I’ve never been a huge fan of 3D glasses and despite supposedly having very good vision (never had glasses), I feel like I can never see properly with them. FOP for example would be much better for me if it was designed without 3D, you are pretty much inside the screen any way and I think it would remain immersive. I’m glad Soarin doesn’t have 3D!
So in that sense I’m totally fine about this change, but I also wonder if the sets and smaller screens will be sufficient after this or if it would need more redesigning.

I think 3D in its current form just has the weakness of varying so much across experiences. For example, I don’t have this issue you mention - the 3D gimmick effects work great for me.
Somethings you get a bad/poor/worn out/defective glasses that can ruin a sit through. I suppose that an individual person’s eyesight also plays into effect. Maybe it’s this lack of consistency (plus cost overheads) that has Disney rethinking 3D for Remy and potentially other experiences.

I think this happened to me the first time I rode FoP; the scenes were sorta blurry. I was so disappointed and thought the ride was overhyped. Buy since then I’ve ridden at least half a dozen more times with much better clarity and now I LOVE IT.
I do love Soarin’ too; I get a similar thrill from the flying sensation of that ride, although not as intense. I don’t know whether the feeling is heightened in FoP because of the extra sensation of controlling the vehicle (banshee)—leaning into the flight pattern is a big part of the fun—or if it’s the 3D.

True. What is interesting is that I don’t think I have ever had an issue with FoP…but then FoP doesn’t use 3D gimmicks either.

I don’t think they’re cleaning those glasses.
Not some of the last ones I’ve seen. I bring my own lens cleaning wipes
They definitely clean them and mine are always sparkling. Maybe do you have a kid hand them to you?

They clean them (in some fashion) between each use…BUT, many of the glasses have been scratched beyond salvaging, and Disney can’t easily replace them since they are specialized, and they are effectively running low. I think this contributes the need to get rid of them, because they aren’t cheap/easy to replace.
