Fast & Furious: Supercharged - General Discussion

[jtsalien]

I think Shrek's pre-show is the best aspect of that whole attraction!

Sure. It's good some good jokes and decent enough figures.... But it has nothing to do with the show after it!!

Not saying it can't be fun. For the right people, Fast is fun. But anyone thinking that Fast is the worst product Universal has put into an Orlando park is wrong. Worst under Comcast? By all means. But people tend to forget the dark ages

Rode a few days ago and I thought it was good. It wasn’t amazing, but not that bad. You have to sit in row 5 or 6 , first car, and in the middle. I was laughing for a good portion just from the plot of the ride but I would ride it again for sure when I go back.

Once you've been on it once, your opinion is pretty much fully formed with this ride. It's not a ride that gets better each time you ride it, either. I actually think there's an argument to be made that it gets worse.

I'm at the point of parody with this ride that I'm actually excited to ride it now. It took over a decade for Twister to get that reputation.

I just cannot think of another Ride that was this bad and hated as much. for the most part most of uni's rides were at least "okay"

Superstar Limo. Stitch. OG Journey into YOUR Imagination. That Jack sparrow thing at DHS. Goosebumps show.

If you can laugh at it, you'll probably enjoy it. Camp comedy, mostly unintentional, for sure. Just like being able to enjoy those campy 1950's horror flicks. I kind of expected the Creature from the Black Lagoon to pop out of the drone, that everyone thinks is a helicopter. If they have to keep telling everyone it's a drone, then they didn't do a very good job conveying that.

I liked that Jack Sparrow thing, if you thought that was bad you should have seen Journey Into Narnia :bolt:

After these uses, didn’t they even just throw some benches into this indoor area and marked it on the park maps as an ‘attraction’ to cool down in?!
Good times.

I also think Shrek is the worst "attraction" in the park. Also loved the old Hitchcock show/movie. That 2 for 2 for UOR taking classic horror out of the park. I haven't rode F&F.

One of these is not like the other...

One of these wasn’t actually that bad and people just didn’t like it because it neutered a better attraction and forced in IP.

If we're talking about Disney too, then we can't forget the nightmare factory that is humanoid Muppets from Here Come the Muppets.

Disney once built an entire theme park that was as bad as F&F

You were referring to Disney attractions

 

[Parkscope Joe]

My original point wasn't that Disney makes bad rides so Universal can too, it's a reply to "I can't remember". There are plenty on both sides (hi Creature From the Black Lagoon).

Or "The Astuter Computer Revue"

 

[Galaxy Defender]

I guess that's the silver lining.... too bad it cost millions of dollars and took time and space to learn that the hard way

In the Army we used to refer to this as a learning experience. It is also known as a teachable moment.

I think Supercharged gets better the more times you ride it and can quote it. Short waits are great. The humor is intentional. Has anyone seen a Fast and Furious movie? The plots and dialogue are ridiculous and campy!

I'll agree on the better the more rides. Once I accepted the campiness, it wasn't so bad. But I still have to rate it on the low tier of Universal attractions. My GF though, still hated it after repeat rides. I will ride it once or twice a vacation, but I'll have to go on myself since Alene says never again. The poor quality of the 360 screen scene is my major disappointment. The ride would be better if they had Kong quality 360 scenes.

The Jack Sparrow thing was never "hated". It wasn't actually all that bad either. It's just that it always had a line because the park has no rides. If it had been in Disneyland, it would've been considered a nice diversion with little to no wait.

I think campy can sometimes be used to excuse a bad attraction
