It's tough to see everyone crapping on this ride. That vertical lift is one of the few things, ride-wise, that makes me question my decision making while I'm on it. :lmao:

And the footprint is so clever. They did good to get this coaster in there.

I never thought I'd be in a place miss the queue videos!

Tummy check on aisle two!

Hasta! :cheers::cheers::cheers:

Confirmed that the parcel ID is USF, so things are getting interesting.

I’m with you a bit here, I enjoy this ride and it’s queue videos. This was my first big coaster post Hulk so I have nostalgia for it. The lift hill every single time made me nervous too. It’s a solid coaster.

Knowing the company can do way better though I am all for a replacement.

Gonna be honest, I actually thought he said "Chubby Checker on Aisle Two" (referencing the 60s singer). Don't know why.

I am actually one of the last defenders of this ride, and I will certainly miss it when it closes down. I think whatever comes will likely be a superior coaster though (not sure about the theme though... sorry, I'm just not a fan of Fast & Furious lol).

I'm in the same boat too. The F&F IP needs to be laid to rest at this point. But most park goers won't care too much about the theme attached to it as long as it delivers what they expect of a high thrill coaster.

Fast and Furious is one of Universal's biggest franchises, so it has a place in the parks. Just a shame that it's taken this long to give Fast and Furious a proper attraction on both Coasts.

Considering how large the fanbase is for Fast and Furious, the theming alone will draw a ton of people in.

A lot of win-wins with this project.

Whenever I hear them say “Let’s hit it! Hasta!” At the end of the video loop, my fat @$$ keeps hearing “Let’s hit it! PASTA!!!”

even if they didn't want to use fast and furious, what else could they even use that fits as well ?

The IP is good for a high thrill coaster. I just think the movies need to stop and the diminishing returns for Fast X kinda prove that point.

Fingers crossed that after Epic comes online, timelines leak out for USF's future additions.

F&F fandom wanted a fast paced coaster, and then they were disappointed with a cartoonish amateurish film and bus ride. This will take us back to step one.

I just hope that they take into consideration the coaster's impact on the park's aesthetic. Not a fan of a coaster zooming through New York.

I also hope they can find a way to add some landscaping between the soundstages.

Not expecting the entire area to be fully landscaped, but at least an improvement over what's there currently would be appreciated.

Again... how? :lol:

I agree that USF would benefit from more greenery, I'm just not convinced how it'll work between the soundstages.

Those roads between the soundstages are actively used to load the soundstages and the music plaza stages with semi trucks.

There is literally nowhere to put landscaping back there.

Me too. But I also question my decision making every time I get back on F&F Supercharged.
