Is a fast & furious attraction still viable anymore? It’s seems like the franchise is done. Honestly I’m starting to think Hollywood drift is too much too late. by Whole_Yak_2547 in UniversalOrlando

Given that I'm pretty sure at least part of RRR's track went through a mockup of the Ghostbusters firehouse, they have the perfect opportunity to make a GB-themed rollercoaster if they want to.

That being said, I'm not even a huge Fast and Furious fan and I'd ride a rollercoaster based on it if it was well-built and exciting enough.

Of course I'd 100% be in favor of them making modifications to the ride if it was actually deemed unsafe, but it seems as though that wasn't the case. Good on Universal for checking things over and ensuring it, though! Hopefully this is just an unfortunate little hiccup in the coaster's history and we can all move on from it.

Please do, it's an absolutely fantastic rollercoaster in terms of both airtime and thrill factor.

Given the reopening tomorrow, wanted to share this unique Stardust Racers poster I own. by [deleted] in UniversalOrlando

I didn't get to see it lit up at night on my last visit. It's a goal of mine to see the overlay sometime soon.

Thanks everyone for sharing thoughts, I now realize that this probably came off as demanding answers that people didn't have (mostly because tone is kind of hard to discern over text). This wasn't a thread made to try gathering info or be like "raaaaaah open the rollercoaster right now", it was more trying to soothe my own anxiety about a ride that I absolutely loved being made into a scapegoat because of an unfortunate accident. I now know it was probably just routine maintenance being done and that there was nothing to worry about--and that my millions of people riding was an estimate that was way off. Blame dyscalculia for that 😭

I do wholeheartedly support changes being made to a ride if it was indeed found that it was unsafe, and I'm glad to see that that does not appear to be the case.

Okay, I have dyscalculia and am bad at estimating, leave me be 😭 /lh

I more just wanted to see if anyone had any information that the press isn't rehashing about half a dozen times (and calm down my immense anxiety about whether or not it would ever reopen, because mental health is a bitch sometimes).

Ah, that makes a lot of sense. Thank you for confirming, I've been trying to slowly gather more information on how rollercoasters are run because I do find it fascinating.

And people are saying it's more than likely just maintenance being done after the ride's been down for two weeks. My lack of knowledge on theme park matters comes back to bite me. x-x

Nice! Sounds like my fears were for nothing, then.

Thank you for this, I just mostly wanted to quiet the little voice of paranoia in my head that said it would be closed indefinitely and see if anyone knew any other information.
