Fast & Furious: Supercharged - General Discussion

They should just cancel this ride and move on. The money will be better spent on literally anything else.

This isn't true at all. I think we all agree that this ride looks and sounds underwhelming but the franchise is a money maker and a in house property. The merchandise sales Universal will get from this will alone be worth it for them.

Damn! I was hoping Universal was going to contain the upcoming projects I have no interest in to one single year! With F&F moving to 2018, I doubt we'll be getting anything else eventful coming to the parks that year. So it's looking like 2019 at the earliest for something else exciting being added.

Disclaimer: Yes, I know Kong hasn't even technically, officially opened yet, and we shouldn't be getting greedy. I just hope it's not 3 or 4 years before Universal adds something new that gets me hyped up.

I'm praying to The Old Gods and the New this means they're changing the ride. @Teebin could you do some poking around??? :shrug:

I started poking around, after reading all of the comments on this thread. Waiting for my guy to get back to me. Hope he tells me something lol.

They've changed the official site as well to say 2018. I wonder what the issue is.]

I think the new frozen ride will be better than this. LMAO

The issue was Kong. They put the brakes on the project to see how glitchy the ride system was. I don't know if anything changed.

"Oh we finally got it to work like we thought we eventually would."
"Well, nevermind then! Continue on then with the godawful idea we cooked up!"

:bang:

That would be a huge embarrassment, I have no words.

No doubt in my mind if they build a Kong clone with a Furious overlay.

 

[martymcflyy85]

I wouldn't take that delay as a sign of a ride/plans changing.

I don't believe this will be true.

 

[AlexanderMBush]

I don't believe this will be true.

Isn't there a rumor floating about here on OU of a 2018 addition, replacing DC at IOA?

 

[belloq87]

I don't believe this will be true.

Well, color me intrigued, then!

 

[Teebin]

If it is a coaster then I will never know. That said, I am not aware of anything else. Hmm.

Unless... it is SLOP. That would make sense if the movie continues to receive good reviews.

If SLOP does come; could it be possible that the Shrek Building stays mostly intact (much like how Fallon is) (and, if the plans have changed to go to Shrek)?

If SLOP does come (due to other sources being hazy about it); could it be possible that the Shrek Building stays mostly intact (much like how Fallon is)?

I dont know how much room.you have especially with the rumored trackless tech. Would have to be 2 stories like TF. In that case the roof may have to change/building expanded. Toon lagoon makes more sense from a space perspective cause you can start from scratch.

SLOP is rumored to be taking almost the exact footprint that USH's SS28 had before it was demolished.

But that can be talked over at the thread it should go to, and not here.

Personally; I think F&F being delayed is actually a great thing. Especially when you consider that the attraction needs to be better than USH, and this can be a great motive for UC to go back on the drawing board on what they want for the ride in it's story and scenes.

 

[Mad Dog]

Even though we're probably stuck with the 360 Hollywood screen scene, hopefully enough stuff will get added & plussed so the experience is many times better. They certainly have the time to do it. I'm probably being overly optimistic. But you would think they would realize their original plans were not going to produce a winning popular attraction. They just can't be that dense,I would hope.
