Fast & Furious: Supercharged - General Discussion

[Mad Dog]

I was just asking a question. I'm as clueless as any other regular member.

Same here. The only positive is that signs are kind of pointing to some changes in the non 360 portion of the attraction. Whether they are good or negative remains to be seen.Though it would be tough for any changes to be worst than those pre 360 scenes......One other point I'd like to make. Some who have seen the Hollywood 360 version talked about various issues with the projection. Robert Niles of TPI, in his review on IOA's Kong's 360 scene, said that Orlando's Kong 360 was a considerable upgrade over Hollywood's 360 Kong scene. So I'm hoping Universal did the same with F&F and upgraded the 360 scene for Orlando, and corrected the Hollywood 360 scene issues.

I was talking about a possible project for 2019...

Their A team is clearly focused solely on Nintendo.

It's a shame. This is the B team's chance to shine with something great.

Whooops. Sorry about that (as Maxwell Smart used to say).

Or find someone on the B team whose favorite films are the F&F films to design something

no offense to those who like the movies.. but if I were in charge, everyone who does like these movies would be on the B team anyways. stupid movies

Stupid maybe but they have a big fan base and they make money. I'm still amazed that Fast7 is the 6th biggest box office gross.

The reason why they are popular is the exact opposite of why they should do the ride they are doing. F&F is 90% actual stunts and practicals and 10% CGI, for the last film they actually dropped cars out of air planes and had them parachute down for the scene. Its over the top crazy stupid fun with a strong focus on teamwork and family. A real fan who worked on that would have gotten that essence and would potentially understand where to make the ride better.

I didn't know that, I figured it was all CGI. maybe I'll watch some more and review my opinion

I still think Paul Walker's death was a big reason people went to see 7 and why I don't think 8 will even come close to those numbers.

This song also helped to get butts in seats too... was the biggest hit of 2015:

I will buy that argument for domestic gross but Paul Walker is no international star and doesn't explain why it did mega bucks overseas. It made twice that overseas than what it made stateside.

 

[quinnmac000]

sorry for double post but this is also why this is a thing and they need to revamp the ride

that's crazy.. didn't another movie trailer just come out and beat the worldwide record too?

EDIT: just found this:

They're stupid fun...and have, arguably, likable characters..I've never walked out of one and not felt satisfied getting what I thought I'd get...

The ride on the other hand, that may disappoint some folks

 

[Bulldog45]

Any updates on the exterior? Has the ride building been fully enclosed?

Almost there.

 

[epcyclopedia]

Interesting choice of what parts of the old building were kept..

That's essentially the ops offices and entertainment greenroom for Disaster/Earthquake.

 

[Nick]

The main entrance to this ride is going to be where the entrance to BeetleJuice was, right?

 

[Teebin]

^ Correct.
