True I love those old style dark rides where you feel like you’re actually in a surreal cartoon, it feels more organic and lifelike, screens are ok for background effects blended like clouds or a small projection of one thing but not huge overly lit rectangles

They didn't even try to blend in or cover the edges of the screen. The queue looks better than the ride itself.

@@QuothHerNevermore Nope. This is just really poorly done.

If these rides keep insisting on using screens, I wish they would make an attempt to make them blend in with their surroundings. Every single screen is a rectangle. 5:22 - The screen could have been behind a practical garage door. 6:53 - The screen could have been behind a practical wall that removes the center part revealing the screen behind. It is obvious we're looking at a screen, which takes us out of the immersion. 5:56 - That "window" screen is a foot away from the practical tipped shelf , which makes the window look to be about 6' tall. The human, which appears to be right in the foreground, is 2' tall? Also, they could have put the screen behind a practical window. 8:08 - We go from a screen submerging us underwater, to a practical forest set, to another screen making us come out of the water. They made no effort to merge these screens. They could have even just turned out the lights in the forest scene (no vehicles were occupying it), and that would have concealed it better.

DUDE! I didn't know that there was a Planet of the Apes dark ride! This is gonna be aweso.... It's gonna be a bunch of screens, isn't it? Ok, ok, I'll be fair. There are some great rides that are technically just screens (The Back to the Future ride, the Amazing Spiderman ride.)I actually do think that the theming is pretty cool, although a little inconsistent. It's probably a lot more immersive in person than just watching it on a KZread screen, but c'mon, at least one or two actual ape animatronics could've been really cool in a ride like this.

I thought "how could I have never heard about this ride?" Then I saw it was not an attraction but rather a series of video clips.

All that mattered was that people were applauding us at the ride's finale. Theme parks can't go wrong if the ride ends with people celebrating you

No reflection upon your videos because I truly appreciate this channel, but it is disappointing how so many of these trackless rides rely so heavily upon video screens. They don't even make much effort to blend the video screens into the attraction. Too bad. This could have been one heck of an attraction. Nevertheless, please keep bringing these videos to us. Blessings to you.

Trackless dark rides truly have just become an excuse for screens and laziness. In theory, they give a chance for great movement and dynamic scenes, in practice they're used as a hall of screens.

Thanks for the video! 6:25 looks like something out of a trailer dark ride in a travelling fair. Just mannequins and flashing lights - but still the closest thing to an animatronic in the ride.

I'm always baffled at how empty parks in other countries are. This ride is ok, but a few things would improve it. At least a couple animatronic apes and maybe a truch moving in or some things like that would have really raised the bar. Also, some of the screens could have things around them making them look less like screens. I'm sure it looks good in 3D, but put some foliage and more warehouse stuff to hide the edges. There's also a few parts where it's like they're just moving the car to use up time.. add some dialogue or, just something could have been planned to fill those moments.

Parks in other countries can be just as popular as in the US (see Japan), but these strange outliers you've never heard of that somehow get budgets are usually offering money to Western corporations to build the parks - making the countries appear friendly to tourists while covering up human rights abuses. The result is that the primary parkgoers are foreign businessmen passing through, while regular citizens are too impoverished to attend. It's a sickening development that even Disney and Universal have been partaking in, and why big business should be fought at a political level.

Yay welcome to Malaysia.. hope u enjoyed 🤗

I like the ceiling screen and helping by pushing the crates in the third scene . But... Why is the door to the vehicle so big. The edges of screen not even tried to be hidden. Speakers just on the wall not tried to be hidden. A tank fires at you and the end result is a red light on a container? Turning the vehicle toward another with no effect to show why(talking about how Jumanji did it). Turning the vehicle at the end to show the final themed hallway before seeing the final video. I have more but I still enjoy new rides. It's not expensive to use cheap items for a rides opening. Its ok if it doesn't last over time but for a grand opening the amount of dead space in this is just making me ask who said "this is perfect, let's open to public". Not even a little smoke effect on the gunshots on walls. Just lights and that's it.

I'm sleeping almost during the entire ride.

Everybody is complaining but this very small park went all out on the theming tbh. I think they've managed to put down some amazing rides that I'd definitely could enjoy. Obviously animatronics would be better but they probably didnt have the budget for it and still gave us a fun ride experience

The tv screens seem a bit lazy to me. I mean there's nothing wrong with using a screen every now and then, but at least disguise it as a broken wall or a window. Not an obvious rectangular projector screen. And where are all the animatronics? This ride could be improved by a lot if it had some robot apes swinging on the ceiling, riding on robot horses and popping heads out of garbage cans or something. Maybe even ape figures that don't move. For an ape ride there's hardly any apes

Unfortunately, the rides now are so boring... without animatronics and only with video clips... Where is the tecnology in the development of new rides?

That was quite mehhhhh. Thanks for posting, so we know we ain't missing much.

To be honest, considering the park must be on the smaller scale since I've not heard of it, it wasn't terrible. For one thing, the screens are 3D and not being there the other effects, (wind, water, ect.) can't be felt. I've seen worse. The main issues are that the screens are not blended for the most part, there are a couple areas between transitions that would have been better in lower or no light and there were no ape or animatronics. Some of the physical sets looked decent though. Honestly considering I'm not a fan of this franchise it looked OK. Love to see a review from the rider personally.

One thing I think is neat I didn't see at first in this one is the ride vehicle tries to give the appearance you're moving via propeller in the back. I feel for safety concerns or money they don't seem to actually run but that would be pretty cool if they did. There is a scene where you see another ride vehicle. It would have been neat, if for at least that scene they actually rotated and had the effect you could feel the propeller from the other vehicle.

I like how there’s a massive queue area with zero people in it.

That queue was so long, thankfully you didn’t have to wait

Kind of hilarious how rides are getting worse with time. I can’t imagine anything like space mountain or pirates of the carribean being built these days

Without a great deal of effort this could be a pretty good last of us ride. Change the screens to Joel and Ellie stuff, have a few zombie animatronics around, one great big bloater, then have the chase through the city part be like a fedra vs fireflies scene

I can see the need for more animatronics but realize keeping it simple reduces the the cost of maintenance. Plus pretty sure it is hard getting technicians and parts outside of America. From the looks of the crowd (lack of crowds) not sure if revenue would substantiate the additional cost of operation.

Cool

This ride looks fun

This maybe one of those gotta be there type rides lol

I’ll give it this: it looks better that F&F Supercharged

It seems like the ride very rarely if ever has the parallax matching the movement of the ride vehicle. Especially when approaching the screens, you can see a sort of elongating effect in the image.

You described this as pulse pounding? 😂

I saw this in person. I really liked the queue area. The ride … not so much.

The queue & physical set pieces are really good looking! just for the rest of the ride to be a flaming pile of dookie.
