I just hope this thing is good.
This is their 3rd & final chance to do a decent F&F ride and I'm hoping for something thrilling in the vein of Velocicoaster/Mummy

Hope it has onboard audio like Hagrids, Hulk, and rip ride instead of the awkward silence on Velocicoaster. Either way, this coaster will be miles better than the horrible tram and bus versions found on both coasts.
Finally got in touch with someone over this rumor. There are apparently several proposals for this addition ranging from budget-friendly, to blue sky, to somewhere in between. A matter of how Universal wants to go about the future of the park.
Will also mention the layout appears to be set in most versions except for one or two, with the one being significantly shorter, but that most have its layout as pretty beefy.

So like, waiting to see if the Fat Plumber doesn't become a Hogsmeade 2.0?
Given the three Characters shops, plus whatever CityWalk gets, they are seemingly aiming for a merchandizing takeover of how much they can stuff. Hopefully things don't go as a repeat.
Hopefully not budget friendly. Every F&F addition has been budget friendly and look how it turned out on both coasts.
I hope F&F gets something a bit more elaborate than just a naked coaster. I want a ride where I can sit in on of the cars from the movies (like the DeLorean from BttF) and a road to ride on (simulated), stunts and near crashes.
Universal has been investing a lot lately. JW, SLOP and Super Nintendo are significant. Hopefully they continue this trend with this ride.
While I do hope they is at least some scenic along the coaster track, the park needs a good high thrill coaster. If they focus on that while having a decent queue and station, I’m happy.
I like the idea of a thrill coaster here, just as long as it isn't completely bare bones.
I'm not necessarily asking for Gringotts or Mummy here, fully indoors, but something like Velocicoaster, with a highly themed queue and trains, with a basic story and a few jokes in the pre show before a crazy fun launch coaster

I don't consider this a major investment and I opened the ride in 2019. As a Jurassic fan, it was half-hearted & lazy (like the new trilogy), with most of the money dumped into screenzzz & the I-Rex that will function every so often.
The F&F films declined severely after Paul Walker passed. I'm cringing at the thought of the queue video for this new coaster. I'm hoping for a great quality new ride addition, but the franchise track record doesn't set the bar very high

Isn’t SLOP consider a FLOP by UC because of complaints from riders re-space in vehicles and poor capacity? Also JW took 2 tries.
Not trying to be negative, but I could see them cutting back if what I believe to be true, is true…
Wouldn't Pets also be something that can be applied to Yoshi? Both have the same restraint system, last I checked.

BOOM! That's some detective work right there! Nice job man!
So the question I have is this: Will AA be torn down as well or just SES?

It's insane how this permit actually confirms previous rumors about the track layout. Like they put stuff in there that they probably didn't have to. Gotta love it
