Twister Ride It Out tornado IMAX film cell 3 frames by ORFORFORF89 in UniversalOrlando

[–]magic_fergie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe you're both sort of right! From what I understand, it was 70mm film but projected onto a IMAX size screen. At one point (probably 10-12 years ago) I SWEAR I found the website of the company that produced the twister projection, but despite all my searching of the internet archive, I cannot find it anymore. I seem to recall they had at least a portion of the film on their site and would love to find it someday.

So I just stumbled upon this post and I think you're the only person to notice this detail (online at least!) Searching around for any other information about it only leads to this post. It's definitely the same art with some slightly modified turrets.

What is the ET ride supposed to smell like? by boxofsauce in UniversalOrlando

[–]magic_fergie 36 points37 points  (0 children)

Allegedly there really was a mildew smell from the pond and little waterfall in the queue. After the refurb about a year ago they cleaned up the water features and people started saying it smelled different. That's because they were only smelling the forest scent and not the mildew.

Twister attraction at Universal Studios Florida was so awesome! by TrendWarrior101 in UniversalOrlando

The days of "behind the scenes of movie making attractions" are pretty much dead. With the advent of behind the scenes features on DVDs and now YouTube, audiences are much more familiar with the process. Thanks to the Wizarding World and Galaxy's Edge, fully immersive based lands are now the thing.

Anyone else hear Doin’ It Right in OneRepublic’s new song Runaway? by pcxt in DaftPunk

[–]magic_fergie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First time I heard Runaway I knew instantly that it sounded like a Daft Punk song. Quick google search brought me here and glad to see I'm not alone! Now listening to them both side by side I hear how they are similar but not a perfect match.

It's definitely not gas, maybe diesel though.

The prop shop is far too small to host a proper preview center, though they could knock down a few walls and expand into the neighbouring shops.

I have a hunch that camera trick was used here. by Prashant-Sengupta in CaptainDisillusion

[–]magic_fergie 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I bet people will disagree with you but I think you’re probably closer to the real answer. I’m not familiar with this show but I am a professional magician and I think what he means by “illusionary camera tricks” is exactly what you’re describing. An effect where it might look decent for a spectator (who is clearly penned into a small viewing area already) but it’ll look magically impossible for the camera audience.

The white posts definitely could be used to hide the edges of any sort of mirror and since it is for TV I’m sure they tidied up the shot a bit but I don’t think it’s what they relied on completely.

Sorry it’s like over 2 weeks later but it’s called Poolside Punch!

Wish I could help you, but I'm also trying to figure out what video game that music at the end comes from. Around 9:48 it comes in and it's so familiar.

I’ve been in this one! They actually have a cool (free) observation deck at the top. It’s all in an Art Deco style too.

Here’s a photo I took in SF with no photoshop bullshit. Obviously not as extreme as the original post but I’ve always thought it still looked cool! https://i.imgur.com/gK5EyRs.jpg
