Fast & Furious: Supercharged - General Discussion

[fryoj]

Boy those are some mighty desirable parking spaces some people have right there on the side. Could you imagine being able to park there?

That would be horrible. The walk around to Citiwalk to get in the park would kill you.

Anyone know what else is in the smaller building other than first aid?

USF ops base as well as command center, no?

a fate of the furious display showed up in front of the ride

USF ops base as well as command center, no?

Yes, as well as health services and some of park services.. it's quite busy. Combine that with the close proximity of the cafeteria and wardrobe, PLUS construction right next door.. could you imagine the traffic?

Any word if this is gonna be screen based with some practical effects?? Or just all screens......

The building right across from it is wardrobe, aka, the main team member entrance. And that road that goes off besides the wardrobe building goes to/from the main vehicle gate for backstage access, so pretty much constant traffic around there. Just a few buildings down is the main cafeteria.

So, arriving workers - shuttle busses for workers - and upper level staff, plus internal vehicles zipping around. A small number get to drive around backstage in a personal vehicle - most are driving the company fleet, but there's a decent number in the company fleet. The road is always busy.

It's also one of the few parking lots anywhere near the cafeteria.

How come I always see team members coming from the parking garages? Are there certain types of lower-level employees that don't get shuttled back stage?

All of Citywalk parks in the guest garage. Also the front half of IOA (entry, sues, Marvel) is debateably closer to the guest garage.

Prepare yourself for this to be mostly screens. There might be some practical(ish) scenes before the big 360 room, but probably nothing on the scale of Reign of Kong, for example. The "exciting" (if we can call it that) part of the ride is going to be conveyed basically entirely through ride film.

Alright. :thumbsupractical effects on "Slow & Not Very Furious" after all.

Id love the project name for this to be 'Slow and Calm' similar to WnW.

It won't be calm when the coaster & anti screenz crowd exits the attraction MF ing the ride.

It was worse when they were building the HE though. The construction of the ride was very intrusive to ops.

Here's an update from yesterday, including a closer look at the cars from F8. (Yea, I just called it "F8.") More pics posted here.





Photo Highlights:

No more Beetlejuice fountain:

Scaffolding on queue structure:

You can see triangle roof of next queue/pre-show building behind foreground steel:

Cool look at the backside of all the San Francisco facades:

Work walls pushed out much further than before:

Warehouse style show building:

Flying Fish street show moved to make room for cars on display:

Cars from The Fate of the Furious on display:

New merch stand added with a few related items:

Paint is a different color on London side to match Kings Cross:

And staging for roof work on top of old Disaster exit area:

Since yesterday though, they've added signs for the new film and Supercharged on the blank work walls, and work has started on the fake windows of the show building:

Fast and Furious Cast will be in Florida next week. I expect them to promote this along with some footage on Jimmy Fallon.

Yea, I think Vin Diesel is already being promoted as one of next week's guests. Maybe Fallon will go on a coaster with him and scream the whole time like he did with Kevin Hart.

Yep Vin is Monday's Guest, Tuesday is Scott Eastwood (also part of F8), Wednesday is The Rock.

 

[LieutLaww]

The cast may be in town, but I doubt Vin and Dwayne will be seen any where near each other.

Oh now, is this like the Helen Hunt/Bill Paxton situation? Do they film all their parts separately for the movies. Is that why the Rock is not in the middle of the last film? Ohhh, gossip.

 

[Mad Dog]

The cast may be in town, but I doubt Vin and Dwayne will be seen any where near each other.

Or, they can have them on the Wrestling show sound stage pummeling each other in the ring.

 

[LieutLaww]

Dwayne had a real beef about Vins primadonnoring during filming and he was very vocal about who he thought was doing the work and who was slacking off during filming
