Ehh there were quite a few posts acting like a post-Summer opening was happening less than a week into the actual Summer just because there was no opening date yet.

Well, some of the comments were exaggerating things, but the initial discussion was fair lol

None of those quoted posts come close to a "freakout."

Alright - let's move it along. Online text is hard to decipher. We don't need to get into the weeds about this and just focus on the future of Previews.

Sounded like a good time until
Additionally, the points system is apparently arbitrary. Shooting the same item multiple times results in different amounts of points and sometimes shooting nothing at all still gives you points.
Hoping that's just a kink being worked out still with these tests or else that's like building an escape room where it doesn't matter if you successfully escape the room lol.

Yeah I can't tell if that is purposeful because of the amount of kids they anticipate on the ride or if its a malfunction. I like the idea of not having the typical "hit these 5 spots and max out your score" but without that it ends up as much more of a skill game and not sure they want that.

After multiple ride through I still had trouble figuring which objects give points and which don’t. It felt very random

It’s very chaotic. There are lots of mini reticles/icons for each persons blaster on the large screens that sort of feel cluttered. There’s a small 1inch size screen on the blaster that shows your running score and reticle before you ride, but even then I had trouble finding mine. It was also a smidge laggy but hey it’s still testing.

You are also packed closer to other people on the walkway than I expected, I had to move around to get other ppl out of my way and shoot. You also can run out of ammo and have to shoot boxes to get more ammo, which can get very annoying

Interesting!

I'm glad to hear there's at least some physical sets though.

Are there any physical targets? Or are they all on screen?

Anything you can shoot at and interact with is on the screens. It feels like web slingers with how you interact with the screens. I don’t hate web slingers btw

I don't think it's fair to compare any of these attractions to each other lol. They're all completely different.

I want to hear opinions as to if this is better, just as good, or much worse compared to previous attractions in the same space

Well there’s no incredibly loud and violent “moving seats” so Villain Con automatically wins against shrek.
