Exactly!!! It has 3 preshow rooms aswell, they could really make this into a long immersive experience with possibly some interactive elements. I'm totally down for this

Yes I think it'll come but in a complete ride form like they did with Jaws and are going to do with Kong. Universal is a smart business and I'm sure they want to reuse the assets.
I think the ride will put you in really cool cars (like the movies) and has some real life action like fast transitions between screens that will take care of the stunts. Because of that the footprint will be big.
For me, I would love that ride but wouldn't care about the franchise. There is only 1 "car" movie I would watch multiple times and that is The Cannonball Run, so much goofiness.

I thought it would be fun if cars were attached to Kuka arms (Like on the tram tour)..but we were riding the cars
Also, the attraction could expand into the Disaster queue space/add a floor to become bigger...and it would all still be counted as a building refurb for construction purposes..

Yeah that would be sick, possibly kuka arm cars could combine with the screen to add to some effects? This could be one tank of a attraction
Something like Test Track would be pretty cool for this kind of ride. I don't think they would do something like Spider-Man again since Transformers just opened up and it would be repetitive. The launch coaster would make more sense if it were a dueling launch coaster. To me, the Test Track idea makes the most sense. There could be indoor action sequences and finally an indoor version of the outside portion of the ride. Is that even possible?
I'd love a huge launched coaster; would be awesome if the could get the world's first B&M dueling launched coaster!
That would be neat..and it's a "family" coaster so that would fit Uni's new model..I wonder if they could plop a coaster down in San Fran using the Disaster building and the backstage areas of the park?
All I'm saying is that if 360 3-D is the basis for a stand alone attraction... then you're going to be disappointed. It's a great add-on to the tram, but really it's nothing to base an E/D ticket on. If you're in the middle of the tram, good luck seeing much of anything. Ghosting has been rather prevalent the numerous times I've been on it.
That's only for kong 360. The video doesn't move that much and if you are in the wrong row you'll be looking at a CGI bush the entire time. This time is a car chase, not only will you be moving the entire time but cars will be driving next to you, it's non stop action and it would work for a 360 ride
So the fix for ghosting is having more images moving at faster speeds?
And I didn't mean the middle car of the tram. I mean if you are in the middle seat at any given section of the tram, it's near impossible to get a good view of anything.
No I meant like the row you get in the tram, like if you are too far in the back all the action is up there away from you, if fast and furious becomes 360 at orlando there would be cars flying around you and zooming by, making it so every row has something cool to look at unlike kong XD

360 3D in Hollywood is basically not a ride. It is a show to break up the segments of the tour, and everyone is already on the tram. So a thought I have is what would be the purpose of boarding a tram that just takes you in and out of the 360 theater?
If they did decide to put some serious money into a transformation, why not turn San Fran into Tokyo? UC can certainly rework the Disaster show building to accommodate many ride system types. I'm thinking F&F ride as trackless vehicles themed to cars with giant 3D projection tunnels (to give the speeding through the city effect) between a few detailed show scenes.
I would be down with Tokyo but that would mean one thing and one thing only would HAVE to be there....gojira :happy: :doggie: :drool: :faint: :died:

Yeah it would. I don't know if half the stuff you are saying is even possible but damn I don't think Disney would be a option for some people if it happened
