Fast & Furious- Supercharged details officially released

[RustySpork]

I think with the suggestions I gave it could be improved from "the worst attraction of all time" to "one of the worst attractions of all time", at best.

FTFY

What are some examples of this?


I think with the suggestions I gave it could be improved from "one of the worst attractions of all time" to "bad", at best.

The best example of "visual targeting" error is the warehouse sized "Under The Sea" scene. The ride vehicles should circle the room six feet above the entire show scene. That way if you happen to look past the "visual target" (Ariel AA) you see themed rock work and fake coral. As it is now, with being on the same level, if you look past the "visual target" (looking up at the Ariel AA), you see light rigs and A/C ducts.

Isn’t it about time Universal hit us with a distraction? Disney, worldwide, are hammering them with announcements. In reality, we’ve heard some overview details on a new Harry Potter coaster, in 3 years for Orlando (they announced Fallon and F&F on the same day)...what’s planned for 2020 & beyond?

Universal have a lot to prove after their recent output. In ways they can’t win, if this is great the question remains,.,,can they only build good rides now with Warner Bros and JK directing things.

Glad to know you are consistent. It is good to be regular.

Don’t start with that I love Universal, but they’ve not capitalised on their momentum post Diagon (from a fan pov, not attendance which tells a different story)

Yeah. Only hardcore Universal fans at this point will have trouble recognizing that Uni raised the bar for the entire industry and then doubled down on all of their negative aspects because people kept piling in. Reactions have gone from “Wow! They’re beating Disney at their own game!”to “Really? This crap again?” Fast and Furious is so bad that it is seriously going to damage their already wavering reputation.

It’s disappointing because we saw the entire resort completely rejuvenate itself from 2010 to 2015.

A whole new park

A whole new park

Or two. Or three since they call their water parks 'theme parks.'

Rode this unimpressive monstrosity yesterday. It’s everything that most have previously mentioned. What I find pretty funny about this ride is how uncharacteristic it is to the actual Fast franchise. I understand that when translating a franchise into a theme park ride, that some things needs to be tweaked in order to create a compelling attraction, but this was nothing of that sort. Silly storyline, cringeworthy acting (The Rock being extremely corny) and the over the top chase scene that made absolutely no sense... What was Shaw’s problem with the people in the party bus?

People may complain about Kong, BUT Kong is far superior than Supercharged... Also, reggaeton as queue music?

I can't believe we lost two mainstays for what ended up being another subpar screenfest... and this took 2 1/2 years to build? Seems awfully long for something like this.

2.3 years. 28 months. As fast as Kong.

They tore it to the ground and started building from scratch. How long did Seven Dwarfs Mine Train take again? And Avatar?

I love how the riders were silent the entire time. Even they knew it was boring. I also love that one guy tried clapping near the end but stopped.

Okay, I take back what I said about Hippogriff.

But it really isn't that great. It's more of a collection of recognizable things from The Simpsons meant for photo ops than something that is in any way immersive. I do agree that it's a huge improvement over what was there, however, and I wouldn't want them to waste money on an immersive Simpsons area. I say that as a former huge fan of the show, but it's been bad for almost 20 years now and for some reason it's still going.


UOR's previous two attractions have been more in line with F&F than WWoHP. In all honesty, to me WWoHP stands out as the clear exception (up to this point and of the better part of the last decade and change) in which Universal was willing to go the full distance to create something great.

Yeah, Springfield at USF while better than what was there in the past pales in comparison to the one they put in at USH. Way better theming and actually feels more like a section of Springfield than the one at USF

This. They're working hard at undoing their good work circa 2010 - 2015

Who are the creative team making these decisions ?

Either you are copying and pasting your own posts into multiple threads or I am having a major case of deva vu.

My family visited Universal for the first time last week, and we rode it, too. My kids (9 and 11) walked out saying, "How is it possible that they explained the ride to us for 20 minutes [via multiple pre-shows] before we even got on, and I still have no idea what that was about?" It was everything I've assumed the movie series to be: a lot of swagger and zero substance.

I think what bothered me the most is that the ride system seemed so similar to King Kong -- which my family was dazzled by, and found to be incredibly immersive and convincing -- and yet the movements/vibrations on F&F were so fake and poorly timed that we couldn't suspend our disbelief if we tried. I feel bad that they put all that time and effort into a long, impressive series of queue buildings, because I can't imagine that the line for this thing is ever going to be full. Even the standby line was practically walking on when we went...
