Fast & Furious: Supercharged - General Discussion

[JoeCamel]

Just wondering about the queue for F&F, are they getting rid of the San Fran front or at least refurb and make it fit more to the F&F theme?

From what I understand the facade stays. Let's see what the do with the F&F building, they have a year to go.

Makes sense. The building just seems so awkward. Would hope to see some enhancement to the facade. If not, it still works.

It's being set in SF. The SF facade works. It's a beautiful little section of the park. No sense in spending budget that could be used for attractions to redo the entire area.

No doubt, I love the San Fran area. Just thought Universal could possibly enhance for a little more themeing for the attraction. But makes total sense. Money could be spent elsewhere for sure.

Looks like the gas station we went to exiting off I95 into north Jacksonville.

I'm wondering how they are going to handle the transition they have created from one end of the building to the other? One end looks like brick, while the other looks more like wood. The brick end probably ends up a brownish red color, while it looks like they might go more tan. While that might not be noticed from the ground in San Fran, from across the lake, it'll be quite noticeable. Will they address that or just let there be a sharp transition?

Heh, if they make the changes to this "insinuated" by HTF & BriMan, maybe it'll turn out OK after all. As I've said before, still hoping for at least one set type scene before the 360 room.....I don't mind the 360 room since I thought the Kong 360 room was one of the best theme park experiences there are. Fun as all heck. My concern with Hollywood's F&F has always been what comes before the 360 room. Hollywoods' pre 360 room stuff was very meh. What's before the 360 room will make or break this attraction.

I definitely noticed it, it's pretty weird.

Perhaps that's just a base coat? Everyone remember the blue rocks from Kong haha

I thought this was brick all along.

Or the grey base for the transformers building? The good old days when people thought the ride building will just be grey... oh wait...

It got the conversation going so it has substance. You're inspiring other blogs where to look. Keep up the good work.

Edit: I've just seen the first photos you took. That giant orange building is a massiv eye sore.

Yes, there is that haha

Might as well expand the windows out.
