Fast & Furious: Supercharged - General Discussion

[Mike S]

I think most people with a modicum of theme park experience think Kong has a lot of potential and some well executed bits.. but also some poorly executed bits and a completely underwhelming finale.

Just in the last week the line for Imagination's ride stretched out into the courtyard outside the building. Heck, people are in line for Stitch's Great Escape right now.

Using line length as an indicator of quality really isn't a good tool.

Can't agree on the finale. It's perfect after the full on action of the 360 scene. The scenes with Kate are what could've been improved for me, moreso the first scene than the bug pit.

Quite frankly I don't want universal to always spend a ton on themeing. To a point I would rather they keep adding new rides with headliners here and there. The difference vs Disney right now is that they are mostly adding high capacity rides regardless of type.

I guess no one likes Kong or wants to ride it. Maybe that's why it's lines have been two to three hours long for most of this week. And it has high capacity to boot. :doh:

I'll be able to judge for myself in March, i have cone over a few disparaging comments about Kong but sry this point Im still proudly spoiler free, that goes for Kong too.

I'll send you a PM with all the spoilers. ...Just kidding, my friend.

I disagree with you, for two reasons..

1.) It's the first time that Universal has properly done a facade that is fully themed on all of it's visible sides.

Transformers?

 

[Scott W.]

Yeah, considering that part of that wall is cast to look like brick, I'm betting the whole thing gets painted. I wouldn't be surprised to see additional theming elements aded as well.

I don't imagine it would look as strong as this but I agree with you.

 

[Jwhee]

Transformers?

I don't know if that is considered theming lol

It's supposed to be a military bunker and it actually looks like a military bunker.

Come on Scott, can't you hand tint each one to match the foreground?

Transformers is probably the best themed ride/showbuilding/employees at Universal Studios Florida (Not Including Diagon) second to MIB.

That's not saying much...

Don't you already have a thread where you pollute it with rude and dismissive comments? Must you infiltrate this one too?
Note: you could have made the same exact point without starting it off being dismissive of others. "Anyone who disagrees doesn't have a modicum of theme park experience" isn't the proper way to start a dialogue.

The "theming" of transformers did a fantastic job at destroying USF sight lines. I can theme a box by painting it grey and adding numbers to it- doesn't mean it looks good.

To be honest, I actually forget about the TF facade at UOR in a sad sense.

Still an opinion. Universal destroys their own "sightlines" by improperly placing rides in terrible locations. That "Theming" is better than any of the other attractions in a sound stage...
My statement is an opinion as well. Not sure how Transformers isn't themed from your previous comment but whatever this is about Fast and furious, not your hate for Transformers and the way it looks.

Actually most of the building seems to be cast to look like an old wooden warehouse. Similar to this.

The only side that is cast as brick is the side facing the Kings Cross building.
