I've been stuck inside ride breakdowns at our Hong Kong Disneyland before, including Winnie The Pooh and Mystic Manor, so once the work lights get switched on, most of the effects will either get turned off or continue to operate fully lit. It's a fun experience ...

[@procrastinator0219]

Just got a chance to ride this last weekend and it was so stunning. All the pieces come together really well

[@davidandora]

I create special effects for a living, and have an pretty good aptitude for recognizing telltale effect details. On my single ride through, I recognized what appeared as a not-fine mesh at the front of the Donald Duck carnival booth, but your observation of the black components would seem to negate any projection technique. There ARE transparent OLED screens, which also produce the localized light...but no opaque blacks! Examples can be found on KZbin. The mesh pattern I saw with my own eyes seemed larger than to be video resolution I had mistakenly identified. No form of projection or display technology that I’m aware of can produce BOTH opaque black and Illuminated (solid appearing) white. Maybe a combination of the two technologies? I’m stumped. Such a fun puzzle! Also, I believe the projection surfaces are utilizing one of the many Ambient Light Rejection(ALR) paints that appear BLACK unless projected on, and only then are quite brilliant. Probably one of the newer ultra-flat black paints used on Mickey and Minnie’s heads too. So many wonderful clever techniques at work in this ride!

[@kentberame9]

Thanks for your insight!

[@davidandora]

Whatever this technological feat is, it's a new trick in the Imagineer toolbox because it's in use at the new Beauty and the Beast ride, creating the dancing dishes in the cabinets from the Be Our Guest scene. My guess is a custom layered transparent LED and transparent OLED.

[@johnsensebe3153]

I believe it's a black and white LCD used to create opacity, synchronized with a projected image on a scrim. An LCD can't produce whites even if you project on to it. "White" on an LCD panel is simply transparent.

[@davidandora]

@@johnsensebe3153 I got to ride this again at Disneyland last week and saw the projector this time around. My theory is that the content on the transparent LCD panel is only a 100% black silhouette of the ENTIRE character which provides both the blacks AND a surface for the projector to hit for all the white/colored areas. A dynamic digital projection surface. Genius creativity!

[@johnsensebe3153]

@davidandora That's basically what I'm thinking, except I don't think an LCD panel by itself has the right properties to project an image onto, hence a scrim, or at least a special surface on the LCD panel that acts like one.

7:13 I feel these fountain streams are bent oled display strips. Not moving parts or projection.

Perhaps, but OLED screen, let alone flexible ones are VERY expensive. It's be much easier and cheaper to project it.

[@remconet]

@@AmusementLabs We're talking about Disney... a few flexible oled screens are a small part of the budget. You can see the 'projection' is on all sides, even on the back. Also it doesn't deform. It's not possible to project like that.

[@kellyduckling5729]

I don't think people know this as commonly, but if you werent in the ride and was just sitting in the room, the way it works (projected rooms) is awesome, when a room is closed, you wonder how it restarts, the whole scene is programmed to reverse the animation and stop at the first frame for other visitors on the ride.

[@AmusementLabs]

? I've seen some ride stop clips and they seem to have a holding animation. Like the carnival scene will just keep showing a seamless wind animation. Like a loop. After a while it just goes dark in the clips. Are you referring to things that used actual film? Cause that's the only instance where it would make sense, at least to me.

[@Rcassociatedb4]

I Love this video! Such an amazing look at what's going on here. I appreciate the technology and give credit to Disney Imagineering for this ride. That being said I don't care for the ride subject itself. Miss GMR!

[@averyeml]

This video was as great as I hoped it’d be! I appreciated the little model of the screen, because as I’ve said before even having an idea of how it works I just couldn’t make my brain see it! Thank you for going into detail, you answered questions I didn’t even know I had! Your video is so well produced, it is smooth and the effects you did add look really neat and well-done. It makes me assume you’re using some halfway-decent video editor, even something as simple as iMovie. The only constructive criticism I have is that in any halfway decent video editor you have the ability to put in multiple audio clips- feel free to chunk your script up into incredibly small pieces! It’s slightly more effort to put in (though with good file naming you could make it easy), but then if you get stuck on a word or run out of breath you only have to re-record that one chunk. Your work is so great that its really barely a problem, but your work is so great that your presentation should match the wonderful research! I’ve noticed you have spoken about better audio quality- while that’s always nice, I’ll listen to someone on a terrible mic if everything is clear and well-pronounced. Again, I am seriously in awe of how in depth and great your work is, and I know that it’s just a learning experience with technical things. Don’t ever stop- this is quickly becoming one of my favorite channels!

[@AmusementLabs]

Thanks. Happy to share. 🙂 On the editor I'm using Shotcut. For audio I'm just using my phone (s10+), but where I'm recording matters too. When recording I can scroll back and record over a failed line. I did procure a new mic so hopefully that does help.

I really appreciate this. I've been very curious about some of these effects. At 9:21 we see past the doorway labeled Twister: Enter Here where the characters appear to be actually walking on the floor. There doesn't seem to be any glass or screen but their feet seem to clearly be touching the floor. It's amazing. Any ideas how that's done?

