Universal Clears Former Fast & Furious Finale as Studio Tour Replacement Is Promised
Visible site work suggests the long-vacant Studio Tour finale is being readied for reuse without a disclosed project identity or opening date.
Overview
- Fast & Furious—Supercharged closed on March 10, 2025, and Universal said at the time the segment’s removal would "pave the way" for a new Studio Tour attraction.
- Observers reported activity in early August 2026 at the Hollywood backlot building, including utility markings, open doors, dumpsters with discarded scenic material, and warning lights indicating personnel inside.
- Universal has confirmed it intends to install a new Studio Tour attraction in Hollywood but has not announced the attraction’s theme, scope, or an opening schedule.
- Universal Orlando will permanently close its standalone Fast & Furious—Supercharged after August 16, 2026, creating a separate vacancy that must be handled differently because it has a full queue, preshow spaces, and a discrete ride system.
- Reporters and fans have floated a Twisters-themed revival based on the 2024 film, but that idea remains speculative, no heavy‑alteration permits or official project filings have appeared publicly, and the two parks’ different technical setups could produce different replacements.
