Universal Moves Passholder Discount Shop Into Former Fast & Furious Retail

Overview

• Fast & Furious: Supercharged closed permanently in August, with its final operating day on Aug. 16, leaving a large show building and adjacent retail empty in the park's San Francisco section.
• Universal confirmed that the UOAP x UOTM discount store will relocate from the Brown Derby into the former Custom Gear Store beginning Sept. 3, putting passholder-focused discounted merchandise directly inside the former attraction footprint.
• The change is an interim, guest-facing reuse that keeps the space active without committing to demolition or a new major attraction, signaling a measured planning approach by Universal Creative and resort operations.
• No permanent replacement has been announced and several fan-driven ideas—Twisters, Back to the Future, Ghostbusters, or a flexible 'flex' attraction concept—remain unconfirmed rumors reported by outlets.
• The move affects annual passholders and team members who use the discount shop and could prolong public access to the site while Universal progresses separate Fast & Furious coaster work in California and plans for an Orlando coaster in 2027.
