I haven't been on this ride yet... From what i can see in youtube videos, this ride can be saved. I don't know how they would advertise it to save face though.
I think it would be cool if they made the queue into a show. The queue would be the exterior portion where the plants and picnic table are at.
The story could be that the fast and furious family is having a car show for the locals with the same vibes that were in the first movie in the race scenes. Just a small amount of people will enter to see their new cars at a time. This would be in the large room that has all the cars in display. When the place is surrounded by Shaw's men. There are gun shots from the outside, the windows break, small firecracker effects to give the impression of the bullets ricocheting off the walls. To get away from the gun fire we are directed into the next room with the truck. Shaw turns off the power. We stand in dark.
Universal could do a small stunt show now with actors and a car racing in. We have actors pretending to be Vin Diesel and the others. We can't see who they are because its dark, sort of like Terminator but shorter and not as grand.
In the last preshow room we have a screen effect of Vin Diesel assuring us that he will get us out of there and that the FBI is waiting for us at some random point. The problem is just getting us there. Ludacris asks how we are going get the people out. Dom's sister remembers the run down tour bus they have parked in the alleyway or garage. One of the TM's can act as this tech wiz that thinks he can somehow make the old monitors on the bus work so that they can talk to us.
We are directed into the bus. It does not have any light effects because it is not a stupid party bus. The bus is painted to look old. When we move out, with sound and fog they make that first car already there seem like it just drove up to us. It is Shaw. Maybe an animatronic on Shaw. More fake gun fire. We quickly turn into what used to be the party scene and there is Shaw and his men ready for us. Shaw sits on top of the his truck and he promises that Dom will pay by seeing us all dead. Somehow Dom intravenes and we are off.
We enter the 360 scene which is 3d and the action does not need to be changed. . We jump at the end and we end up into the last room that is filled with actual cop cars with cop lights. We have reached our safety point. There is an animatronic of Vin diesel (not kong size) letting us know that we have made it.
This way they would just have to change the party scene and work on the queue area. The actual ride would not have to change. I could really get into something like this since it is too late to have a fast ride.
