Like riding through a Home Depot.

Every time I see one of these action-heavy screen-based rides done with such little care I remember how Disneyland developed Peter Pan, Snow White, Mr. Toad, and Alice in Wonderland in tiny buildings in the 50s that are so much more pleasant than trash like this.

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

That's one of the most half-assed rides I've ever seen.

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.

I dont think they'll ever be a screen basef ride that would top the Amazing Spiderman. That ride integrates its screen perfectly with amazing set pieces and an actual story that makes sense for the ride. While being the first and oldest to ever do it.

Thank you for posting. There is a lot of room for improvement on this ride.

I appreciate most of the rides you film, but this one looked like possibly the most boring ride I've ever seen, unless you're a huge fan of the Apes franchise...which, I haven't met many. Stand in line, watch a short movie, get on the ride, watch a movie clip, take some wicked 1.6 MPH turns.... And then watch another clip. This ride is the equivalent to sitting on your couch and flipping the channels, occasionally landing on the same channel showing Planet of the Apes. Thank you for sacrificing time out of your life so we don't have to!

Given how often trackless rides break down, I can’t imagine anyone waiting for this for hours

8:05 we go in the water then turn right staring down a hallway then back in the water. How did the designers miss 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.

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.

Okay, I know I'm overanalyzing this, but how did we "help" exactly? Looks like we mostly just got in the way. :)

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.

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 KZfaq screen, but c'mon, at least one or two actual ape animatronics could've been really cool in a ride like this.

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.

After a day at a park, this is the ride I would do to chill and relax,,I love the movie Planet of the Apes, so this ride will be perfect to relax. Although I noticed a few details with the screen,,,the edges should've been covered better, you could see them as you get closer,,,but overall looks like a very good ride, although Spiderman screen base ride is my #1. Thank you for posting this video and sharing your experience with us. Looking forward for more videos. Have a Blessed Day.

No animatronics. No special effects. The vehicle just moves from screen to screen. Even as a Planet of the Apes fan, this ride looks disappointing.

i love how the pods slide sideways into the loading area. such a cool touch. that's the only positive thing i have to say about this ride.

Just another example on how the queue is better than the ride itself

This feels like it had a very small budget like $3 million on the ride vehicles and the rest of the stuff they went to Home Depot, picked up a couple of steals beams, ladders, and threw them around.

Thanks for sharing amazing

Thx for filming! 👍🏻

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

I'm sooo over screen based rides. I much loved the old special fx hand made that were more surreal.

Can you imagine waiting in line for a few hours and this is what you get?

Yay welcome to Malaysia.. hope u enjoyed 🤗

I'm not even a huge fan of the Apes franchise but this ride could have been so good if more than 2 seconds of thought had been put into it.

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.

Man, I wanted to see those animatronic apes on horses so badly...

Whoa, that's like Web Slingers at Disney's 2nd park in Anaheim, Ca. Or a trip to the widescreen department at Best Buy. Not sure, therefore, why trackless technology was even necessary. Even though projected CGI images cost money to create, the park's owner should have invested more in real, moving scenery, much less audioanimatronics, instead of a lot of static backdrops.

Discount Garth Brooks telling you to get into a hovercraft to help an ancient Roman emperor is wild!

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

I would not wait in any line for this ride.

Obviously the budget was 9.99.

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

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

It's like riding a roomba

7:00 the wilhelm scream 😂

I'm a massive 'Apes' fan, and I thank you for posting this video. I would not spend $10 on a Sunday afternoon or waste time for this drivel.

This is basically riding through Chicago.

I love the rides you film, but I really wish there was an affordable lens or lens filter capable of showing the 3d effects so it isn't always so blurry. It would add so much to the videos. Keep up the great work. Mike - Ashland, KY

The end parts made it all worth it. Also I realize that 3D glasses were part of this experience and that’s why it doesn’t seem as impressive on youtube. 👍🏻

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

Wow that's a good ride

For non Disney or Universal, it’s pretty good!

I was not super impressed with this attraction and I even wore some 3D glasses...I don't know if there were wind or water effects, could have used some smoke/fog effects. It's definitely not Disney, but thanks for taking us for the ride!👍🦧🐒🦍

the title of this clip really needs plural in "Ape". What if the ride had one ape? lmao

This looks cool.

