I also like this attraction BECAUSE it’s so bad. The concept of “helping” Tej by sitting on a “party bus” is… ridiculous in a hilarious way.
It's absolute bizarre insanity and I love it. I would take back Earthquake immediately, but I love to bring friends to the attraction and bewilder them.
The second the bus pulled up I was like “…how is this fast or furious.”
Ride or Die
@@DisneyDancer1990 it's their teenage son, "Slow & Mild-Mannered"
For those wondering, The Rock's inexplicable "Cookie Puss" non-sequitor was apparently a reference to his then-ongoing feud with retired professional wrestler CM Punk... which ended five years before this ride opened.
I've heard the same, though I'm not familiar with his wrestling career. It's definitely an interesting choice of words for a theme park attraction though.
That's hilarious
Not retired anymore....But I really hope he stays retired tho.
I thought that dude retired like 15 years ago? The fuck?
What killed me most about the ride is there was no wait time when I first rode it but they still had us do the preshows so it took us twenty minutes I think to walk through all the queue and get through the ride and pre show lol
The pre shows are SOOO LONG and boringgggg. I couldn’t even admire the staff members trying to be funny because it just made me more irritated. I do feel bad for them that they got stuck doing that attraction though lol
Same for me. Walked through the line thinking "wow we really lucked out!". Then it was on to a really shitty unfunny preshow before boarding a "party bus" and leaving really pissed off and angry. And this wasn't long after the attraction opened either but I didn't know anything about it before going on. I *had* been on Disaster! which occupied the same site so I guess I should have guessed it would suck. Skull Island isn't much better either. Universal should never, ever transfer any of their studio tour segments to Orlando ever again.
@@Sarah-qx4vz don't worry they hate it as much as you did trust me I was the only one that got on the ride and they actually struggle to stay in character and actually admitted that they hated it.. don't worry even the staff hate it.
Maybe that’s why I like this ride more, because I always use the single rider line
I just rode this the first time the last two days, and this video hits it spot on.
The first time walking up the universal employee said "don't go in single rider line, go through the queue, it's much better than the actual ride".
The first time I went I was sat near the back, and that was an experience in itself, the second time I was sat at the front.... let me just say..... sitting in the front is even more hilarious with how badly they didn't even try to hide the immersion, you can see the end of the tunnel the entire time, the edges of screens, and everything else to tell you that you were not moving at all.
You really can't do anything but laugh.
Side note- Jimmy Fallon's ride was so much better than I ever expected....I was not excited for this at all, but it was at least fun to do.
Yeah no, it just is a bad ride. It didn't have to replace anything. It would still be bad. You can't convince me otherwise.
Fair enough. It's really sitting in prime space for an expansion of The Wizarding World should they choose to ever demolish it.
@@PoseidonEntertainment Gotta get that Night Bus going!
It’s bad, but funny because it’s bad. It’s like “Plan 9 from Outer Space” or “Santa vs. The Martians”.
@@PoseidonEntertainment How about redesigning the Fast and Furious: Supercharged ride using Boom coaster concept (th-cam.com/video/kAuVOvpC_kg/w-d-xo.html )that is going to be used on the Donkey Kong roller coaster attraction coming to Nintendo World at Universal's Epic Universe.
This was bad enough on the studio tour in LA, I can't imagine standing in line for a stand alone attraction.
You wanted family rides?! THIS is a family ride!
To this day, my daughter and I say to each other "don't worry, I got this" as an inside joke.
At least the attraction creates a lasting memory. Perhaps for the wrong reasons, but a memory nonetheless.
Whenever i go with a new group, I actively hype this one up. First timer reactions are priceless on this one
Dude, you nailed every single thing amazing about this ride. I live In Cali so we just have the USH version which is just part of the Studio Tour so all we get is the garage preshow and then the batshit crazy scene. I was so excited to have my buddy go on the studio tour because he hadn't seen it yet. We were dying of laughter the entire time. My favorite part is how the aspect ratio of the characters seems so off. When Toretto jumps onto the Helicopter he seems so tiny. Even that little video of the 4 of them leaning on the cars and talking to us is so cringy. You even see Lette laughing bc of it.
