Universal Moves Up Fast & Furious Supercharged Closing to August 16, 2026

The early shutdown will clear the site at Universal Studios Florida for the outdoor Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift roller coaster.

Overview

  • Universal confirmed on Wednesday that the last day to ride Fast & Furious – Supercharged will be August 16, 2026, with the attraction closing for good the following day.
  • The company said the closure is to clear the former Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit site for construction of the new Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift coaster.
  • Universal had earlier signaled a 2027 closing window for Supercharged, so the August date advances the shutdown by roughly five months.
  • The passholder notice teased a closer look at Hollywood Drift but gave no firm opening date and did not mention any farewell events for Supercharged.
  • Universal Creative has already unveiled the coaster’s four themed vehicle designs—Dodge Charger, Mazda RX‑7, Nissan Skyline GT‑R, and Toyota Supra—and the replacement aims to address criticism that the standalone Supercharged ride relied too heavily on screens rather than high-speed coaster elements.
