And opening the attraction didn't change the fact that aside from the queue, the attraction is the worst in the park by far.
It’s not Fallon’s humor for why I like the queue. But the Ragtime Gals and a place to sit and charge phones while waiting is a pleasant experience.I was expecting it to be simply awful. However, I actually quite enjoyed it, found i quite fun.
For me it was the queue that was terrible. Seriously, Fallon is just not at all funny.

Today is the first day of Spring. Summer doesn't *technically* start until June 21st.What really bothers me is that the ride is supposed to open in Spring of this year in Orlando, yet two more months and it's officially Summer. Why is Universal trying to delay the ride's opening date?
its kinda funny how we wait and wait for a new ride to open then after a year we just hit it likes its an old ride.

I doubt that has anything to do with F&F. TM previews and soft haven't been held yetPark hours are extended to 10pm beginning March 24th for both IOA and USF. I know spring crowds have been bigger than ever but is a 10pm closing at both parks this early in the year pretty standard? Could there be any correlation between the operating hours and the "original" opening date for Fast? Either way, I remember the days when IOA used to close well before sundown even on busy days. Times sure have changed.
Maybe he knows something we don't. For example the new ride system that uses party buses is actually a clever ruse to trick the guests at load. After you make the first turn, you find out Shaw (or some random villain) is chasing down Toretto and we need to save him. Letty, is our guide. "Hold on! You didn't think we'd bring you along on slow buses did you?" The bus detaches into two separate ride vehicles and the party bus chassis folds down and out giving guests a fuller view of the ride experience. We slam on the gas and race side by side through the 360 tunnel with projections of explosions and falling debris. We're out of the 360 tunnel in seconds and come to a stop at a fully realized set of famous San Francisco landmark, Lombard Street, with it's steep winding road. We hit the gas and get to experience the ride system utilize the thrilling drifting technology that took Creative so long to perfect. At the end of Lombard Street, we see Shaw and Toretto make a sharp turn into high-rise parking structure. Still in pursuit, we weave our way up the levels to the 10th floor. A huge showdown occurs as our vehicle locks into place on a pivoting piece of track for the finale right in front of Shaw's car. Shaw slams on the gas and drives full speed into our vehicle pushing us off the edge of the parking garage. We dangle for a moment and then free-fall to the ground where we are saved at the last second by a remote activated winch. This clever effect is a nod to the many virtual free-fall finales in the park. This time, guests will experience a non-simulated free fall. We meet up with our partner ride vehicle who went on a slightly different adventure. The sleek cars hitch together and the sides fold back up to form the boring party bus we started our adventure on. Clapping, exit to the left.Someone proudly posted their Universal Creative project 620 jacket on twitter today. It also had the Family Forever logo. I stared at the picture thinking, “you’re admitting it?”.
Doubt it. Park hours in May for IOA had been extended to a 10:00 closing most nights. In all the years I've vacationed in May, the latest I've ever seen before was 7:00 & 8:00 for IOA. Conversely Studio's park is closing at 8:00 PM or earlier most nights in May. F&F is in the Studios park. My guess is that the IOA late hours is so they can run the FJ night show. ....So, nothing to do with F&F.Park hours are extended to 10pm beginning March 24th for both IOA and USF.

I'd imagine the new Studios hour situation in non peak periods will change once the new lagoon show is ready to roll.That stinks that US closes earlier it seems, I much prefer US to IOA, but interesting. Great thing they are expanding hours. I remember the days when all the parks would close at 5-6 during the off season. Though crowds were much lower, you really were limited on time and often you had evenings where you had little to do, especially if it wasn't hot enough to swim.
