Fast & Furious: Supercharged - General Discussion

[GadgetGuru]

I'm not sure it was confirmed that that event actually involved people being able to get on the ride.

IF such an event took place, I have a feeling we would have heard some kind of reaction - positive or negative - by now through our various sources who might have their ears to the ground for that sort of thing.

I think it was an exec event? I would think execs wouldn’t be leaking info in any way. Especially when it could be easily traced back to them.

I don't know if this was mentioned previously, but the height requirement for this ride is higher than Reign of Kong's. F&F is 40 inches, and ROK is 36.

That’s fascinating. I thought F&F was using the exact same ride vehicle as Kong too. I wonder if there’s some effect (ground shaking?) that would impact the safety harnesses and height limits?

 

[Living_Bread]

I think the ride has a higher height requirement because the ride is from a different manufacturer?

Oh, the event happened. It was execs though, not regular TMs, so that's why you aren't hearing any sort of reactions.

Here's a pic from Bio on the day I mentioned it:

Ride Evac is another differentiator of height limits. Not saying that’s the case here, but it could be.

That post certainly doesn’t prove some executive ride-through.“Wrap party” is just an assumption from Bio, and Bio has been known to be way off on their assessments/guesses before.

We can go based on what we saw with Kong. Didn’t we see engineers and some “executive type” people (suits) riding it about 2-3 weeks before TM previews? Or was it longer (I don’t remember exactly)?
There was never an “executive event” with Kong. Not that we were aware of at least, and certainly not during park hours.

That's because it goes upside down!

There was an event and people did ride. That’s about as much as I know. It can be assumed it was important people and/or people that have been already working on the project, hence no leaks.

I believe the same folks that attended the ride event may have also attended the private function at Volcano Bay immediately afterwards.

Still waiting to hear about scheduled TM previews. Someday.

What if... what if some of the sound stages are removed?

 

[UniversalRBLX]

What if... what if some of the sound stages are removed?

I always believed Soundstage 24 could be removed for a ride building with the ride's facade being where the NY facade is located.

Let's not go through that nonsense again haha

I was using Bio as simply a second hand source to show something happened back there. I know unequivocally that an event happened and rides happened.

Can also vouch for this.

I know how to drive a car!

And these

Imagine you got banned from the resort for sneaking a peak at this one ride.

 

[Mad Dog]

Imagine you got banned from the resort for sneaking a peak at this one ride.

It would be considered a completely senseless act.

 

[JoeCamel]

It would be considered a completely senseless act.

Could probably get off with a one week ban due to the insanity defense

 

[Imperius]

They would probably give him a free pass for life since they would be so excited someone actually cared about the ride.

Maybe the higher height restrictions are due to something else than movement of the ride vehicle. Maybe it's due to the sexy girls in the pre-show? I know Americans rather have their kids seeing a big ape tearing a dino a new hole then scantly clothed women move to ungodly music. ;-)