Wtf it was total traah.
I've been saying forever they need to just steal Test Track's technology. Have guests choose between 2 lines (Dom or Brian) who are going to race against each other. (They might have to CG Paul Walker or just use a different character entirely). The cars are brought to a starting line and are doing another routine street race until one of the many villains shows up and ruins things. From here on out, the cars would go through various intertwining sets trying to subdue the villain until eventually ending at a BBQ gift shop where you can get your photo from the ride with Family-themed frame. Would it be super expensive and potentially non-practical? Probably.
The problem is Test Track and Radiator Springs Racers require a ton of space. However they will have plenty of expansion space at Epic Universe
This sounds like a great idea actually.
It should have been Universal's Rockin' Rollercoaster. It's a real shame.
also test track is the most expensive ride ever created
BBQ scents are pumped into the gift shop and there’s signature “Supercharged” hot sauces.
I actually really like the Hollywood version of this ride, because it makes for a funny and bombastic end to the studio tour. It's very campy, but that fits with the tone of the rest of the tour
Had the privilege to ride this masterwork today, and me and my friend laughed our asses off. I was so overwhelmed by the chaotic effects, and the 4D effects surprised the heck out of me. Such a fun experience.
They should make a Museum of Bad Rides! I am not kidding, I was just watching Theme Park History’s Fast and Furious video when you uploaded!
What else would be in there? Superstar Limo? Garfield's Nightmare?
To kind of bounce off of this topic, I always thought that Disney should open a "Walt Disney World Museum" at Disney Springs in the area near Cirque du Soleil. It would have been a much better replacement for Disney Quest than the NBA Experience. I can see something like "Walt Disney Presents" being turned into a much larger museum tour recycling old animatronics from extinct attractions like Horizons or The Great Movie Ride (if those even still exist) and offering VR ride-throughs of them.
@@TheInflicted ultimate Spiderman the ride
So, Defunctland? #defunctland
I started going to the Hollywood park a lot more come 2018. The first time I experienced this I was so put off by how serious they were trying to make the section feel, but soon after they started just ignoring Dom’s charger completely and eventually removed it I think, and played the whole thing off as if we were being transported into a movie. The ride is so ridiculous you need to think of it that way to make it enjoyable. My favorite thing to do at the end of the ride is to sing a long to “we roll like this”
It’s become an inside joke between my girlfriend
Aye, it's here to stay, so we might as attempt to find something redeemable about it. With all this being said though, I think Universal is taking a completely different turn with their attractions. Hagrid's is incredible, Bourne is pretty decent, and I'm sure that the Velocicoaster will make some waves. All of these things along with the outstanding looking Super Nintendo Land, shows Universal's commitment to quality going forward.
I'm not so sure what's gonna happen to the other Fast and Furious attraction on the Studio Tour thats next to the Universal Picture Cars and Jurassic Park attraction.
"should this attraction have been built? No." Absolutely sent me 🤣🤣
I did the tram ride/tour in California, which is basically a consolidation of some classic rides/scenes (Jaws, Psycho, Earthquake, etc) some new ones (Fast and Furious) and the usual backlot tour. I’m glad I only got the short version of this Fast And Furious. I’m also glad California found a way to keep their classics via the tour.
OK, so the live cast members interacting with pre-recorded dialog have added quips to make it funny, instead of awkward....
They're becoming Jungle Cruise skippers....
I have to respectfully disagree with this video. This ride should have been anything but the lazy phoned in attraction it is today...
Imagine if it was a high speed rollercoaster type ride with screens projecting a thrilling race. That could have been a great experience for the entire family. Still I do think you bring up an excellent point that the Team Members are doing their best to salvage this attraction anyway they can. They truly deserve a gold medal for what they have to deal with.
