Scooby snack food items would be wonderful. :clap:
Godzilla
You know, some IP just don’t translate well to ride experiences IMO. I think F&F is one of those IPs.
F&F can and would be able to translate well to multiple ride forms.
Be that a PowCoaster like what DynamicAttractions has, to a proper BTTF style simulator, or even a scoop ride with simulated speeds on a level closer to Transformers, but with practical effects included.
Yes to the PowCoaster or the scoop ride. So much could be done to make this ride truly fast and furious. Not as big on a simulator but that would be an improvement.
I'd say nix the fast and furious...add Scooby Doo. Just reskin the attraction and make the storyline fit the ride system. I mean, other than having the characters in the park there's no other representation. Plus there's going to be enough Potter represented in both parks with assumingly more to come at EU. Just be sure to leave the Amity bathrooms untouched. But that's just my two cents.
The scoop feels completely natural for F&F. Theme it to Hobb's truck from the films, have it be simulating the feeling of traversing through narrow San Francisco streets with simulated speed, wind-tunnels, and vehicles alongside you; and that could be a genuine win. They don't even need to gut the queue, just the main load/unload, and all the ride scenes.

Something this this, feels incredibly natural for the Scoop.
Retheme Transformers to F&F and kill two birds with one stone?
Yes, the way that a scoop can rear back and pitch forward simulates acceleration and braking and the other motions are perfect for "drifting". The story could be as easy as trying to transport someone or something to the good guys but the villains find out and begin chasing you. The chases could go through buildings and involve near misses, explosions, and being spun out by being hit from behind. The physical sets would be easy enough and screen use limited to character interactions or explosions. The new Jurassic Park ride in Beijing provides a great template for this. See if you can submit this to Universal Creative. I'm sure that they won't mind and will undoubtedly take it to heart.
Nobody yell at me, but I wouldn't hate a more intense version of Mario Kart just without the interactive elements
I feel like a lot of those simulated speed effects were cut because they caused motion sickness
However, with a more intense version you could simulate speed while working in more practical effects while at the same time using screen tunnels
My chosen mode of transportation would be the Power Coaster, essentially a giant slot car concept (think Test Track without the outdoor section and with simulated speed/practical special effects
TBH they really don't have to show the main cast they could simply just use sound bites from the current ride film
As well the pre-shows could be cut and The Rock's segment at the beginning of the ride could be used as the new pre-show
I imagine some of the queue space could possibly be incorporated into the ride part as well, since there is that outdoor section that's basically just empty space
IDK thinking out loud honestly
Really? I think it's one of the easiest. Do you know how many people would be happy with some coaster with light theming called Fast & Furious Supercharged?You know, some IP just don’t translate well to ride experiences IMO. I think F&F is one of those IPs.

Yes please. Just keep the final screen portion and gut the opening scenes. Add giant Godzilla head, feet, and King Ghidora.Godzilla
The Godzilla (USF) vs. Kong (IOA) promo would be insaneTwo rides based on giant monsters using the same ride system seems a bit repetitive, no?
