Fast & Furious: Supercharged - General Discussion

[OrlandoGuy]

I can't comment, I missed the rehearsal phase by a week :-(
It looks like an apples and oranges situation though

Having been on both, I think Fast & Furious is better. Yes, the scales are different but in terms of what F&F gets right vs what Villain Con gets right (relative to its ambitions), F&F wins. VC takes the tired interactive ride conceit and actively makes it worse…at least F&F has a few unique elements and the 360 tunnel is a relatively novel effect.

My three boys are complaining that I said we are all going on F&F next week. 2 teens and a 20 yr old do not want to go on the ride representing one of Universal's biggest franchises ever. Speaks volumes. Also disturbing how spoiled kids are nowadays lol.

Punishment 2023: Kids used to get spanked when they were bad. Now they get threatened with F&F at USF.....

Tough to compare what's essentially a low budget B/ C ticket ride, that takes up a small space, to an expensive E ticket attraction that occupies a huge tract of land in the middle of the park. A park that essentially has available space issues.

I'm just going by the vids on YouTube, but. Looks really bad

Well I say, try before you deny.

When I did this fast and furious rude on the front seat. The second part with the action felt really cool to be honest. But only on the front seat

 

[Mad Dog]

Vids on You Tube rarely do an attraction justice, good or bad. They don't recreate the experience very well.

I hated this ride unambiguously too until I discovered that I, like Alicia, love to be blasted in the face with fog.

I work at the parks (VB) and go on Fast & Furious basically every time I’m in the back because it’s right next to the break area and the single rider line has never existed beyond maybe a family of four. I’ve always appreciated the atmosphere of the ride and it’s a nice way to cool down, but the audio is WAY TOO LOUD and the voice acting of the FBI agent in the pre-show scene is so bad and doesn’t line up at all. We even had to get evac’d last time I went because the screens stalled at the start. It’s probably been discussed in this thread but there’s a sign by the start of boarding that says something like “SAFETY GLASSES REQUIRED”, implying this was originally envisioned with 3D. Is this true, and was it ever in the ride? It seems too short to justify the cost measures.

The voice over doesn’t match cause they changed the lines he says after the ride opened. He used to say get on the ground but now says you’re under arrest.

And they cut 3D from our version of the ride before it opened, but you can still see a small silver plate covering a window at single rider where glasses pickup was to go. It got that far into development with 3D. Hollywood’s version on the tram tour still has 3D though, even though ours never did.

You’re under arrest, RIGHT NOW

They need to arrest whoever in management is keeping this turkey from being replaced pronto.

From purely an enjoyment level, I just don't get how people can consider this the worst ride lol.

It is. I've even tried to enjoy it as a unintentional slapstick humor attraction. It still sucks and isn't worth the time, even though its usually a walk on, or close to it.

You mean besides the incomprehensible story line and lack of ending?

too short, awkward bus, awkward acting, awkward graphics, awkward party, bad cgi,

 

[MagdolHauntsMe]

How can people make fun of this attraction? I thought we were all friends here. No, not just friends . . . FAMILY!

I thought that too but I waited all day on my birthday for uncle Vin to come by for a slice of cake and my present but he never came...

(Forbidden Journey is sadly just as bad on the story front...though at least it has, you know, a GOAT of a ride system.)

i dont care at all about the story, but the first party section is cringe and corny, it has atrocious acting lol.
the action part is cool but looks like early 2000s cgi, looks like a playstation 2 cut scene, And is too short.