I've seen a lot of people suggesting a coaster or a Test Track slot-car style ride system, but I'm not really sure if that would really work. The showbuilding for this attraction is huge, but I'm still skeptical that it would be enough space to house anything other than something like the Mummy. Even then, you'd have three similar coasters all right next to each other which would be weird. I know at one point, Fast and Furious was supposed to replace Back to the Future and be a simulator attraction, which I also feel probably wouldn't have worked. If anything, I think that the KUKA technology for Forbidden Journey would have worked the best here. Ride vehicles made to look like cars, but mounted on the KUKA arms might be an interesting idea.
Good point. You do have three other coasters in the park. But if I may present a counter argument. In WDW, You have Big Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain and 7 dwarfs in the same park... So I'd argue Universal is in the safe zone... Plus it beats a motion sim imo. But the space might be an issue. True...
@@imaginationstation3735 I take your point, but I meant more that it would just be the same ride system repeated. Since Mummy and Gringotts are so similar as indoor coasters and even have strikingly similar ride vehicles (despite having two different manufacturers), if you're walking around the west side of the park and doing attractions in order, you would essentially be doing the same type of ride three times. In contrast, obviously Magic Kingdom's coasters are more spaced out and offer completely different experiences. I suppose Thunder Mountain and 7DMT could be compared, but they're quite far from each other. Then again, I would personally be in support of more slow-moving omnimover attractions placed around everywhere, so I could also definitely be wrong in this regard.
@@PoseidonEntertainment Studios already suffers from too many simulators and screen rides. If you enter the park and go clockwise. You got...
-Minions (Theater simulator, but with soap box style cars)
-Shrek 4D (Theater simulator, but with regular benches) *I know it's closing in 2022 but my point still stands + I believe a clone of the Dreamworks Theater in Hollywood, an attraction with the exact same ride system, will replace it.
-Jimmy Fallon (Theater simulator, but the theater is a giant pizza disk)
-Transformers (4D Dark Ride with Simulator ride vehicles)
-Gringotts (Roller Coaster, but with simulator elements as well as relying heavily on screens to tell a story)
-Simpsons (IMAX Theater simulator with box style cars)
If Universal is stepping away from screen rides, but still desire the thrilling attractions they're known for, then either Roller Coasters or thrilling dark rides like Jurassic World Adventure or Indiana Jones Adventure are the best route to take in my opinion. I don't even think screen rides are bad, I just feel that CGI is still not realistic enough. Back To The Future was good cause even though it was a screen ride, the ride film was made up of physical miniatures, giving it a sence of realism that CGI at this moment of time still cannot.
I clicked on this on April Fool's Day and thought it was a joke. However, your explanation makes a lot more sense. The ride can be ironically terrible, but I still hate so many parts of it out of boredom and being inappropriate. Hating this ride is now a staple of my channel. Glad yo get more enjoyment out of it than me, though! Keep making great videos!
Thanks, I appreciate the support! I know that a lot of people won't share my perspective and I would get rid of the attraction given the chance, but I think it's definitely entertaining from a certain point of view.
Girlfriend and I went last year. We didn't know what to expect and we were laughing the whole ride. It was so outlandish. Loved it
I also love this attraction for all the reasons you mentioned. Been watching a bunch of your videos today and they're awesome. Thanks for making them!
Hey thanks, I'm glad that you enjoy!
That pre show scene with Tej is cgi right?😂😂 Cause when I first saw it that’s immediately what I saw him as, a computer animated GTA character!!!😂😂
When my girlfriend and I worked at the Hogs Express, a manager of ours once showed her live footage of literally dozens of people just staring aimlessly around like "What the hell has my life come to that I ended up on this ride?" *Cue:* _Sounds of Silence_
And also, the storage area we put the strollers (we aptly called _Buggingham Palace_ ) was suddenly abhorrently loud because of the ride next to the backstage area. It went from a peaceful area to relax to a place of human torture.
Interesting. I do love people's reactions to the ride though. It's so strange and unexpected that I can't help but be amused by their reactions.
I’m laughing out loud at this
I’d love to see a live stream of people going on that ride
a live stream of people's disheveld faces during this train wreck of a ride would be way more fun to exp than the actual ride
@@Sarah-qx4vz yes especially the first timers who had no idea on to what to expect. I would even pay a small fee just to look at their live reactions 😂🤣😂.
This ride could have been so much more. There is so much potential for a high speed thrill ride like radiator springs racers especially with a franchise like fast and the furious. But the best they could do was a party bus, one of the slowest and most cumbersome vehucles might I add, and some horrible cgi film depicting helicopter sized men jumping around and explosions every 10 seconds. It's honestly incredible how they managed to mess up this badly
I took my friends there for the first time and really hyped the ride by not giving it away and telling them to remember that Vin Diesel was normal sized. We had the best pre-show comedians I've seen on all the times I've been on it, then got hit with a 20min delay after getting on the ride, and ANOTHER 20min delay at the front of the boarding lane after everyone had to get off because they couldn't figure out how to rotate a defective vehicle off the track. On top of that, we got the "quick" intro (many rides have separate full and quick intros depending on weather, crowds, etc.) and none of my friends could understand what was going on. The whole time we were joking with the other riders about waiting for the party to start, and how uncomfortable the ride vehicle seats were and incondusive the setup was to an actual party bus.
In the words of our pre-show girl, this ride is "something about family, I dunno".
FF is hysterically bad and totally agree with all you said about it. However, that Jimmy Fallon ride is the absolute worst. I was so angered by how poor of an experience it was I was debating ending by my day at Universal and fighting for a refund. Like I wanted to physically fight someone for this idiotic and painfully bland ride being even conceptualized let alone brought into existence.
I agree with the team members making this attraction more enjoyable and funny. I also think that Posideon's Fury can be placed in the category of it's so bad it's good 👍
An interesting comparison. I actually really like Poseidon's Fury and I think it's really solid until the campiness of the last room. I don't find Poseidon's strength to be it's campiness, so much as it's the atmosphere.
I went on this earlier this year. I ended up breaking the immersion during the pre-show (which I didn’t know was a pre-show) by mentioning that I hadn’t seen the movies. The cast member played it off that I’d “started the party early”.
I wasn't intending in going to this ride when I visit Universal Florida, having already groaned all through it's californian counter part, but now I just might give it a try if I have some free time on my visit. Great video! Cheers!
I always describe this as a "reverse sandwhich" where the bread is the best part. It has my favorite queue and favorite gift shop, but he middle part is....... well......lol
I think this channel will grow pretty fast. I really love Attraction and theme park channels like this and I hope a lot more people end up finding your channel. Best of luck 👍
Thanks, I'm glad that you enjoy!
My video views seem to be strangely down, but I suspect that people being on Spring Break is a large factor.
@@PoseidonEntertainment possibly. As of typing right now im in disneyworld and im probably gonna head straight to bed once I get to my hotel. Possibly the same goes for a lot of others
I feel so validated after watching this. I've never come off of this ride without crying tears of laughter.
Honestly every time I pass the San Francisco area I always think to myself, “man imagine if they would’ve replaced the San Francisco area with London/Diagon Alley instead of replacing Amity Island?” They both had the space to do it and if they wanted do something about the overpriced effects they could’ve just changed the ride a bit and taken out the costly effects. I mean if Universal is able to maintain Jurassic Park I’m sure they could update Jaws to have the easier refurbishment that JP has. Also Jaws could’ve benefited from adding things to the area like maybe the arcade seen in the movie, more boardwalk/fair attractions like a merry go round for the kid’s. Maybe even a seafood restaurant themed after Quint’s Shack.
lolllll. I skipped this one my last time in FL but I've experienced it many many times in Hollywood b/c I adore the Studio Tour. It's hilariously awful. I think out here it works marginally b/c you don't waste a ton of dedicated time waiting just for THAT... it's tacked onto the end of what's otherwise a great experience (as you said). That said, the studio tour has not one but TWO of these things and I wish they'd retire the King Kong portion. Next time I'm in FL I'll try this one for the line experience/staff banter though!
The ending was always so weird to me. You get out of this action scene and then end up right into the exit area. There is no transition like On Kong, and it can leave you dazed for a minute because you’re trying to process what just happened.
Iv actually been calling it the first so bad it’s good ride.
Just was at Universal Studios recently. I’m more convinced I shared a 3D space with Optimus Prime in Transformers 3D than I did with (real humans) Vin Diesel, Tyrese, and The Rock in this.
I worked at USH when this opened. So many people got mad at us when they found out it wasn’t a roller coaster as the marketing material suggested otherwise.
Elevator pitcher, "so we got a new ride we wanna build, called fast and furious supercharged. But you actually only ever go 7mph and the whole time you're on an electric bus.
Universal exec "add fans and projectors and green light this genius!"
Honestly, my favourite parts of the ride was the pre-show with the actors.
You can tell that they don’t give a shit and decided to just have fun. You know it’s a bad ride, they know it’s a bad ride, so let’s just have fun with it.
I love the guy who goes “ride or diiiiIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!” After vin
I am visiting for the first time in october and I was on the fence about seeing it. I was curious to at least experience whats so notoriously bad, and youve convinced me.
It’s like going to a restaurant and having the worst meal of your life. It’s astounding how bad it is and you can’t help but be amused. I highly recommend Comic Strip Cafe at IoA if you’re looking for this experience.
@@PoseidonEntertainment I rode it this past weekend on my first visit. You were spot on with how the cast handling the preshow really set the mood in a goofy way.
P.A.T. sat there sarcastically mumbling family every time Doms sister said it in the video and the whole crowd was laughing so hard by the time we got on the ride, we were prepared for the rediculousness of it all and it was a great experience even if laughably bad in execution.
first time I rode this ride I loved it, after watching this video i'm going to love it even more lol
I’ve only been on this ride once because I haven’t bothered going on it again, but I don’t hate it. I definitely preferred disaster but I do find the ride at least entertaining, so if someone wanted me to go on it I wouldn’t mind as long as it’s not a long wait 😂😂!!!!
I have only experienced this attraction in the single rider line and vowed to go back. Now I will ride it again using the regular standby line.
I've had the great opportunity to work there myself! Back when Universal had the queue cleaning people, I picked up two of those shifts. The best part? At the end of the training, me and the other queue cleaner went on the ride with one of the TC'S. At the end of the ride, she asked how was it? And I couldn't give her a straight answer as there were guests in front of us x3
What’s funny is even the queue line is better than the ride itself
I absolutely love this perspective on this ride. Troll 2 and Birdemic: Shock and Terror are two of the greatest films ever made.
I see why this a hard sell though. It relates to that Rohde quote about fun being cheap. And I assume most people can't stomach a bad ride since it wastes too much time and money when they could have been on something like ET. Still to replace something as physical as Earthquake with this ride filled with the most bizarre and bad choices /is/ funny, but I think we're only about to look back and laugh since Universal hasn't made a pattern of this.
Well, Universal was making a pattern of it, but seems to be self-correcting at this time.
I feel like theme parks aren’t one of those things that can’t have something that’s “so bad it’s good” bc we all know there could be something so much better in its place and these rides don’t come out at the rates that movies do
Never been to the one in Orlando, but the F&F and Skull Island rides on the tram in Hollywood are unironically some of my favorite things in the park. I think they're so fun!
In conjunction with the studio tour, I think they're interesting experiences. As attractions though? Hmm.
as an LA resident it's cool having a ride on the same freeway that I'll drive home on ..
But I'm really trying to find a positive
I absolutely agree with this! I am planning to go to Universal in a couple of weeks with my wife who has never been before and am very excited for her to get to experience this absolute disaster of a ride!
The best aspect is that there's never even a line. I knew something was up when it was posting 20 minute waits after the week it opened.
I went on this with my parents after hearing how horrible it was. Figured we could all go for a good laugh. I had so much embarrassment just sitting in the “party bus.” 🤦🏻♀️
And apparently now my husband wants to go on it too. LMAO he has NO idea what he’s in for. I can’t wait. He knows it’s going to be atrocious but… oh man.
Part of what makes the attraction so fun is tricking other people onto it
@@PoseidonEntertainment haha that’s pure evil but I love it
This is my wife’s favorite ride after a couple of cocktails.
💌Just found this channel and I'm totally PSYCHED!!! Fresh new takes on theme park shizz really makes me happy. Fantastic recontextualization of sus ride💣
I couldn't think of a better use for all that space
9:09 I’m glad someone else notice this.
It’s so sloppy and endlessly hilarious.
@@PoseidonEntertainment HaHa!
When I was younger I loved the old school cheesy stunt show with the mechanical arms, lol at the end of the show the cars would dance to gasolina by daddy yankee
Its identical to Kong Skull Island in IOA, but Kong has a better line que(dark and spooky like you're in a cave)..and the Kong animatronic is the best I've seen. I dont know how Universal thought Fast and Furious could ever be good.
Very much a corporate decision it seems. Universal has very quickly reversed course on these types of attractions though.
You had me in the first half 💀
I disagree. The camp wasn't intentional. And the action segments of the chase are poorer quality than the worst video games. I admit I've only ridden it a few times. BUT, I don't ever want to suffer again through the cheesy (not campy) pre-shows in order to see low-quality graphics. I have agreed with your opinions in all of your other videos, but not this time!
Sorry, I haven't watched the video in a while so I don't recall exactly what I said, but I believe I was referencing the films when I was talking about intentional camp.
If you're referencing to what I said about the spielers in the pre-shows, it seems to very much depend on the person. A lot of them are really good and completely eliminate the "cringe" when they're funny.
Def changed my mind
I hated this ride until I took a friend on it. Being able to quip and watch their reactions made it extremely enjoyable.
My first ride left me laughing hysterically like the Joker… I was like of course they would think to do this, of course! So exaggerated but thinking it’s cool
How about whenever Rip Ride Rockit is inevitably torn down they replace it with a BETTER coaster that uses the Fast and Furious theming? Then they can use the Supercharged space for something more worthwhile. That would seem like a win-win at a park that could really use some major updates, or else it's going to look really dull in comparison to Islands and Epic.
Hahaha! I just went to Universal Studios and we totally gave this ride a pass, this makes me wish we rode it for the lols
As much as it frustrates me to not have Earthquake, I think this attraction will come into its own niche in the coming years because of what it is. Given the right expectations, it's truly a fun experience, even if for the wrong reasons.
@@PoseidonEntertainment It's still roundly inferior to the re-worked "Disaster" attraction. F&F is mostly notable for its astonishingly high budget, considering the poor final product.
@@TheInflicted Definitely agree, but since it's already here and doesn't look to be leaving any time soon, I at the very least was interested in trying to look for merits that were not immediately obvious.
Not filming it together isn’t an excuse for the awkwardness. A lot of the actors in Sin City were filmed separately and you really can’t tell.
Went on this ride 2 weeks ago and the ONLY reason it was entertaining is because ride broke down in the party scene and we almost had to be evacuated 😂
This ride was the worst one at universal, by far.
True enough, but I also feel the funniest.
@@PoseidonEntertainment That's a sad reflection on The Simpsons ride, which is supposed to be the funny one.
@@HOTD108_ Maybe, but I've never found it very amusing. I do really dislike the animation style of The Simpsons though, so I've always found that part of the park distasteful.
Jimmy Fallon is worse
Went on the studio tour yesterday and wondered why everyone hated this so much. I mean it wasn't good, especially the beginning, but as an end to the studio tour they could have done worse.
Then I learned it was a stand alone ride in Florida. Oh god, what were they thinking.
12:55 don't forget Spider-Man, King Kong and Harry Potter and the forbidden journey at USF's brother park: Islands of adventure.
anybody know the song playing when he first explains the attraction?
Something about the Studio Tour edition of this ride made it really hard for me to dislike it. The bits of buildup and excellent ride experience beforehand really makes it feel like a fitting campy conclusion to the Studio Tour. The bad dialogue and laughable action scene makes it really hilarious although I hope they do something else with it.
Want to REALLY enjoy it? Try throwing yourself into each role the ride conveys...
"WERE GONNA PARTY! OH SHIT, WERE ALL GONNA DIE! AND PARTY! BUT SERIOUSLY, WE'RE ALL DEAD! AND PARTYING!
You can't follow along that yo-yo without laughing your butt off!
That's not to say the ride doesn't suck, but it's the way to make the best out of something bad!
i feel like you need to know this, the entire fast 9 trailer played before the video started!
It seems appropriate, ha ha.
I'm just sad since this could've been the opportunity to create an amazing dueling rollercoaster to the theme of Fast and Furious.
I love to try and guess how many deaths happen during this ride
By typical standards the ride was terrible. But the fact that the team members knew how bad it was they were joking the whole time, that made it funny. They really leaned into the awkwardness and I loved it.
I personally didn't think it was that bad, but I think it's because maybe when I was in Orlando I was in a way forcing myself to love absolutely every ride and attraction. My girlfriend at the time said as we walked out "well that was f***** s***" and I never really understood why. I'm now learning that it's generally hated by everyone probably over the age of 12. Seeing it back in your videos I can now see it was just a huge cop out by creating yet another screen based ride. A F&F themed ride that would be a combination of Test Track and Spider Man/Transformers would have been so much better. Imagine the street racing, drifting, over the top high speed chases. Why did they not think of that?? I'm sure it would have been hugely expensive, but a good investment at least.
This perspective is like being happy finding a piece of corn in shit
Friends: I really don’t want to ride this.
Me: *Pulls out a glock* Ride or die!
Hilariously bad is the best thing that can be said about this. I don't really care about the movies either, so no surprise there. Earthquake was pretty great. Would've been better to just update that. I am also sick of screen-based rides, so that definitely doesn't help.
I’ve only been to Universal studios Hollywood and while fast and furious is arguably the…. worst part of the studio tour it’s also the last. everytime the fast and furious segment ends i’m laughing because of how ridiculous it is- and that’s what makes it fun cause it’s just so crazy. I always leave the studio tour with a smile on my face. Plus, my mom who i visit the park with everytime has said that fast and the furious is her favorite ride in the ENTIRE park- i think when you put aside that the screen attractions are kind of lazy, and just enjoy fast and furious for how ridiculous it is, it’s so much more fun. ride or die!
Ride or die!
I had family come into town and they were visiting the parks a few weeks ago and I was their guide for Universal and Islands of Adventure as when I was growing up, I used to have an annual pass, but hadn't been there myself in almost 10 years. I knew Earthquake had been replaced, so I was excited to see what new stupid thing was put in because I've never seen anything Fast and the Furious, I don't even think my visiting family had either, and immediately, it was just a wreck. Poor layout moving guests from one room to the next, we got split up so many times. The exposition dumps were just confusing and for whatever reason Tej looks like a videogame character and not an actual actor, the lighting on him is terrible. However, the actual employees were hilarious. Small little interjections, predicting what the next line was, or intentionally getting it wrong, it was pretty funny. Then the ride began, and it was that awful screen tech that really only works from a distance. Why have this empty room with screens? I don't get it. Then the car chase happened, and we had about the best minute of our lives. I had no idea what to look at, we were bombarded with wind and water, but it was fun. And then it just abruptly ended. It could have gone on longer and that was our main complaint. We spent more time setting everything up, and then when the ride finally commences, it's over just about as soon as it started. Earthquake was definitely a better experience overall; it was about how movies get made and their various techniques, what's not to like when the theme park is titled Universal Studios? But had the car chase gone on about double the length it actually did and had a proper conclusion, it wouldn't be all that terrible and I wouldn't mind it as a replacement. It's still bad, but I didn't hate the experience, it just needed a bit more to make it more worth while. This is when I was glad we had fast passes from their hotel. Despite the wait time not being long regardless, if we had to wait 30 minutes just to get to the preshows and then a screen, I'd be upset, so I definitely get the negative reception most people would have.
