I've been doing a lot of comparisons between the Hollywood version and this one. I've concluded that the Orlando version is better because you actually have the option not to ride it.
Give them free food & free rooms at Portofino, and they're happy and will say nice things. Not counting the free flight, promo fees, etc.I watched it. Lot's of gushing. Gawd celebrities are weird birds.

Why is he comparing this to the Gasolina dancing cars and Lights, Motors, Action? Is he dense? The obvious comparison to a physical ride would be something like Test Track, Radiator Springs Racers, or even the Backlot Stunt Coaster. Sounds like he's equally as devoid of ideas as for this property and the space as Universal Creative was.
Also, has anyone been able to figure out why the height requirement for this is 40" when Kong is 36" and the Studio Tour in Hollywood has none?
This is the best news I've seen yet about this ride. Universal is taking this seriously. Best way to make sure it doesn't happen again.I have a friend inside the Universal marketing department and this really is a sh*tstorm behind the close doors. Trying to analysis the reaction to this attraction.
Ouch. Once again another scathing review.Why is Fast & Furious: Supercharged A Dumpster Fire? - Theme Park University
What a great article. Nails it on the head.

Probably because of the complete lack of need for a 'party scene' with women wearing barely any clothing....
You know because that's such an important part of the story they needed to include :thud:
That just reminded me of the preview commercial that Universal did with the mother father and the two kids going to the ride.That doesn’t scream family to you?

Good comments. And it seems to sum up what we're hearing from the more 'credible' reviewers....Of course, haven't seen it yet, but one constant troubling aspect is 'bad writing'. We're seeing that issue too often at Universal, between various shows & attractions. That seems like it's a problem that should be solved at minimal expense. Is it just a few writers involved, or is it a bigger problem involving more layers at UC.Which is funny because I think that article is the actual burning trash bin featured on the top of the article. It's a useless article that doesn't actually say anything and tries to play the click bait/Betteridge's Law trope. It's why I like Seth's article and can't stand TPU's output recently. Seriously, "same ride system" arguments just don't hold up in application.
Want to talk about the actual issues and not dance around them saying nothing? Here we go:
I believe there is a way to do a mixed media F&F ride with a large ride vehicle that can't move quickly. But it requires a creative team that wants to rebuild the 360* around a new narrative and not just copy/paste work already done.
- Writing is atrocious.
- Plot is nowhere till you board the ride, nothing in the queue lines up with the ride.
- A fundamental misunderstanding of what makes the movies fun, interesting, and engaging to the audience
- Terrible animation and direction of the 360* scene.
Open up Websters and under "polishing a turd" will be F&FS. The amount of money spent on the scenic design alone is staggering and totally baffling based on what it is built up around.
