I know it's a little unfair to judge based on a ride video, but good grief, that whole thing still seems so lame to me.

And it's doubly upsetting because, for all intents and purposes, it's going to be a vastly inferior version of the mega-ride they just opened!

Agreed on all counts. This doesn't even look as good as Transformers. I wonder if there will be an awkward moment where Mario Kart is more Fast & Furious than Fast & Furious.

If only Universal Creative had asked for our opinions first...

Pretty sure they were told "This is what you are going to build now get it done" Oh, well it only has 10 - 15 years til they change it out for something else.

OK, when I first saw the videos on YouTube for this attraction last year, I thought it looked pretty lame. However, when my family and I went to USH (first time) last April, it was much better in person then on the video. It felt pretty realistic like you were there driving along with them all. The only corny part I thought was when Vin Diesel was hanging from the helicopter. Also, when we pulled up to the building during the tram ride (the entire tour was easily my fav attraction during our visit there) the building looked like this. Wondering if this is what they are going for at USF as well?

I really hope not! Although at least the outside would match what's on the inside....

Well, however small, there's a sliver of hope.

How's the CGI in person? It doesn't look so good on the video but of course that's video.

Any idea how much the big D gets from the Chevy sponsorship of Test Track?

...any bets on what manufacturer is involved with this glorified auto showroom? I wouldn't think Chrysler Fiat has the money to spend. With the queue being so large, I just can't see UO making a walkthrough commercial without some kind of sponsorship.

Would Universal actually do a Disney-style sponsorship of an attraction? I could never envision Test Track's post-ride car dealership anywhere in Universal.

That being said, I could see Fiat Chrysler spending money on this. They have a huge bias towards movie-oriented deals - far more than Ford or GM at least. They had sponsorship deals for FF7, Batman vs Superman, and The Force Awakens (weird...).

My guess on a attraction sponsorship....Since the ride looks so slow,I'm looking at "Turtle Wax" jumping into the fray to sponsor the attraction.

Surely it has to be Corona?

UC is working despite us...as we really have nothing new or positive to say

Anyone know what the apx. budget for this is?

 

[Joel]

If I had to guess..

Too much for what we're getting, not enough for something cool.

Well, there's still Nintendo...

It's not bad. It was very vibrant and sharp. Not 100% realistic but you're caught up in the action which distracts you from it. Everyone pulled away from that part clapping and seemed to enjoy it.

That seems to be F&F's slogan..

I've always said the GP will love this ride. It's not going to do anything for us, which stinks. But nothing we can do about that.

For comparison to the Hollywood version. I don't know if the maps are the same dimensions so I included a measurement. If I recall correctly, the Hollywood version has 2 truck rising scenes

Just bend hollywood in a big circle.
