Fast & Furious - Supercharged: The Party Bus Pulls Into the Garage (Ep. 112)
Jim and Eric explore the end of Fast & Furious - Supercharged, new Halloween Horror Nights reveals, and Universal's next generation of attractions.
Universal Orlando is putting Fast & Furious - Supercharged in park, and Jim Hill and Eric Hersey revisit how the troubled attraction made the jump from the Universal Studios Hollywood tram tour to a standalone Florida ride. They also unpack a rush of Halloween Horror Nights announcements, including Fortnite and Evil Dead, plus the apparent early reveal of an Ozzy Osbourne house. Along the way, the hosts discuss The Odyssey's blockbuster debut, new ride-system speculation, and a listener-assisted correction to their He-Man history.
