Not even the 20ft tall Vin Diesel animatronic at the end?

Correct. Most of the action will be on the sides.
I sort of can't believe they're even bothering to still build this.

They could replace all the screens with advertisements for "Super Nintendo World coming 2020" and it'd have the same effect.
It's so bad that Universal have to build another 3D generic screen simulator excuse of a ride. Meanwhile, Disney plans to incorporate actual animatronics of droids and fighters as part of Galaxy's Edge's new ride involving the battle between the rebels and the Galantic Empire.

Even if this ride somehow exceeds my expectations, it's still gonna be disappointing. Giving one of their biggest franchises such an underwhelming ride on a huge plot of land makes no sense.
A coaster/dark ride combo like Radiator Springs Racers seemed so obvious.

Here is an idea, what about we don't compare something that is getting a treatment similar to Reign of Kong to a billion dollar land?
If you want to make a better comparison, do Super Nintendo World and not Supercharged.
As it stands, there still is life for the franchise and that multiple films are in development.
There is more than enough reason to do it, although people will complain more of what it could've been and not give it an open opinion, that doesn't have any form of a bias.

The only thing good about this is I will probably ride it a lot where I never really rode disaster that much
I meant a new ride that Galaxy Edge is getting where the guests would partake in the fighting into the middle of a battle between the First Order and the Resistance, not the whole land. At the D23 Expo, Disney said they will include animatronics of droids and a bunch of bad guys along in the ride with some screens to go along with the story, sorta like the advance version of Buzz Lightyear's Astro Blaster. And up until SNW, Universal has been devoted to 3D generic screen attractions, which is not as fun and immersive as you would be for practical effects, and generally seen as lazy. I'm not saying they shouldn't stop making them, but I count more screen rides at Universal Studios Hollywood and Florida than I account for practical rides like the Mummy, MiB, and ET. I don't want theme parks to set this kind of trend where screen simulator rides are an alternative.
I assume it is only message board fans that are upset about a ride that hasn't opened. I am sure UOR had their reasons for their choice.
I sort of think this rides choice was more about the audience they hope to atract with the ride (isn't this franchise bigger outside of the US than its domestic success?
$5.137B worldwide to date and two more films in production is all the reason they need to build it. What is baffling is why build this and not something amazing?
Exactly.
A F&F attraction is a no-brainer, but I almost would've rather them waited to design a ride that suits the IP better down on the south property, but it seems as if Universal wan't to strike while the iron is hot (although the domestic gross was way down for F8 vs. F7).
They're lucky that the Franchise keeps performing so well overseas.

Well one is opening in a under a year and another is opening in years. I'm not a defender of this attraction but compares apples to apples.

Especially when you consider what the budget for one ride is versus the other. I feel certain that F&F will cost substantially less, although I have no proof to be certain.
I'm not going to lie and say that I'm excited about this ride. However, as a filler, it may be just what was needed. Fallon has turned out to be a pleasant surprise. I think that many of us (or just me) wanted something thrilling and awesome and set ourselves up for some disappointment.
