Man they are setting themselves up for dissapointment with that description. "Incredible ride technology and high speed cars" is going to be taken literal by a lot of people.

That is fine with me. It will be like Disaster, a once in a long while ride that eats other people not affecting my park experience one bit.Yeah, the big problem I'm seeing with this one, in comparison to something like Fallon, is that this is supposed to be a big deal for Universal and their marketing of the ride is going to piss a lot of people off. Selling one thing and delivering another. Not a good look on the heels of the Volcano Bay fiasco.
I'll bet money that by this time next year the big complaint will be that it's just like Kong and doesn't even go fast. Just wait.
Heard a rumor that you will board a virtual bus instead of standing in a queue, and the bus will transport you to ride Test Track in Epcot, thus fulfilling their high speed cars promise.Man they are setting themselves up for dissapointment with that description.

It's going to be very bad PR for them for sure...A good amount of people are already convinced this is a coaster...Universal's words have confirmed that in people's heads...Yep. Unless something dramatic has changed, they are massively overselling it with just those few phrases.
So I guess that the way the virtual queue works is that suddenly there will be a call for us to board our bus.
If Nintendo has good rides, word will spread fast.I could potentially see Nintendo under-preforming because of the amalgamation of VB blunders, Kong, and Supercharged...I certainly hope that dosen't happen, but they aren't making it easy on themselves by hyping and debuting a ride like Supercharged
Lol, haven't seen any of the movies (not my cup of tea), but am aware of the stink pickle thing as I heard it referenced here before. However, I'm thinking, if the story is that we are just bystanders on a bus caught in the middle of it all, then would it not make more sense to use that for the queue? Or perhaps the queue will be in two parts, the first part with the cars is where you are are held first, then you get your bus ticket and move to the second queue where you are waiting to be called to board your bus?"MOVE TO THE NEXT ROOM, STINK PICKLE!"
I think Supercharged was always intended to utilize a Virtual Line. The concept art I posted above was released around the same time as Fallon's; well over a year ago, and does not show any queue (if you look close.)So, I wonder how they are adjusting those sections of the building that were previously earmarked for queue lines. It will be interesting to see how that may alter or add to the attraction.
Yes, I'm aware of that showroom area. Teeben speculated that early. But I'm referring to the all of those adjacent areas along the side of the buildings whose early drawings had queues running through them.I think Supercharged was always intended to utilize a Virtual Line.
