Was still in the car warehouse today when I rode. Same place it usually is.
On slower days, or at the end of the day, they may skip the first few rooms straight to the end, but they still use the original merge point every time I ride.
F&F ride should’ve never happened... At least not at that scale. How long do we have to wait for the massive redo?
Well considering that universal never did anything to fix the rides many people dislike I’m assuming it won’t happen. At least Disney listens to the feedback. Remember when Disney changed journey to imagination to journey into your imagination and completely removed figment. That lasted a whole 2 years before they revamped it to add figment back lmao. Maybe universal will try to make it up with new attractions
Maybe they need to add Figment to F&F in two years?

"Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz". That doesn't look much better.
Heck, I'd take Universal Orlando's F&F over that plain unthemed coaster. It's got cars for trains....and....that's about it.
It's the worst Express Line experience in the parks. That was another thing I didn't like. Thanks for the reminder.
So the first time I do it should I skip the express pass line?
Generally it doesn't matter much since they merge the lines so early (Stand By, Virtual Line, Express), unless it's a long stand by line. If it's a long stand by line, Express will get you on the ride a bit quicker. If there's a short stand by line, you'll get there about the same time with Express, maybe a couple of minutes quicker. The only way you get on the ride fast with Express is if there's hardly anyone in line.
It looked like, "Trim Brake: The Ride". However, as Shiekra stated, set that indoors, more compact in terms of layout, and it would start to be something awesome. However, one could then argue that the HP Coaster is a repeat, although I think that would be a stretch.
Oh well. Doesn't do much good to gripe about a ride that they aren't going to change at this point.

I am 100% convinced this needs to become a Godzilla ride. The ride belongs in San Fran, one, and two, the ride system could actually be reused with a story similar to the original Kongfrontation.
The Queue becomes an evacuation center out of the city, via bus, with the pre-show becoming the appropriate safety spiel (that keeps getting interrupted with breaking news). Effects are added to make the room "shake" at intervals. We load the bus. The practical alley is now destroyed with one of the kaiju in the distance. We take a detour through a make-shift military base in a warehouse, and get a musion scene with updates and see an escort vehicle on the riser. Now, the biggest effect change occurs, when the practical ceiling of the musion scene collapses, revealing a forced-perspective Godzilla animatronic looming over you. We now speed into the 360 room and witness the battle between Godzilla and a kaiju. The battle ends with a flash of blinding light as Godzilla unleashes his atomic breath and we arrive in the safe zone (a new practical scene where, in the distance, we see Godzilla sink back into the ocean).
If they're SMART, they add a random aspect to it, where each story features Godzilla battling a different kaiju. That kaiju is first seen in the practical city before the musion and there is a uniquely choreographed fight/ride program for each.

I'm sorry, but this is far too good an idea. And when I ride F&F now I will only ever imagine this.

I'm looking for a post-military career, @Universal. Check out this reference!
