IGN: I’m assuming every prior ride teaches you something new. Russell then brought me into the huge building that will house the ride, where we discussed how it all came together and involving the film actors – and more on how the effects and screens they've created make it seem as though you're traveling incredibly fast (and furious), even when you're not moving forward at all. What really impressed me was how just watching the movie footage on a small computer screen I felt an incredible sense of motion, as though I was hurtling forward. Russell showed me a computer walk-through of the entire ride, including the lead-up portion setting up the scenario and then the main ride itself, which involves huge screens on both sides of the guests, putting them into the middle of a high speed street race, in a manner Universal first used for their King Kong attraction. A few weeks back, I was given an early look at what to expect from Supercharged from Universal Studios Hollywood Executive Show Producer, Chick Russell, whose previous work for Universal theme parks included Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey and Transformers: The Ride.
