As a massive theme park fan, this has been especially pronounced lately (if you want an example about how bad it's gotten, check out Fast and the Furious Supercharged at Universal Studios Florida) but there have been rides since the 90s that mix physical sets and screens really well. If you want to check those out, my two favorites are The Amazing Adventures of Spiderman and Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey, both at Islands of Adventure in Orlando.
- jadell 7y agoFast and Furious Supercharged is a terrible ride (and according to a friend of ours who works at Universal Orlando, the employees agree.) King Kong, also at Islands of Adventure, is the same ride type, and even uses the same vehicle, but is a vastly superior ride. I think a lot of it it comes down to the "story" the ride is trying to tell, and how well it tells it. Spiderman and Harry Potter Forbidden Journey are also excellent. I know it's a different ride type than we're talking about, but I'm looking forward to heading down to Universal Orlando this fall and for the new Harry Potter ride. Hopefully we won't have to wait 10 hours in line, like the folks who rode it opening day. Just my opinion, but with the exception of the Avatar ride as DisneyWorld, I find the rides at Universal to be much more entertaining and engaging.
