I love universal and see a new ride is opening. We go July/August. What sort of ride is it and what has it replaced. Oh and has Beetlejuice show been replaced?

Fast and furious has been built where Disaster! And the beetle juice show used to be - so yes, beetle juice has been replaced

It is another simulator style ride like Spider-Man/transformers etc

No confirmed date yet but I am pretty certain they said Spring so you should be good in June/July

As a family we were looking forward to this but having just watched the video of it at Universal Hollywood it looks terrible.

The trolley car works for Kong but I can't see how this is going to work for F&F. I thought it would be more like Transformers which we love, you know actually in a car rather than a trolley.

Is it going to be the same at Orlando does anyone know?

Not sure if we will miss the opening as we go next Sunday

The Orlando version will be the same basic ride as Hollywood. Difference being instead of the lengthy tram tour cars you go through on in Hollywood you will be in vehicles similar to Kong, only themed to party buses.

Having done the Hollywood version it�s ok, nothing too spectacular, although better in person than the POV video. Would rather had a unique new ride rather than something that is essentially the same as Kong just with a different theme.

The Fast and Furious attraction at Universal Hollywood is part of the Studio Tour we enjoyed it but it's not a ride. Should imagine the Orlando version will be similar will find out in October.
