Fast & Furious: Supercharged - General Discussion

[Mad Dog]

So what's the issue with the vehicles? Wi Fi problem, their large size, special effect stuff on the vehicles, or something else?

 

[epcyclopedia]

Well they just released a video about how great they are so they're not going to physically change or suddenly get a ride track.

 

[Teebin]

For now, I will just say, something else. It may be that wifi wasn't the issue after all. I will tell you that the batteries seem to be working just fine... "knock on wood"

 

[Teebin]

They've applied for permits. It's pretty clear they know what they're doing

Whatever... they (UC) ain't happy about it. I'm pleased to say that they are as angry as I am.

A design over site, or something on the RV's manufactures side perhaps? I know the company doesn't usual dabble in the theme park industry...

 

[Mad Dog]

Well, it makes sense. Universal wasn't their really fast self in closing down Disaster and leveling the construction site. So perhaps they were delaying until they partially redesigned the building to accommodate the vehicle issues.

About the ride? Permits being submitted? Posted that the permits were submitted?

Does this mean we might get something a little more... fast and furious?

I still don't understand the RV/tram idea.

 

[deathcab4cutie]

universal tends to try and fix its complaints and the biggest complaint uni has right now is there is not enough rides for small kids.A tram ride would have a low height limit.

True, but a ride based on F&F won't pass the red face test as being something for small kids to ride. Toning this down to make it family friendly doesn't make sense given the IP.

I don't understand it either. I can see the benefit of having something similar in size to the F&F Hollywood ride so they can reuse some assets but this should really be it's own stand alone thing.

 

[deathcab4cutie]

well you have to imagine that universal tends to go for rides around 5min long plus a tram would have a very high capacity.Add the fact that its next to harry potter. this ride is being made to suck up people lowering the wait for the rides around it.The harry potter attractions tend to remain very popular for a very long time so anything that can trap people in it for awhile would make the two non fast-pass lines a lot more bearable.Besides we dont know if it will be a tram yet.Just look at kong before more info came out i heard the ride vehicles were either a boat or a coaster and neither were true

I've never really noticed that before about rides at Universal. What ride has the shortest ride time out of interest?

Dr doom. If I'm not mistaking.think nuthouse coaster is longer than doom

 

[ReelJustice]

And he's always welcome back too!

Meh.

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Meh.

Shut up Mike.

That's what they get for trying to make a F&F ride that isn't fast. :look:

SO looking at aerial Images, Universal Could Pull another Diagon Sized area for the space Disaster and Beetle Juices encompassed. What Exactly are we getting for this ride again?

Seems like most of it is still up in the air. Looking like part of Hollywood F&F,plus enhancements, that are undetermined at this point. Also, maybe a huge detailed queue.

The largest attraction show building on property. What's in there apparently uses the trackless technology from VDL completely indoors.

If I had to guess, we will see Supercharged expanded much like Kong but with a large and detailed line; with the attraction adding some of the other actors in the mix.

I have to think that the 360 portion will be upgraded immensely in the effects, but well find out when more Intel's released by sources and USO themselves.
