Universal Orlando to Close Fast & Furious: Supercharged in 2027 as It Overhauls Legacy Lineup

The move points to a push for more hands-on, movie-magic attractions with no replacement yet confirmed.

Overview

  • Universal has confirmed Fast & Furious: Supercharged will permanently close in 2027 after years of guest criticism over its screen-heavy, bus-based experience.
  • The closure frees a large show building beside the park’s San Francisco area and the hanging shark photo spot, which has fueled fan speculation about a Jaws revival that Universal has not announced.
  • Other long-running fixtures are also changing, with the Mystic Fountain permanently closed, the Horror Make-Up Show ending for a rework, and Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit removed to clear the way for the Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift coaster.
  • Recent Universal patents and ride R&D highlight systems for moving animatronics in new ways, which fans believe could support modern practical effects instead of relying mostly on projections.
  • Inside the Magic reports that with Horror Make-Up Show down for reimagining, E.T. Adventure now stands as the only operating opening-day attraction at Universal Studios Florida, underscoring how much the park’s identity has shifted.