Never seen the movies. From what i interpreted from the trailers, i thought Ceasar was the bad guy

This doesn't compare to the hard and amazing work of the spiderman ride or something, that utilized the screens very well. Made a big impression on me as a kid, still love it. This tho, egh

He said "San Francisco Isn't safe anymore"....psychic

I would love to see this with the 3D glasses.

Pretty cheesy, but par for the course up in Genting Highlands. Lived in S’pore for 6 years and we used to take our young daughter on the rides… good stuff for those younger than 12.

Next, they’re going to start showing full length movies while sitting on a trackless vehicle with little movements here and there and they will pass them off as “rides”

I remember doing the 1972 Universal tour which at that time had a Planet of the Apes demonstration so..... full circle?

Spider-Man at Universal blends the screens with real props and effects so well that to these days has still yet to be topped, and that ride opened in 1998

THAT WAS SICK

Not a fan of this franchise at all but was excited because dark rides are my favorite and I had never heard of this one or this park for this matter, still going to watch but according to the comments expect disappointment, especially since I've been spoiled by Universal. I can't wait until I see a POV of the DK roller coaster. ❤️

Wow thats one Dull Ride

07:25 ..... ROLLIN' AROUND AT THE SPEEEED OF SOOOUUUND-

we're really fed up with fights and war!!!!

Wow thank u imbf4om Scotland thank u

Is that Riley from Buffy?

I can't afford to take my family to these parks so these videos are so fun for me and my son to check out! Thank you for giving us an experience that we will probably never have!

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.

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

Looked like fun don’t get the negative comments not every ride is a 10.

Malaysia 🇲🇾

An epic tale of triumph and courage.

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

so coooooool

They should close this and renovate it with some animatronics

Needs 3d effects, anamatronics, life.

The designer procrastinated in the designing of this ride and had to come up with something the day before it was due

In my opinion it wasnt that bad I thought it would be worst than it was I do agree it needs help people mentioned screens and that's definitely the buzz kill a bit it should be blended with the environment

Yeah if you record it using a camera it is not so exciting, however when u go with your own foot and see with your eyes it’s wayyy better and good !

This is so interesting and so goofy 😂 I can't stop laughing

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

It’s probably more immersive if you have 3D glasses on.

Cool

I can’t help but think that this ride would’ve been way better with a similar track system to what Indiana Jones and Dinosaur have in Disney and in what Transformers, Spider Man and Jurassic World have in Universal Studios. This should’ve been set in the jungle where a tribe of the apes are chasing you, not in some warehouse in New York City

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.

What's The Ride Vehicle Name?

This maybe one of those gotta be there type rides lol

So you watch the TV, Board the yellow toilet, Go under the washing, Then after the teenage bedroom theming and much monkey business, the ride gets underway and just when it begins to get interesting it finishes. Yep, I'll take Tower of Terror. LOL 😅

Best ride I ever went on was my best friends sister😮 boy she could move😅

They didnt even try to hide the screens. Its like webslingers without the arm workout.

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

This would make a great interactive dark ride though...thats whats so sad!

My spidersense is tingling

The screens are too small in the middle. How can you tell Ceasar from the other apes? There’s no way to distinguish. Somehow he was found. The End.

Basing an Apes attraction on the original 5 films would present a much better attraction experience

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

The amount of potential that lies in a ride themed to Planet of the Apes is insane… And what’s even more insane is how this park failed to capitalize on any of it

Videos of a dark ride in 2D... Visually we see more than the camera shows, rides are generally 'darker' than the brightness needed for youtube, 360 sound... The whole experience looks like a good dark ride (its not a roller coaster) I agree, most dark rides lack "motion" in the theming. Imagine barrels falling, an ape swinging across the riders view, smoke... would make it more immersive... but reviewing a dark ride on youtube Never does a dark ride justice. (even Disney dark rides)

You described this as pulse pounding? 😂

So as far as dark rides go, it looks like Genting spent all their budget and care on Epic Voyage to Moonhaven, which I admit looks pretty great. These other rides? Ugh
