it would be awesome if they built it in the back of FL.

How much of Disaster did Fast and Furious use?
None. Aside from what facades are left.

I really wish if they were putting in rides in world showcase, if it had to be IP based, that it would be IPs from those countries so at the very least they are putting forward something from that country and its media. Still, Rat is far better than FEA in terms of making sense to be there, as would Coco if they were to replace the Donald Duck ride featuring Mexico.
Yea, I don't even want to imagine the Millenium Falcon ride with its 7 ride vehicles and 6 seats, you might be able to ride it after 2 days using a fastpass.

28 ride vehicles. But point still stands.
This is going to be fascinating. We really don't have any recent examples of two attractions with similar capacity and similar popularity expectations simultaneously opening. Apart from a new park opening I guess.
My expectation is that both function akin to FoP, which may lessen the overall burden if there was just one of them.

Oh that is slightly more reassuring, guess I just read a bad article making that claim. Still, the park won't have any real people chewers so wait times will likely be a 'bit' long. Really wish Disney would implement some more longer omnimover riders.

It wasn't incorrect, each carousel has 7 ride vehicles. But there are four of them, and four identical Millennium Falcon interiors (so hence the 28 total).

Didn't you just indicate there was a retrofit here? Or were you referring to Hollywood?
I don’t believe so. Applied constraints were from above.

I'd like to dispute that just a bit. It's essentially just a retheming of Disaster, except not instead of real sets and interesting effects, they put you in a screen tunnel and shake you. The original sets could still be under there for all I know and the vehicles only look different.
Then again, I tend to get Vin Diesel and The Rock mixed up, so what do I know.
Not that much when it comes to this I’m afraid. Disaster was razed aside from the facades facing the lagoon.

Sorry for all the quotes, but there's a misunderstanding here that I wanted to clear up. Martin was just saying that F&F had size and ride system constraints placed by management, and that negatively affected F&F. @RSoxNo1 Is coming from the point of view that WDI did the best they could with an existing space and what they had to work with.
Like @RSoxNo1, I personally see the two differently, but I can certainly see how @marni1971 views them as boiling down to the same problem. After all, in the end it all comes down to money.
Sorry again, but it seemed like there was too much confusion in this conversation.

Interesting note - F&F and Kong have slightly different ride systems. One uses mechanical actuators to convey motion and the other uses air bags. I can't remember which is which, though.

Not quite true. Some of the section of the building facing Diagon Alley, is part of the original structure (it’s the part of the loading platform section and part of pre-show scenes 1, and 2) just completely gutted and then they built the rest of the new show building onto that. I’m assuming for tax and filing fee purposes. IE: Renovation as opposed to complete new build.
But yes, a majority of the structure is brand new.
