I think it's a certainty that's what's going to be done. Any ride that has been on the Hollywood Tram Tour has always had a bigger and better Orlando counterpart. The original Kong, Earthquake, Jaws, the new Kong and I'm sure F&F will follow the rest. We can thank the original Kong for the way Universal Orlando is today.
Also, if they wanted to copy what's in Hollywood, there would have been way more than enough room in the loading and unloading bay of Disaster, the fact that they're using the whole area plus removed Beetlejuice tells us that this is going to be a big ride.

Speculation: the attraction was redesigned late in the timeline and is slated now for late 2017. Might slip to 2018?

Spot on.
I think it would benefit Universal as well to have a have a new ride in 2017 and then another new ride in 2018.

I'm actually completely okay with this and hopefully it's because the increase in physical sets and track takes longer to build.
Who is speculating this? And when one says it was redesigned "late in the timeline" was it specified when this redesign supposedly happened?
I would surmise this speculation is being made due to HTF's comment. And since HTF has had an excellent track record, like Teebin, readers will trust that comment, as I have.

HTF's traditional short comments have a history of portending major happenings. It's not always necessary to use a lot of words to convey a dynamic action.That's a lot to deduce from HTF's three word comment.

I am speculating based on no insider information. Just wanted to throw it out there.
OH! Mercy, have I raised a ruckus because of your "insider" info. :saywhat:

No, I just took a guess based on the fact nothing has really been touched in comparison to Twister.
Gringotts style coaster, with a 55mph launch, tilting ride track with screen to simulate you're on the edge of the Golden Gate Building. Spinning coaster car, with screens around you as Vin Diesel does cool stuff. These are my risen expectations.
I would lower expectations a bit.
Even as I do think F&F will be extremely different than Hollywoods, theres going to have to be similarities between it. That's all that can really be done, but with the addition of more actors (hoping Jason gets in too) and a longer 360 scene, with practical effects in there; it could be a good experience.
Silly, hell yes. But as of right now; its very much a slow season for any info on Fast and Furious..atleast until we start seeing signs of demolition of-course.
Much of it has already been demolished. I guess you are waiting for the buildings to come down? Otherwise, I yapped about what you can expect the attraction to be months ago. That's about it. The queue concept art remains true. I don't care for similar attractions opening in neighboring parks, but hey, it is what it is - what it is - what it is.
Go chat about nintendo. That won't be similar to anything I have heard of. Sorta.
