Fast & Furious: Supercharged - General Discussion

[Yung1522]

I saw it. No opening date.

Anything new or just that same behind the scenes that was already out?

Ok but 3d is sill more immersive.

Having seen it, its hard to describe. But basically even though its 2D your brain sees it as 3D and real. One of ShowScan's tricks was to have a film playing (in 24fps) and have the screen tear, with the revealed back going at 70fps (technically it was all being projected at 70). People though the screen was really damaged, and a repairman took the screen down... and then something would happen... it fooled nearly everyone.

People hate the glasses, and the 3D can give people headaches and increases motion sickness.

I hate the glasses :agree:

Going to guess an opening day announcement will be given next week...

thats what they all say:cry:

I saw it. No opening date.

:jaw:

Like I was saying, we're probably not going to have any action here until after the 7th.

Next week and/or the week after might be employee previews, (if everything goes well Wednesday.)

Technical Rehearsals may start as early as the last week of March, but you never know, so maybe into April.

I expect a grand opening date announcement by the end of the month, but I wouldn't count on anything until after some more testing with actual bodies happens first.

Is it wrong that the only thing I'm excited for in Florida this year is Infinity Falls at Sea World?

Disney and Universal are really dropping garbage this year.

True but this is the calm before the storm.

It’s also nice to give SeaWorld a nice memory before Universal and Disney destroy it.

1 ride/ year for all universal parks in the world (UO, HOLLYWOOD, SINGAPORE, Japan

ohh, so like 1 ride per year per resort

The quote was about capital expenditures every year at each resort. This includes more than rides.

Yea, new hotel rooms was, and still is, a big part of the plan as well.

If you take the Disney definition the lights on the castle qualify

 

[Arno]

to summarize, Comcast had affirmed to open every year a novelty (hotel, attraction, show, ...) in all the universal parks.
