Fast & Furious: Supercharged - General Discussion

[TIMtationX]

Change that screeching car to a shadow of a giant bus and it's an A+ teaser.

 

[DK745]

Boy, talk about false advertising. It's one thing to make dramatic innuendo, but this isn't even close to a representation. If it's going to be a middlin to weak attraction, better not to send expectations into the stratosphere. It'll just make it worse.

I can't believe Universal would advertise something that wildly unrealistic. It's not like them.

 

[OLSinFLA]

Well, at least it WAS a boat, the shark DID chomp on it (in the original ride) and there was fire. There's a difference between exaggerating and being outright deceptive.

 

[Blaw923]

Yeah, i don't have a problem with that Jaws poster at all haha

Exactly. That USH trailer actually had people looking happy on it

Marketing’s attempt to make a silk purse out of a sow‘s ear.

Well the ride will have a video of a car screeching tires and revving it's engine, so the video is more accurate than the Jaws pic.

The difference is any reasonable person knows a shark eating a boat is an exaggeration. A car going fast isn't. The ads for this ride are puffery.

And the Jaws ad isn’t?

Before I went on Jaws (as a kid), I was terrified. TERR. I. FIED. I thought Jaws would be the size of a semi-truck with a mouth big enough to swallow me whole. Because that’s exactly what that image presents.

Turns out he was a fraction of the advertised size.

I can get being perturbed by the F&F advertising, but let’s not start saying themepark advertising in the past was accurate. Remember the Earthquake snippet with guests running through the disaster as it happened?

Remember when Universal said the mummies were gonna jump on your ride vehicle?

 

[IAmFloridaBorn]

What could be worse than HRRR’s queue?

Woodywoodpecker Coaster

The customer service line
The Mummy's queue because someone always farts:curse:
OR
The Mummy's queue because of the terrible lighting transition when walking in w/o shades

Sinbad's queue. Ever tried that? You're just standing there lol

I'm glad I'm not the only person who remembers that.

New teaser video!



Wow... so much packed into that one, huh? Whew!

Great that Alicia Stella's YouTube USF appeared to left of this USH F&F teaser (to the right I have random planes taking off / landing);

A lot of guests do cry false for how USH advertises their Studio Tour additions as new standalone rides. I hope we don't fall into the same trap.

There’s a legit difference though. Hollywood advertises additions to an already existing ride as a wholly new, independent ride. Orlando doesn’t have that sort of chicanery going on. F&F is an independent attraction here. It has speeding cars. I mean, that’s what they’re advertising.

It’s not like they’re calling an effects display where you stand the whole time “Ride It Out.” THAT’S deceptive.

See, a lot of people came off of that saying the same thing, but I always got the storm-related play on words. The GP though...

Oh, I get it too. But to put “Ride” in the title of an attraction that is not a Ride is too clever for your own good.

I still really want to know this track layout.

Is there any chance its anything but an oval??

 

[Alicia]

Yea. Could be a straight line. And the other half of the “oval” is just the car returning to load after we get out.

It's a rounded edged rectangle
