Since reviews for F&F Supercharged are starting to trickle in and don't sound positive just how much more will the Orlando version be improved? Are they still going to want to reuse any of the footage for Hollywood or start from scratch? I know when I watched one of the making of videos produced for the attraction and looked at the actors in green screen mockups of the vehicles I started thinking that the attraction might consist of "cars" pulling up to the tram with the actors placed inside the vehicle using musion tech. That way we get more physical set pieces and a better blend of physical and screens. Could something like this still be in the cards for us?

I sure hope we get a better thought out attraction. The Hollywood version doesn't impress me at all.

I'd like to see the Orlando version get 6 passenger SCOOP/Evac-esque vehicles from Oceaneering. Maybe they could be dispatched 3 at a time to help with capacity. Could something like the projector dome carousel from Forbidden Journey be modified for something like this? I'm thinking an attraction built around larger show elements, like I mentioned in my previous post, transition using the carousels to race off to the next large show scene could get the job done.

My thoughts on this are... if they're going to be making this attraction, they shot all the actors individually on green screens. They could easily create a spiderman/test track esque type of attraction using live set pieces and screens, incorporating the footage shot on the green screens and make a longer more thrilling ride out of it all instead of the one minute long cluster that is the Hollywood ride. House it in Disaster and do the pre show musion effects where the Christopher Walken bit is and then just exit into the alley or something to board the cars.

I thought it was always known that Orlando would get the better ride..

Cars on Kuka's...that's what I'm hoping for

I think the negative reviews are a direct result of audiences screen-based fatigue.

I call BS, mainly because most of the reviews have less to do with the screen itself and more to do with the overall quality of the ride and the film created. Not to knock more physical sets, and I absolutely understand that opinion but that doesn't seem to be the root of the problem here.

Not that we needed more confirmation, but Michelle Rodriguez confirmed F&F was coming to Orlando and Beijing today on the red carpet for Supercharged

It's not going to be the exact same thing.

But anyone expecting no screens is setting themselves up for disappointment with any Universal ride

Yeah, and I would take Marni's revelation to mean different as in ride vehicle(s) and presentation of similar projections, just not the multiple bays for the trams ect... It could be presented so fast and tight, that way so that you see girls dancing in one bay while you glide by at a moderate clip. The end could be flying over the overpass and then as you hit the ground, continuing test track style in a high speed outdoor or indoor thriller...

But that is just me musing... I don't [yet] know anything about the Orlando version.

From Theme Park Insider-

Kong looks realistic because we're watching characters we know only as CGI creations, fighting in a dimly lit jungle setting. But a CGI version of the familiar real-life stars and cars of Fast & Furious, in bright daylight, takes us a step toward video game territory, visually. A darker, nighttime setting might have hidden some of CGI's limitations in creating more convincingly realistic imagery.

The garage scene can be the last part of the queue and the party scene can be the preshow. There's no reason they need to be seen from your ride vehicle. It could be a sort of faster paced Mummy.

TPI just posted the F&F grand opening video. A pretty cool ceremony with the stars, an FBI raid, and a car cras,hing through the movie billboard.

Okay, bare with me. After listening to the latest OU podcast, I wanted to do some blue sky-ing on this project. For starters, here is the Supercharged building color-coded.
F&F.png
When considering porting this over to USF, it's clear that the musion scene and garage scene (not taking into account story/structure changes) would be the queue, allowing for significantly shrinking the area they take up, as they won't have to be elongated to house the long USH trams. The main "ride" portion would also not need to be nearly as big.

Still, let's assume whatever the dark ride portion is, it's about the same size as the current, main Supercharged building. Then let's assume Beetlejuice and Disaster both get demo'ed for F&F. Putting the Supercharged building on a portion of that gives us the image below. That is on the same scale, too, FWIW.
F&F2.png

Now let's assume the old area where Beetlejuice was becomes the queue/preshow areas.

There is still a LOT of open space there. Plenty to be used for an outdoor race portion, IMO.

My blue sky idea: The green Supercharged building is used to make a dark ride segment using sets and feature over the top action. At the end, two cars meet for a "celebration race" which will take place outdoors through sets designed to look like city streets.

Sure, it's basically a copy of RSRs, but I think it's the best possible way to get a great attraction out of this.

Not sure the practicality of it, but it could be cool to have it come out over the walkway then over the lagoon. (Overlaying RSR just to visualize possibilities) Obviously Lombard's would have to be removed. That portion could even be themed to an iconic bridge (ex: bixby or LA river)

So, I just used one of those google acreage tools and came up with 3.2 acres for the entire beetle juice san fran area. Is that consistent with other findings?

So, more theories from me posted over on Parkscope:

Parkscope: Fast and Furious Orlando: A (Possibly) Crazy Guess as to What's Coming

If you're TL;DR, the creative director for Project 620 (believed to be F&F) was also the director of Ride and Show for the Moscow project, which included a Fast and Furious racing attraction. That's my bet on what we're getting, or at the very least something similar.

It's sad to not hear good reviews on this.
