Big news coming out of Orlando as Universal Studios Florida has announced a new roller coaster project that simultaniously means closure of an existing dark ride. A new thrilling Fast & Furious-themed coaster will rise as the park says goodbye to Fast & Furious: Supercharged.
Universal Studios Florida announced to built the new Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift coaster on the plot of land that came available after the closure and removal of Hollywood Rip, Ride Rockit, that closed in August of last year. With a new major attraction based on the Fast & Furious movie frenchise, the exisiting Supercharged ride is becoming obsolete and will be closed.
Fast & Furious: Supercharged is the combination of a dark ride and immersive tunnel. Guests board large trucks to join a party, but the trip quickly changes into a high speed chase-action sequence. The ride system features trackless trucks that seat up to 24 guests. For the main ride sequence, the trucks are parked on a motion base, surrounded by video screens. The attraction has a similar approach as Skull Island: Reign of Kong in Universal’s Islands of Adventure.
The main sequence of Fast & Furious: Supercharged used to be part of the Studio Tour at Universal Studios Hollywood as well. The park in California is opening a new Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift this year and have closed the Supercharged sequence on the Studio Tour in March last year.
Universal has not announced an exact date for the closure yet, but the ride will remain in operation for the whole of 2026. It will close around the opening of the new coaster, somewhere in 2027.
