Fast & Furious: Supercharged - General Discussion

[krazykat]

March 29, 2018 and still no opening date?

 

[Blaw923]

Marketing early screening is showing there is in fact no excitement over this clone.

They are revamping the marketing campaign to make it Super-SuperCharged!

(Joke)

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Oh my god, will this thing open up already?!

They're doing it to annoy @Drew

 

[SpatulaShack]

I'm assuming they're trying to avoid recent opening issues where the ride is "open" but basically not working 50% of the day like Gringotts and Kong but honestly, that just sort of goes with the territory of major theme park rides right? I mean, I was one of those people who waited 4 hours for Gringotts back in 2014 but I was happy it was "open" even with all the technical problems. No amount of testing truly prepares the ride for real-world conditions anyway. Just open this already so we can REALLY mock it freely without people saying, "but it isn't even open!" Or surprise us with something that isn't an abomination. Either way, it's enough already with the painfully slow peeling back of this scabby band-aid

yeah, seriously. I imagine even the GP are like, "why is there a huge brick warehouse backstage??"

 

[SpatulaShack]

A run down warehouse fits the franchise. They frequently are in that kind of environment in the movies.

Missing the point. A good 30% of Secret Life of Pets takes place in a gross sewer. Should that be the facade and queue for that ride because the pets spend time there?

What do you believe the facade should have been for F&F?

Sewer was a good point of the original ride design for SLoP

How much of MIB is at their headquarters? Actually how much of any movie is that their headquarters?

With all these posts, I was expecting previews to have started.

To be fair I don't have an issue with the facade actually. My issue is with that sneak peak twitter video showing the inside. It's ugly as sin and lacks detail. There are ways to do "ugly and industrial" better than this. From the looks of it, the loading area for the ride looks great so I guess there is hope but the giant holding area looks truly ridiculous to me in that short video.

Any chance of softs today?

From what I understand about SLOP, it had sewer sequences in the ride itself. It wasn't literally, "stand around in a perfect recreation of an actual sewer to wait for the ride." If we were zooming through an industrial warehouse ON this ride and not standing around in it staring at fake cars I'd be fine with it.

Yes, the inside is a bit lackluster from what we've seen

I personally feel the outside looks great...Much better than the Beetleguise theater that was there before

Darn. I will post the question every hour just to make sure

Just like the UPAP FB Page.

Yea no. Give it another few weeks. Ride is not having the best of luck.

Here's a video from inside the queue/waiting area thing:

Looks like it did in the concept art, but with only more cars than before that.

I think it's going to be a crowdpleaser for car enthusiasts in the queue, a crowdpleaser for kids that are in love with the franchise (but not large enough for an attraction on the scale of Mummy or TT), and a walking plague for Locals and the communities of all kinds.

While I would be angry too, it isn't the first time that a theme park has held their chest close on an opening to a long point of time.
