It's a fact bubblesworks is the worst example but nearly all their new dark rides rely on screens. Jumanji at Gardaland, Gangster granny is nearly all screens, alton manor to quite an extent too, Darren browns ghost train though I appreciate they have removed those now at least but it's very underwhelming without physical things. Just look at the contrast with Valhalla, not a screen in sight
Alton Manor isn’t heavy on screens and with the exception of the stupid screaming Skull one the screens they do have incorporate well. Screen technology is a part of dark rides across the world now. I do like the fact she mentions getting rid of VR and hopefully that indicates a desire for more immersive experiences so hopefully any future rides will be a fair balance of effects.
Do wonder if some of this change in direction is why Horizon has paused, wouldn’t be surprised if that was going in a direction the new leadership didn’t want anymore.
