Get ready to rev your engines! Universal Studios Hollywood is set to unveil a new addition to their theme park – a Fast & Furious rollercoaster. Construction is already in progress for this upcoming thrill ride, promising to offer an unmatched blend of excitement, technology, and innovation. Essentially, this attraction will give you a taste of what it’s like to be part of Dom’s crew, delivering high-octane action and drifting maneuvers reminiscent of the successful movie franchise.
Visitors of Universal Studios will recall a part of the studio tour that takes guests around the premises, revealing the enchantment of Hollywood and intimate encounters with characters from classics like Psycho and Jaws. This tour also features an existing Fast & Furious experience known as “Supercharged,” a high-speed, 3D thrill ride with beloved characters such as Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel), Roman Pearce (Tyrese Gibson), and Owen Shaw (Luke Evans).
As of now, the park has not disclosed when the new rollercoaster will be open to the public or what its storyline will entail. However, it’s safe to assume that, much like the 3D experience, fans can anticipate an exciting ride through an intense chase scene alongside the franchise’s familiar faces. This announcement follows closely behind the release of Fast X, the latest and potentially final installment in the blockbuster franchise, featuring an ensemble cast that includes the likes of Rita Moreno, Brie Larson, and Jason Mamoa.

The upcoming Fast & Furious rollercoaster follows the recent unveiling of the vibrant Super Nintendo World, which has been drawing in huge crowds since its inauguration earlier this year. In line with this wave of change, Universal Studios Hollywood has decided to discontinue the Animal Planet Live show, marking an end to the era of performing animals.
