If it's seriously gonna be groundbreaking and unlike anything we've seen before, we're in for a treat!!! I can't contain my excitement.

My biggest hope, beyond their being physical elements, is that it isn't too short like Kong!

I doubt it will be, given the multiple rooms.

Well that was my initial thought as well, but the scenes can still be short. I'm probably paranoid haha. I'm sure they're going to do everything in their power to really make this worthy of being the grand finale.

The speed driven between each section is very important, and the tram must stop almost exactly on mark so that the individual gimbals for each car can function properly. Stopping too far back can cause a time out, and too far forward automatically ends the show and opens the doors. If you've ridden the tram long enough you've probably seen it happen in Kong and EQ.

I've been on king kong many times and the tram never had problems. The only issue i can think of was the driver not driving far enough to start the simulation. That might be a bigger issue IMO. But i agree that the new attraction will need alot of work.

F&f will be the Back to the Future of the 21st century. And i can't wait!

Trammer said:
Once completed, the attraction will have to be run through thousands of times with tram loaded with sandbags to simulate guest weight. We have not yet begun this process. In addition, all of the drivers will need to be trained to drive the attraction as it involves several important timing elements that must be accurately executed. This is something on the scale never seen in ANY theme park and I guarantee it will be huge hit - even more so than the Summer Kong opened. FF has a much larger fan base than Kong ever had and especially internationally. When we open you're gonna want to run straight to the Tour this Summer!

What i love about F&f is how human actors will run the show partially. Pretty much like Terminator 2:3D. Universal is pretty much paying tribute to their older attractions.

^ wasn't that just speculation.....? I think Musion effects would be a lot more practical.

^Besides, if they were going to use actors, you'd think they would have started auditions for that by now. Musion it is.

Yeah, they're going to be Musion. Which will be the debut of Musion at USH. I am excited about that.

I had that issue happen to me a few times when Kong was still in previews, we had to go back around because the tram wasn't aligned properly.

I hope that the tops and bottoms of the screens won't be as noticeable as they are in Kong.

The only problem I've had with Kong is whenever the tourguide plays a clip out of sync, so when we eventually do get into the showroom, we sit there waiting, in the dark, for Peter Jackson to tell us to put our glasses on. Then the "ride" starts awkwardly. I hope this doesn't happen with Supercharged.

More visual proof that the screens will encompass the tram unlike Kong.

Funny, the way the facade looks really blends in well with all the construction cranes, bungalows, and equipment haha.

It looks like they've added some sort of chainlink fencing around the façade as well.

....No. Look, from my own opinion, I expect a mid-may soft opening with it launching Memorial Day Weekend.

Look at this amazing comparison I made all by myself!

Okay, not really. You can thank forum member Zero56 for this masterpiece. It's amazing just how much of an improvement F&F really is compared to Kong.
