USA: Now Open: Fast & Furious – Supercharged at Universal Studios Florida

Good news for fans of the “Fast & Furious“ blockbuster movie franchise, featuring Vin Diesel amongst others: After a short soft opening phase, Universal Orlando Resort’s newest attraction, “Fast & Furious – Supercharged“ is now open at Universal Studios Florida. The official opening of the new ride, which was announced as novelty for the first time almost three years ago (cp. EAP news f. 3 Sept 2015), will be celebrated on May 2. The new attraction is located in the San Francisco theme area and replaces the former “Disaster“ ride and the theater that was home to the former “Beetlejuice Graveyard Revue“.

After passing through two pre-show areas in an old warehouse-style building with numerous props and cars – the Fast crew’s headquarters – and having been prepared for the upcoming adventure by the stars of the movies, visitors join up with the crew and board a party bus, becoming witnesses of an action-packed car race. Fast & Furious – Supercharged is the next attraction at the park to feature the new virtual line system, which was introduced through “Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon“ last year. (eap)
