Universal 360 Video/Pic

[simla999]

Okay....based on reviewers, the video doesn't do the show justice casue the camerca failed to capture the laser effects and the projections on the buildings of "Back to the future" and "MIB". But you got a picture. And by the way the location of fimling is not the best. The best place should be right across World Expose where you could cleary spot "mib" and "bthf" building.

Thanks for posting that video. I have to say... I expected more from this show. The novelty of the round screens worn off 2 minutes into the show. The pyro seemed to go of at random without rhime or rhythm. Some of the clips were not all that memorable. Then that person howling every other minute...but I won't hold the show against that one. Guess I won't be making a special trip to see it.

that's a horrible video and doesn't do the show any justice from the live reports I've heard. From what I hear it's very immersive as the pyro and laser goes off all around you. It also sounds like the laser shows on the buildings are amazing. The show isn't just about the globes which is all this video really captured, it's about the entire experience and this video misses that completely.

I will say that it doesn't have much of a chance to measure up to Disney since they can't do much of a fireworks display since they're so close to civilization, but for what they are capable of pulling off, I hear it's really good.

Yes, the neighbors are already ticked off about this show and plan to protest about it. How times have changed since Universal promised their neighbors they would refrain from pyro shows back in the early 90s.

There are some more videos on youtube.

From what I've seen on video (I haven't experienced personally), here are a couple comments and suggestions:

1) I think there could have been more memorable movie moments and movie quotes and the video editing could have blended better. Also, I dislike the intro dialouge. I think they need to strengthen a theme of action, comedy, horror, etc.

2) Thought the universal logo in the beginning was neat. I was expecting "360" to appear at the bottom of "universal".

3) When BTTF travels through time, I think it'd be neat to have a fog effect building up at one end of the lagoon. Then when the car leaves the fire trail, a fire trail can be scene running through the other end of the lagoon then a big fireworks display.

4) When Scarface says "Say 'hello' to my little friend" and fires the gun, a clip of Backdraft should play with a big balls of fire coming out of the lagoon.

5) Perhaps MIB clips could have better use for the laser effects.

6) I liked how Blues Brothers transitioned to Fast & Furious. Then perhaps play a bunch of car chase scenes. Then at the end of this segment do the BTTF segment I suggested above.

7) In a movie clip showing debris falling, perhaps have random splashes of water come out of the lagoon.

8) Maybe they could use a colorful water fountain for the "romantic" segement, if they have/want one.

9) If there's a Ghostbusters segment, maybe have ghost projections flying past buildings. Then lasers coming out from under the globes shoot at the ghosts.

Overall from what I've seen and read, this seems like a descent show that still shows more potential. Again, I know I wasn't there to experience EVERYTHING.

Yeah but I don't know how Universal could have said that. I mean they had to have figured they'd need to launch Pyro during the park's life.
