Fast & Furious: Supercharged - General Discussion

[Scott W.]

We don't know that yet. I've gone from being down on the project last year to having an open mind now. This may turn out OK yet.

I think this was more a personal reference to Kong and the general consensus to Fallon. I've still got hopes for my first ride on Fallon and F&F.

Good read.......With the lights on

The general consensus to Fallon on OU (and now Robert Niles from Theme park Insider) from people that have rode it is actually pretty good. The negative responses mostly come from people that have not rode the ride. They really don't count.

I get the feeling Uni's track record on queues indicates this will be more than just a car showroom.

That's a really interesting point. Low expectations could be Fallon's saving grace. Lightning might strike twice with F&F.

For the fans anyway...I feel the GP still expects a coaster for some reason...That's all I've seen on the social media comments..."I hope it's a coaster" or "Is it a rollercoaster?"....I guess that is said with every new ride, but it seems like it is more with F&F

I've done Fast & Furious. It's embarrassing. GP who ride with me think it's embarrassing.

I refuse to lower the bar on that one. The script sucks, the performances resultantly suck, the ride medium is misapplied, and the media/graphics are terrible.

Exactly, we shouldn't "lower the bar" just because we know what to expect. We should set the bar at what the GP will expect out of a F&F ride and if it doesn't hit that then yes, it is a failure.

The vast majority of people don't have our level of knowledge going in so we shouldn't lower expectations of what to expect out of one of their biggest franchises.

I don't get what is so exciting about seeing just cars.

If it's the cars used in filming in the movies, that would be exciting for people to see the real props.

The queue looks amazing. It's like a car garage/ warehouse. Looks super nice and I'm looking forward to this.

I'm not going to read into the picture too much, but this looks like a virtual queue. The people are standing in wide crowds and there doesnt seem to be any sense of a line.

Normally queue line bars aren't included in concept art - and if they are there are one or two people standing around pointing - but that would be cool!

Wait...you mean calling someone a "stink pickle" doesn't make for a good script?

Also, I agree with you to an extent that it's really not a good attraction. I've been on it several times now and it just doesn't do the franchise justice.

3rd times a charm right?

Thank god. I hated those graffiti walls.

It's odd how they keep painting that window black, then taking back to the base color. It's like they can't decide how they want it to look. I know it's all to go behind the fake windows, but you'd think they would have mocked this all up months ago and made those decisions already.

You know how those decorators are - just back and forth til forced to pull the trigger on something.........:tongue:

The decorator is a former Disney Imagineer. He's getting paid on an hourly basis, not salary. You know how much he made just off of that one window.

It was explained in the making off for Diagon Alley. They where painting the lion heads near the water. The light outside, in relation with the reflection of the surfaces around it and the place the sun comes up and goes down, all are impacting the coloring and coloring effects they do. Unlike some they take their work very serious and it's something to appreciate.
