Fast & Furious: Supercharged (Now Closed)

[OrlandoGuy]

RIP. I don’t have much good to say about this one. My best (maybe only) memory from it is hanging out around the back when the former COO officially handed the ride over to the Opening Ops Team. He said, “I know it’s a piece of s***, but try to make it the best piece of s*** you can.”

That could be an iconic start of a story for a ride that eventually found its footing but I guess it’s all for the best that this one came and went as quickly and quietly as it did.

I'm not too worried about Universal's overall expenditures in Florida not being enough to compete with what Disney is opening over the next five years.

I am worried about USF continuing to get the short end of the stick (either in focus or quality). There are only so many clear and obvious spots in this park that are prime for redevelopment (Supercharged and Springfield being the two top and most obvious contenders), and if they can't come up with anything great for this very large piece of land... it's kind of perplexing and concerning.

If they still choose to let USF languish even if guests continue to bypass in it favor of IOA and Epic, their loss.
