Fast & Furious: Supercharged - General Discussion

[Galaxy Defender]

Looks like they're going to build the guest facing sides of the building and then that's the last construction we will see.

That makes sense.

 

[Nick]

Isn't it supposed to be a warehouse that we are going into? So it would kind of fit...

That type of justification is what led to Dinorama getting built.

"It's supposed to be a carnival in a parking lot - It fits perfect!"

 

[sjago13]

There is a difference between an exposed show building being more exposed than normal because of the way the path turns coupled with an access road being there and building an unthemed trash dump.

Also if Dinorama was intended to be a carnival in a parking lot theme then they knocked it out of the park. But I am sure I can find more pictures of a warehouse or a parking garage in San Fran than I can of a carnival in the cretaceous period.

 

[Galaxy Defender]

We ignore big show buildings behind facades all the time. Dinorama in AK is just plain annoying period.

 

[NJBrandon]

So a warehouse themed show building is the same as a giant Dino carnival. Got it. You never cease to amaze.

Yeah. It's just a bad concept. It was supposed to portray those garbage roadside stands and it did. The problem is, no one wants to go to an expensive beautiful theme park to see and experience that junk.

They figured out how to justify it. Too bad they didn't figure out so many would not like it regardless of the back story.

 

[Nick]

You never cease to amaze.

The feeling is mutual.

Yeah, I just watched the entire video that was posted regarding AK the other day. Joe Rhode's explanation and hype was total BS. Don't get me wrong, MW has had his own BS moments too. They should just stand back and say, "Tah da, Here it is!".

There's video of him hyping DinoRama or are you talking about GotG?

In this case, it was Dinoland USA... but there have been many others.

Joe is a natural in front of the camera, which is why they use him so often. Of course, he often doesn't believe what he's saying, but he's in the Top 3 Imagineers in terms of salary. He sold his soul a long time ago.

Link?

 

[Galaxy Defender]

Link?

Here is Joe Rohde at the Animal Kingdom 10th anniversary talking at length about the history of the park.

 

[Teebin]

Yeah, it was a youtube that Sheikra posted but I cannot remember what thread it was in. I apologize. I float around on this site like a ghost.

 

[Galaxy Defender]

Here is another one of Rohde off the cuff at Earth Day 2016.

 

[Scott W.]

So is Joe Rhode like Pinocchio except his ear gets longer instead of his nose every time he lies?

 

[Nick]

Sorry @BriMan, didn't mean for this to turn into a DAK/Joe Rohde discussion... :bolt:

 

[Galaxy Defender]

I am assuming that since the work delay was not too long we should see F&F in the early part of 2018?

 

[bob albert]

I don't understand what compels someone to put a whole key ring on their ear.
