Become a member of the family on this high-speed rollercoaster.
If you’ve always wanted to join the family, you’ll soon have your chance as Universal Studios Hollywood has revealed the upcoming Fast & Furious rollercoaster. Promising to be the perfect ride for thrill-seekers, construction is already underway on the park’s latest attraction, which plans to include “innovative and technological achievements” that will make their debut with this adrenaline-pumper. Essentially, it sounds like this is as close as you can get to running a heist with Dom and the rest of the gang at the high speeds that we’ve so far only seen play out on the big screen in the expansive franchise – and yes, there will be plenty of drifting.
A Thrilling Experience with the Family
Those who have taken the studio tour, experiencing the magic of Hollywood up close, will be familiar with the Fast & Furious experience offered along the way. Titled “Supercharged,” it is a 3D attraction where riders join the team on a top-speed chase, encountering familiar characters like Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson), and Owen Shaw (Luke Evans).
As of now, Universal Studios Hollywood hasn’t revealed the ride’s completion date or the specific plot. However, based on the 3D experience, it’s safe to assume that the family members will guide riders through a thrilling journey from the front seat of a souped-up car. The announcement of the coaster comes shortly after the release of Fast X, one of the final films in the franchise, which has been a box office success.
Out With the Old and in With the New
The introduction of the Fast & Furious coaster follows the recent opening of Super Nintendo World, a highly-anticipated attraction that has been drawing fans since its debut earlier this year. Unfortunately, the arrival of new experiences sometimes means bidding farewell to the old, as Universal Studios Hollywood discontinued the Animal Planet Live show, which featured animals performing stunts for park guests. However, visitors can still enjoy adventures with beloved characters from franchises like Harry Potter, Transformers, and The Mummy.
Stay tuned for more information on the Fast & Furious coaster as it becomes available, and in the meantime, check out the trailer for Fast X below.
