Fast & Furious: Supercharged - General Discussion

[Mike S]

Well, at the very least, looks like they've got themselves a nice show building to use for a replacement ride if this one ends up tanking.

If I'm being honest, I did have "when" typed in there originally, but didn't want to be too negative

 

[lillylyon123334]

Repeat after me "I will wait to judge how the building looks after it is complete"

Forbidden journey and kong would have looked identical at this stage of the game. Could you imagine how ridiculous I would sound if I said "FJ is one of the ugliest ride buildings for universal" prior to it even starting its theming? Because that's where you are now- complaining about something that hasn't even had its first coat of paint.

Haha, No I will not wait. Any building themed to a gross broken down warehouse is utterly appalling for any theme park anywhere and down right disgusting. Talk about taking the cheap lazy way out. I mean a broken down warehouse ... really? That's bottom of the barrel stuff right there

 

[BrenRays]

Why is this show building so huge, exactly?

 

[GadgetGuru]

My personal theory is that they built a giant box without having a good idea what to put in it. That's why they're able to "supposedly" make alterations at this stage.

How about a gross broken down hotel? Equally appalling, cheap and lazy?

The 360 scene and ride vehicles are rather large..Plus throw for projectors I guess

 

[lillylyon123334]

A broken down hotel would of been great! Much more creative even though its been done. Hell, It's.... a warehouse.... a ware-house ..... a broken down warehouse ... a square shaped building. Nothing more ..... hopefully they can make it work ... ish

 

[Mad Dog]

I think another major park system is switching their broken down hotel theme to a warehouse theme. Across the plaza from Disneyland..... The best area in Universal's NYC is the slum like back alley, and the very old looking decrepit Knockturn Alley is pretty awesome in Diagon, so I see no problem with the warehouse theme. It fits the realism.

 

[LJGonz]

I think the warehouse is fine, the problem is the actual ride!!

Have you been to Universal Studios before? I think they've mastered making 'square-shaped buildings' work

 

[GadgetGuru]

I'll point out the obvious.

All ride buildings are just big, tall, plain, square-shaped buildings. Look at the Great Movie Ride for instance. Or Hogwarts. What matters is the facade that's put in the front of the building.

 

[epcyclopedia]

Yeah, I think Epcot is the only park that has gotten particularly creative with show buildings.

 

[Teebin]

@Teebin is our building bigger because there's a turn at the end? the hollywood building looks like the tram just goes straight through.

Yes to both...

 

[Cheezbat]

Apart from Diagon, New York, and MIB, the Studios park just continues to be one big mis-mashed mess of buildings and 3-D screen attractions. Looks like Fast N Furious is continuing the mis-mash ugly.

I can't believe I'm saying this, but the park I once thought was the best in Orlando now seems to be the weakest in the Universal parks family. (Yes, id take IOA, Uni Hollywood, Japan, or Singapore over USF right now.)

Really? I'd say Hollywood is worse off with how little it has.

 

[LJGonz]

Yes to both...

Wow how exiting, a turn at the end of the ride...

Spoilers, there are....wait for it....two turns actually

 

[LieutLaww]

The 2nd turn takes you directly to the gift shop

 

[Jonea32]

Thank god it's not an endless loop
