Fast & Furious: Supercharged - General Discussion

[Galaxy Defender]

I agree.

Like it or not, Supercharged is going to get a lot more foot traffic in that area, much more than when Disaster and Beetlejuice layed there. It's an insanely popular franchise, that has grown very much within several markets. In my opinion; while it may not be the best thing on property, I wouldn't be a damned bit shocked that it's a bit more well visited than Disaster.

Once the kinks are worked out of this ride is going to have much more capacity than disaster, if for no other reason that it will be up and running all the time. Disaster was down so much it just drove people away from that area.

Transformers is still a great attraction despite its similarities to Spider-Man though so not that good of a comparison

I'm talking more of how similar the technology is of that and Spiderman.

If the insider reports are true, some kind of variation of this...

Something like this then?

You know, I am curious; what would happen if you trim the car down to make it shorter than that image? I'm just curious to see how that would actually look..

Might as well take it to the final stage.



Even shrunk down to this size, you're still going to fit 24 people on it.

Don't expect Kong like vehicles anymore.

Hell ya!!!!

 

[Viator]

Don't expect Kong like vehicles anymore.

Should we still expect something like Kong's 360 section?

 

[Parkscope Joe]

Hell ya!!!!

This isn't changing the ride design btw

 

[WAJAS]

This isn't changing the ride design btw

Even a little change that differentiates the ride from Kong is good news to me.

There will still be large vehicles and 360 scenes.

 

[Viator]

There will still be large vehicles and 360 scenes.

Are they going to use possibly something like the Busbar then?

 

[Mad Dog]

Don't expect Kong like vehicles anymore.

Wow, you have all kind of news today, on many fronts. Did you infiltrate a UC party last night?

And I get that, but let me put it at this.

It may not have the best story, and it may be the Transformers situation all over again; but there are far better projects in the horizon that the fans will be happy about. This attraction, is not for the fans. It's for the General Public; and that is what they're going to be reaching for, because F&F is a huge IP for Universal.

It will probably make the fans angry, because it took away Disaster and Beetlejuice, but considering all the rumors of SLoP and Nintendo; those projects should be things that fans look forward too a lot more than this. And while I did find Supercharged at USH to be tolerable; I think you guys (and Beijing) will be getting the much better experience overall. So yes, while I am hopeful on Supercharged being better for you guys; I think we are looking at the wrong projects to be excited about for the next few years.

That is what I have been thinking/saying all along, this attraction is not meant as a flagship, it is really just filler.

Does anyone remember Speed? The bus had to go 55 or it would trigger a bomb on the bus? Could they be poaching a thin plotline? I imagine there is some way to "simulate" speed in this scenario?

Oh man, forget the Fast and the Furious, give me a SPEED ride.

 

[Living_Bread]

Oh man, forget the Fast and the Furious, give me a SPEED ride.

I would love a SPEED ride!

It could still be furious.

 

[sparky]

It could still be furious.

or maybe just a little cranky? Slow and cranky. Meandering and mellow. Doesn't have the same ring as Fast and Furious
