The electrical trams are now on use! I don’t know how long they’ve been on use but I’m currently sitting in one and these things are whisper quiet, color me surprised

Is the entire tram brand new or only the front car or was an old front car retrofitted to EV?

I think everyone has guilty pleasure movies and shows they watch. I doubt everyone who goes to watch the FF movies believe that they're well shot films with social commentary and good storytelling. it's definitely not my cup of tea, but for others it just boils down to "car go vroom vroom", and that's fine.

My issue with Supercharged isn't that the FF movies are bad, it's that the attraction itself isn't very good. It deserves something that doesn't feel as mailed in. Probably a stunt show similar to Bourne or a themed coaster or indoor coaster like Mummy. Taking shots at the FF franchise for consisting of bad films and using that as an excuse to not have it at the park isn't fair, considering a lot of the attractions we have at the park now aren't exactly based off of "good films". Universal has traded in a lot of good attractions based on classic films for more contemporary and popular titles, which I'm not really a fan of, but I understand why they have to due to limited space and wanting to keep people coming back.

I don't know what the GP consensus is on Supercharged, I personally don't know anyone who likes it, and I would rather see it gone sooner rather than later. I'm just glad it's part of the Tour and not a stand-alone attraction out here taking up space like it is in Orlando.

F&F has a huge audience and is loved by many…. But even if you don’t like it, their representation in the parks is justified. USH has had proof for two decades that no matter how bad or hated a movie may be, an attraction based on the property can be amazing.

Exhibit A: Waterworld

Just because supercharged was poorly designed doesn’t mean Fast and Furious doesn’t lend itself to a great attraction, per se

Been lurking this convo laughing to myself all the way through.
I love the Fast and Furious films.
And I love Supercharged.
Somewhere between genuinely and ironically, more so toward the latter side, but love them nonetheless.

I think F&F is absolutely justified as a theme park experience, even if I don’t care for the franchise . But with its box office gross and draw, it’s should be a headliner thrill ride and not a 3D tunnel stop along the Studio Tour.

I was pleasantly surprised that they also blast fog in your face in Hollywood, although not as much as in Orlando.

Fast and Furious definitely needs to be a racing coaster. West Coast Racers at Six Flags Magic Mountain is the star example of what Universal could’ve done, especially in Orlando with the space. It hurts even more because the exterior and queue in Orlando is amazing but the ride is a poor port over from Hollywood’s tram version. It’s been said many times but Despicable Me and Fast and Furious, two of the biggest Universal owned franchises, have the worst ride adaptations ever.

My exact feelings. My best friend and I yell "DRIVER! MOVE THAT VEHICLE!" and she has an Instagram highlight just for that part because the acting is so bad it's funny. (also "robbie get in! .....get in.") It's an inherently bad attraction but damn. Let people have fun!!

The best line for me is, "It is now, stink pickle."

Guaranteed also is there is always one person who actually turns off their phone.

I can't remember if anyone mentioned it, but they put another picture car display on the former Whoville lot.

I thought we weren't supposed to post anything related to JPLAND.

And I thought it opened on June 25, not June 24.

Yeah, it opened on the 25th. Don't tell him though, he might go and harass some employees to get the anger out.

Well he literally goes every single day so he probably went on it both days for the anniversary just to be safe. :lol:

I feel the same way. I enjoy the F&F franchise (just saw F9 last night!) and for what it is Supercharged kind of encapsulates the vibe of the last few films well so it's fine. I do think that a franchise of that magnitude and genre probably should have received more of a thrill ride or something though.

Ha! That's so funny. A few of my friends have the same inside joke about that line, too.
