Fast & Furious: Supercharged - General Discussion

[Mad Dog]

Even being a reskin, I'm sure there are some curveballs they could throw in here.

Instead of the musion effect- maybe some AAs of Doc/Marty?

'IF' they would do a complete change refurb with BTTF. I think using a live actor Doc for the preshow would give the attraction
extra credibility, even though it's not the real Doc. from the movies. Just like the excellent Grinches in the M&G and Grinchmas
give the show and M&G credibility even though the actors aren't really Jim Carey.
The more I think of this the more I think it could work.

As great an idea as a live Doc impersonator for a ride pre-show is, they won’t do it. Casting that many Docs (they’d have to go from 3 to 12 at a minimum) is too difficult, especially when the pre-show folks are not part of Entertainment—they’re part of rides.

I say this to emphasize that people should not get their hopes up for the idea, practically.

Good point, that's a lot. But they basically did something similar with Disaster (ironically the same piece of land) when they had that stage pre show.

They’d have to make it an entertainment position and cast it through that process. You almost certainly wouldn’t have enough adequate Docs to fill a reliable roster, though. The result would be a preshow with many obviously subpar Doc Brown performers.

If he appears, it’ll be a combination of VO or maybe a CGI recreation achieved in a similar manner to the trio’s appearance on Gringotts - CGI, from a distance, and brief.

I've heard Godzilla come up in conversation several times for IPs wanted for USF... But a part of me thinks FNAF could be interesting to put into the Supercharged space...

Godzilla? FNAF? First I've heard anyone mention either as more than just straight wish listing. I'd LOVE a Godzilla attraction. But I don't think either fits the Supercharged ride system at all. Maybe Godzilla if they mimic Skull Island and rely more heavily on pre-shows and atmospheric anticipation before the ride portion, but I think without a decent sized animatronic ala Kong, that just feels like wasted potential.

I'm perfectly fine with a CGI Doc/Marty for a preshow. Once the ride starts and gets to the musion scene, having a physical Delorean and Marty/Doc AA would suffice I think!

This and one or two more physical scenes (a la Reign of Kong) would make this attraction that much more pleasant. I’m all for a BTTF overlay, but not if it means a 1:1 swap. Learn their lessons, apply new technology, and make this a great experience even though the “ride” portion is lacking.

In terms of what they can do to "plus" the ride experience:

• I don't believe there is space available for them to install an animatronic figure where Kong would be. Unless they modify it significantly, I don't see them putting on at the unload corner.
• Practical elements inside the 360 scene (show pieces on kuka arms on both sides to simulate a race/chase, with Biff on one side and Marty on the other? Based on Ministry/Unchained, they love putting practical elements on a Kuka in front of a screen)
• They can slow/stop the vehicle in the existing city alley scene with additional animatronics and practical effects?

I do think you can make a decent attraction out of the existing ride system... just needs to go heavy on the practical side.

You seem to know a bit more about the space - do you think it'd be possible to do a physical Delorean and AAs where the current musion scene is?