[@AmusementLabs]

That's definitely a projection. That's why there's the two wall border on the left and right, to add depth. The shadows there are part of the projection. With it off, that back surface would be white.

[@cesario76]

In the 10:32 effect, maybe is some screen angled video, like the one they used in Spider Man in universal. So u can have some kind of perspective window. Is just a guess oc.

The curving edges of the exploded screen are likely each driven by a single servo. A series of wedged pieces can be used to create a smooth curve that can be operated reliably by a single axis.

[@AmusementLabs]

Exactly. Very simple mechanics.

[@bpark10001]

The Donald Duck effect could also be done with a 50% mirror set at 45 degrees in the scene, with a conventional flat-panel screen with Donald lying flat under the window facing up. The fact that the scene is in a box makes this effect easier to set up & conceal.

I’m pretty sure that it goes through the ride in a secret track and waits at the end and they join. Ack together, but that’s my guess.

[@bac9339]

FloofyPolarBear There is no track. The system is trackless and the locomotive leaves the ride area to a cut though where it can rejoin the next pod of vehicles towards the end. It’s not necessarily the same conductor car jointing back with you since it doesn’t have to be.

[@thewalkingdad68]

One thing that is kinda interesting is that most of the ride takes place in only two rooms and you just go back and forth between the rooms and a connecting hallway. All of the sets change slightly and the projections change. I've seen a few ride thru videos where the rider held the camera backwards facing behind the car and focused on the hallway between the two rooms. You can get an extra sense of what is happening. It's kinda bizarre to witness. More so than the quick one at the end.

[@AmusementLabs]

[@ericburgess61]

That tornado scene is nothing to be trifled with. I've seen hats and expensive Mickey Ears sitting by the side of the track. Better to go hatless for this one.

I think the white tones on Donald are like the inverse to the Hux/Kilo shadow effect in the interrogation rooms. But rather than project into space, they hit a surface. Thank you for this vid! Very interesting...so much to miss.

[@AmusementLabs]

Hm. Maybe. This was just my best guess as to how. Some say LED screens, but LED screens are not transparent unless they paid through the nose for the new transparent OLED TVs, but that wouldn't explain the black. Maybe it's like those surfaces that have micro ridges with different colors. 🤷‍♂️

[@orange_turtle3412]

In person, the screen rising up to reveal the hole is pitifully obvious. The smoke machine is behind the screen and inside the hole, so the hole slides up before the smoke can come out and it completely ruins the effect. I would make the smoke shoot up from below the projection and have the screen slide up AFTER the smoke comes out so the effect is actually hidden from view as intended.

Great job as usual!!! For some more possibilities about how the Donald Duck projections are achieved in the Amusement Park scene, check out the videos of Hong Kong Disneyland's Iron Man Experience ride, especially the walk-through queue area where the Iron Man vehicles are on display and there are multi-layer video screens that showcase the vehicles' individual capabilities.

[@AmusementLabs]

Okay, I'll look I to it. Another guess is the projection windows in the queue for Tron in Shanghai. So many possibilities.

@@AmusementLabs I haven't been to Shanghai's park yet, I live in Hong Kong though. From looking at videos of the Tron ride, the projection window technologies look the same as the iron Man ones - not surprising since Shanghai Disney opened some months after the Iron man ride opened in Hong Kong.

IM SO EXITED

I'd say you can still see the rising screen fine, something like a flash of light from the explosion would've hidden it better.

[@KeepCalmContemplateYourChoices]

Did they save the props from The Great Movie Ride?

[@AmusementLabs]

For the most part probably not.

[@PoleTooke]

Coaster Labs presents...? Did you used to be under a different name?

[@AmusementLabs]

Yes

[@Jake76667]

I heard that Russi Taylor actually voiced Minnie in this ride before she passed away. Is this true?

[@AmusementLabs]

She did. This is one of the last project she was a part of.

[@Jake76667]

Coaster Labs Thanks

I have a different idea about the 2D projection. The LCD panel creates an opaque (black) silhouette, leaving the remainder of the panel transparent, yes. The external projector throws the white and color areas onto the silhouette (leaving the black opaque areas for lines, etc and clear panel areas unilluminated.) This makes more sense than a “white projected backlight” imo...

[@AmusementLabs]

True. Or it could be both since some saturation can be lost through projection. Imagineering story did illude to being pretty much what I predicted, but it wouldn't be crazy for them to throw us off a little to maintain some sort of secrecy.

[@MichaelPatrickPorkins]

@@AmusementLabs Finally watched the episode of 'Disney Insider' featuring this attraction. You can actually see the black LCD 'silhouette projector surface' for Donald in the background as the imagineer describes a "transparent monitor that we're using and combining it with projection". Very clever, and possibly evidence of the technique I'm suspecting. Wonder if the "glow" on goofys ceiling is just the reflection of the projection onto the LCD silhouette?

[@AmusementLabs]

@@MichaelPatrickPorkins I got it pretty much on the money considering they put that out long after I made this.

Could you by chance do horizons epcot?
