I rode this during the Gold Pass preview last Thursday. Actually, I was first in line for it. My take it this:
-awesome, unique experience for SFSTL
- some of the theming is painfully drab
- the audio is absolutely screwed up SO BAD (walking through the que you can't even hear what they are saying, it cuts in and out, the speakers are mounted way too far from the screens themselves)
- A lot of dead space during the ride itself. Why am I spinning around and then come face to face with LL on a small screen with so much room available - and then spin me around to barren wall?
- the guns quit working half way through the ride (on two out of the four rides I took that day) - our guns NEVER worked during that "tunnel" scene where all the little robot thingies are flying towards you
- the high score scene at the end only worked two of the four rides
LOADING is a BIG problem!
Don't get me wrong. I absolutely love the ride. I will love it A LOT more once it's actually working.
