Personally, I think Fallon is going to far outshine F&F.

I'm personally looking forward to Fallon far more than F&F. If F&F is a similar ride system to Kong, while I think Kong is a great ride I do not think it will work well for that ride. One of the things I like best about Kong is the ride vehicle, it's perfect fit for the story. For F&F I expect to be in a CAR.

Oh, I wanted to ask, what are the restraints like? Will a larger person be able to ride?

Are they seriously considering putting us in a ROK Vehicle for F&F?

I have no idea. There was discussion on here of them being a very similar ride system as they are essentially both based on the 360 things for the Hollywood tram. I think it works really well for Kong, F&F not so much.

I couldn't care less about Fallon or F&F. I'll prob only give Fallon 1 ride just so I can say I did it. It's a really bad idea, he's a tool. F&F could be fun if it actually involved real speed, but it wont.

Next soft I'm excited for is Nintendo. Come on 2020. If it even opens by then.

Personally i think following KONG with any screen based attraction is a poor choice but that's just me.

How many times am I going to have to scramble my brain squinting and trying to focus of screen action.....

Especially for F&F there is so much potential for a race through the streets and drifting with 'light' screen integration for depth (think old Kong but street racing :cool:)

Please use the lot for something besides a big warehouse for a damn screen.

I think your sentiments are that of the majority of people, this ride vehicle works well for Kong...a big bus load of people for Fast N Furious? Poor choice. I want smaller, faster vehicles that actually resemble something from the Furious Franchise. I hope plans for this ride have changed.

Kong on the other hand, is a pretty good ride and a very welcome addition to IOA. In the long run I'm glad it's in this park over Studios. The last thing USF needs is another screen based 3-D ride.

I have already told everyone here that isn't the plan. It would be two smaller vehicles running in near tandem. This was the original plan.

And now, it is pouring out there. They have likely taken the show indoors at this point.

Honestly, I'm excited for F&F and Jimmy Fallon. A new attraction is always exciting for me.
Although, I will miss Christopher Walken.

Christopher Walken is the best. Loved hearing him sing as Louie :lol:

This poor attraction... even I am at the end of my rope here. What is it that they can't figure out??? This attraction isn't nearly as complicated as Gringotts.
