Studio Tour's Fast & Furious: Supercharged (Closed)

[Alexshow.]

^^

Correct me if i'm wrong here but I believe Fast and Furious is using the same 3D glasses as Kong. It will just be in higher resolution, might be wrong.

 

[Allen The Actor]

^ that's the assumption, yes. Just makes sense.

My god, I can't contain my excitement for F&F. I hope it's completely immersive and doesn't have too many "this is an attraction" give aways like Kong and Minion Mayhem have.

I'm hoping the wind effects in this ride are VERY strong. I want those simulated speeds to feel realistic as possible. Transformers' winds effects weren't really strong enough in that venue.

 

[William]

Minion Mayhem managed to pull off some realistic wind effects.

King Kong has that feature as well, but it's only used for the split second at the beginning of the animation when the earth-like smell is puffed into the tram cars.

 

[Allen The Actor]

^ those few seconds in Kong are my absolute favorite. It's a few split seconds of total immersion. I agree that I'd like to see some intense wind effects. I wish Transformers had stronger wind effects. There's some, but it's weak.

Now, just imagine Frankenstein trudging through there...!

I would hope they would add a bit of set dressing. I know they're going to be adding a butt ton of trees to that area soon. 

 

[William]

Hopefully the fountain returns. That's really all the set dressing they need, no?

Does anyone know what they going to do with the Courthouse Square. Will there be some re-enactment of the famous scene from Back To The Future?

Welcome to the forums!

As of now, nothing is confirmed for Courthouse Square during the Nighttime Studio Tour. Rumors have gone around for quite awhile now that they'd implement some sort of mini-performance of the famous scene from the first Back to the Future film, but it's currently still in a state of speculation.

On the other hand, new lighting rigs have been spotted on the roofs of the buildings surrounding the Courthouse. They have something planned, at least.

 

[Allen The Actor]

I sincerely hope that the Night Time Tour isn't just overhyped. It'd be nice if it was something a bit "more" than just different lighting and a few characters coming out. I'd like to see something exciting!

Hopefully our KUKA Door for Fast and Furious works I know Gringotts in Orlando has not been working since it opened

I think you got some information mixed up there...

The hidden door on the Kuka arm in Gringotts has had issues, but it HAS worked since opening.

Also, us having a Kuka door in F&F is totally a rumor and in my opinion unnecessary. If F&F will be truly 360 and the exit will have a projection on it as well, they can simply use a similar system to the screen doors they had in T23D. More practical.

Not EVERYTHING has to have the Kuka technology integrated.

With that said, in my dreams I'd love to see a physical helicopter on an inverted kuka arm go around the trams, ready to "attack".

 

[Trumpet]

Yes, I would like the Night Tours to add something to the roster of attractions. With it not being offered every day on the summer season, (as it said in the original press release) then I am thinking it will not be what we are hoping it to be.

 

[Jonathan]

Kuka arm doors on Gringotts are still having issues. When I was there in Feb. they rarely worked.

 

[Jonathan]

it'll be interesting to see what happens with the Nighttime tours.

Yeah Orlando United were discussing the problem on there last podcast too.

 

[William]

As of now, the KUKA-powered exit door in Escape from Gringotts is not operational. That, however, is a separate topic.

It has not been confirmed that Supercharged will utilize the KUKA technology. The rumors I've heard are in regard to it being used for elements during the actual attraction, but nothing for the exit of the show building itself.
