actually looks blurred. Has anyone noticed this as well?

 

[William]

I haven't really noticed anything out of sync on the ride, but maybe that's just me.

Interesting interview with Larry Kurzweil.

^ Did I miss anything of note in that...? Just sounded like a generic advertising bit! Haha

Nothing particularly new, but it's always interesting to see him talk and address the public.

 

[Allen The Actor]

Oh yeah, absolutely! They usually only ever show Mark Woodbury haha!

 

[k_peek_2000]

Nothing particularly new, but it's always interesting to see him talk and address the public.

Based on that interview it's clear why he isn't In the public eye haha.

I've heard interesting stories about him, but I'll leave it at that. h34r:
