Fast & Furious Coaster Coming in 2027

[clappyclaps]

Thoughts anyone?

I'm incredibly disappointed that Universal haven't thought out of the box and done something different here to be honest. Admittedly I'm not a fan of the Fast & Furious films but anything else would have been preferable - I've seen so many suggestions for Back to the Future, Ghostbusters etc that would be much better.

You just thanos’d a potential east coast audience for Universal Hollywood. Congratulations.

The coaster enthusiast in me is thrilled about this.

The Theme Park fan in me feels like it's lame and sort of lazy to name it the exact same thing as the new coaster in Hollywood. Not to mention the name doesn't really fit considering the entrance will be in the New York section of the park (unless of course that's all going to change, too?).

Do I care about the Fast & Furious franchise? Not one bit. At the end of the day it's a new, awesome, outdoor steel roller coaster that will undoubtedly be a huge improvement over the coaster it's replacing. The coaster will be what makes it a great attraction regardless of whatever IP they chose to theme it after.

A coaster was rumored before they did the comedic failure of Supercharged, indeed many assumed they would be doing a coaster for Fast and Furious when it was announced the franchise was being added to the parks but then it was well what we got at Orlando.

So this news is not shocking in the least, it's what people have been wanting in Orlando for a long time (in lieu of what Supercharged was disappointingly of).

You've pretty much summed up how I feel about it, just a lot more eloquently. Looking forward to the coaster itself, but the theming is definitely a let down.

Hopefully it'll be awesome... so it will pull people from attractions I want to do
I have no interest in a roller coaster like this.
