I guess after this Summer, we could see some drastic changes come to the ride. Maybe they'll add those practical effects we hoped for.
I agree...but I think people are a little underwhelmed with the entire concept. Originally, people thought it would be a full ride, in that two show rooms each have 90 sec of footage. It was supposed to raise the bar, change things up. Even if the footage gets better...I don't think people will ever see this as anything more than a "second" Kong on the tour.There IS one positive in this situation. If it's really that nad, and the reviews are going go be constantly negative from a big portion of the public (has to be overall negative, can't be just us fanboys), then at least it will technically be easy to redo, rerender, and refilm the final room. That's the benefit of it being all CGI, it's not like Forbidden Journey where everything is built, it's literally just a box and simulator platform.
So...while it may be expensive, if they DID want to redo it, they can actually keep the ride open, and simultaneously start reshooting and creating a slightly different and better looking/acted concept for the final room, and then once that's finished and tested off site, they can close Supercharged for a few weeks for "refurbishment" to implement the new film, and have that switchover.
Yeah but that's a majority of attendance...^ besides uninformed public who only listen to the TV spots and radio ads, no theme park fan should've come into this thinking it's a "full ride" though...
I would be very unhappy as well if someone invited me to a party like that . So far the attraction itself is getting bad reviews and Its just gonna get worst .It seems clear to me that they leaned far too heavily on the actors. I guess I can't blame universal, I'm sure they were expensive. But you can tell they paid these people so they wanted to throw them in your face as much as possible. And the whole thing is just so uncomfortable. They shouldn't have leaned so heavily on these actors.
Even the dance club just looks soooooo sterile. The dancers just looks silly, out of place. I'd be real unhappy if someone invited me to that party.
I really wanted to see Universal develop a new ride that Orlando won't get for a few years. Yeah they'll knock it out of the park with Potter, but its been built in two other locations already (with Orlando being 6 years ago!). IMO, this ride was Hollywood's shot at making a big ride that they could celebrate for a few years. Missed opportunity...but I can truly comment on the quality after Saturday.I feel the fact they are hyping supercharged as a "new ride" is only going to hurt them.
I am really starting to get scared between the night-time tours and supercharged getting bad early reviews.
I feel on both fronts they over promoted and set expectations way WAY too high....
But, I am trying to hold my opinion until I see both in person, but to be fair I am no longer looking forward to them now... (I kinda feel I pushed my friends into going to a "bad" event, sad face....)
Its really disappointing as I feel they really knocked Springfield out of the park with the quality.
Guess we still have Potter, they can't screw that up! Right? .....sigh.
