Fast & Furious: Supercharged - General Discussion

[Jack Kannenberg]

Can I hear more on this? Pretty please?

I second that!

 

[Mad Dog]

Hey, we all make mistakes right?

They were discovered to be on Disney's payroll. A clear cut case of ThemePark espionage & sabotage.....Actually I believed it was 2 night maint. guys that skipped a few steps on their maint. run through to save time. I believe they were fired pretty quickly.

You know the big 360 scene at the end of Gringotts? You know how there’s a piece of the wall that moves out of the way before you zoom through it? One time early on, the door stayed shut. And the coaster train drove right through it.

 

[Jack Kannenberg]

Could you imagine having to explain that to a supervisor!?

 

[Disneyhead]

That's not a phone call I'd want to make.

 

[AlexanderMBush]

Like after hours techs launching a car into the Kuka arm screen? Haha. That was a good one.

For the love of god, I would be bawling if Orlando has to suffer the wrath of Gasolina.

 

[fryoj]

Considering that it E-stopped to keep that from happening and they over rode the E-stop.. Yeah, I might just leave and never tell anyone and not come back.

Yes, hello, this is um....um....eddie....yeah...eddie, reporting an issue...

Over to you @Teebin

 

[Ryan]

It truly isn't. Come on y'all.

Granted, we can use Gringott's as another thing to point to but a ride that by all indications should've been in tech rehearsals already yet has gone radio silent and there is nary a whiff of an opening date or TM previews? This is screaming the events of Kong to me.

 

[Andysol]

Just got confirmation that it's ready to go, but they keep getting the spinning pinwheel of death.
A couple of hard restarts and a PRAM reset should fix it. Not too long now...

Over to you @Teebin

I already explained the incident in question above, regarding Gringotts.

You know the big 360 scene at the end of Gringotts? You know how there’s a piece of the wall that moves out of the way before you zoom through it? One time early on, the door stayed shut. And the coaster train drove right through it.

I thought this was about the maximum speed test of Test Track at first but they didn’t have that Kuga arm then.

 

[Teebin]

Ah yes, the old “taped coin” trick...

 

[LieutLaww]

I heard the main problem was the giant Vin AA, the head is so shiny it is blinding people who even casually look at it

To clarify, maintenance was doing unauthorized testing of a reduced motion/faster pull back of the screen after hours. They overrode the show software and safety systems and crashed. People got fired. This was the cause of the sudden shutdown in spring 2015 and the missing screen for a few months.

Please.... we all know the Intel based Macs don't have PRAM to reset. (Shout out to my four years being tech help desk for iBook deployment at my high school).

 

[Teebin]

I hear this thing is going to have a rather special setup for its grand opening. It should be evident once the date nears. (whatever that date is...)

Wow. I will cherish this story.

Considering Hollywood had their Supercharged ceremony having cars Jump into and smashing through a freaking billboard, perhaps they may be planning on wrecking cars into the lagoon? xD

 

[Teebin]

I would assume it will be something like Hollywoods. I don’t know about the details at all... just that it will be sizable.
