Mobile Fast and Furious ride.

Went on this today. I think it’s the first day? We were here early as we are AP holders and the ride opened at 9am so we walked on. There is a virtual line system in place though.

So, any good? The early reviews havn't been great.

I could care less about it really and am kinda hoping it will just suck crowds away from the rides I actually want to do lol

I'm convinced, FF and Kong have been built specifically for that purpose

Entirely my opinion of course but I would rate it below The Mummy, Gringotts and Transformers. It’s better than Race Through New York though. I had high hopes for something new and exciting but found it a bit mediocre. As I said, just my opinion.

Totally agree. Was very short too. Definitely wouldn't queue for it again although I haven't seen the films so perhaps much of it was lost on me. An anti-climax.

How disappointing - I love the films (we even went to the Fast & Furious Live show at the O2!).

One to do only if there's a short Express line then!

We got in a couple of weeks ago on a soft opening. It’s an absolute load of rubbish. It’s basically a straight copy of Kong except way worse.

The CGI in parts is terrible. At one point Vin Diesel is hanging off the bottom of a helicopter and he looks about 12 feet tall.

The premise is just ridiculous. A franchise based on supercars and your ride vehicle is...a bus?!

Also two separate pre shows. Ridiculous.

Honestly, it’s awful, there’s nothing good I can say about it.

The pre shows were awkward to say the least. I'm disappointed in it but I do prefer it to Kong.

Is this ride and Kong similar to the experience at Backlot Tour at Universal in Los Angeles does anyone know?

I loved Kong but didn't rate the Fast & Furious part.