Hot take: Race Through New York is a less enjoyable attraction than F&F.
It's bad because as a ride based the Fast & Furious franchise, the look of the outside, and the badass line Your mind expects something much better than 2 weird show and a party bus sitting in between 2 screens and a lil john for some reason.
Its just weird
Why is this video so lit lol
Because the ride is both fast and furious
I agree with this claim, now riding the ride 10 times I see that it's worth riding for the sheer insanity of it. Absolutely love Universal Studioes Orlando doh. It's a shame how every other ride is great, except this one, eh but no themepark is perfect.
I still think that the park needs overall improvements. I think bringing The Secret Life of Pets attraction to the park would help it quite a bit.
@@PoseidonEntertainment I respect that, I personally think any park needs improvement, studios is in a bit of an era lock admittedly, but as a sucker for nostalgic things I love it for that.
The only good thing about this ride is the detail of the girls dancing in the beginning of the ride.
I think you’re onto something… I think they knew exactly what they were doing when they made this.
Now THATS what I call camp
To me this ride should of been like Transformers or Spiderman. And theme of it is going back to street racing or have a hijack through LA.
I think people would have complained because another iteration of that same ride system would have been tedious, but I can imagine a much better attraction using that technology.
I see what you mean, but I don’t agree, it is just a bad ride!
I thought you were just gonna say you love it because it marked the death of Universal's cheap screen rides.
I mean, fair. However, Hagrid's only opened the year after Fast so I think at that point they knew they had to change a few years prior. It seems to me that someone at Comcast was likely making decisions for a few years and attractions like Fast only happened because the R&D had already been invested.
Sounds like the pre-show was an attempt to copy rock'n'roller coaster at disney.
They get rid of Back to the future and Kongfrontation just to get this horrendous rides.
My biggest gripe with this HORRENDOUS ride, is that is is a HUGE missed opportunity. It could've easily been a HIGH SPEED coaster, giving us an actual, awesome coaster, inside UO.
Mummy is one of my favorite rides ever, so don't get me twisted. But it's an indoor coaster, and it's more family friendly than say.... Velocicoaster.
If they made FnF an intense coaster, it would make sense with the "theme" of fast, and also furious.
And I think UO really REALLY needs a high intensity thriller. Mummy is great, but not necessarily high intensity. RRR, although I disagree with you, and think is a fun coaster... It's also not high intensity.
There isn't a single inversion in all of universal. Which is in itself, an injustice.
They could definitely fit a great coaster on that spot, while keeping a lot of the themeing of the cue(maybe rearranging it, and downsizing, and getting rid of the stupid TV talks)
They have had a lot of fantastic luck with Intamin. Just order a coaster, pop it in, and call it a day lol
It would make a huge huge difference, not only in the park as a whole, but with the way we now view FnF in the park. It needs a redemption lol
I'm not a FnF fan by any means, but I get the desire to have a ride in this park. It's one of their biggest franchises.
This ride was just such a huge swing and a miss. But I genuinely think it's not too late to fix it. Close down the atrocity, and swap out the bus ride for a coaster. Boom. Fixed.
dont forget hollywoods version
I unapologetically love this attraction & I can’t tell you how refreshing it is to come across someone within the theme park commentary space that doesn’t hate it
It’s a Guilty Pleasure. It’s so Dumb, so Over the Top, and poorly executed…I can’t help but laugh every time I’m on it.
I think the word you're looking for is camp. Fast and Furious Supercharged is very camp
