Overview
- Fast & Furious: Supercharged ended operations with its last rides on Sunday and was officially closed on August 17, 2026, after which Universal quickly removed the ride from its app and painted over signage.
- Universal is already building Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift and crews installed the coaster’s final track piece this month, with the Orlando version slated to open in 2027.
- Technical rehearsals for Hollywood Drift in Los Angeles have produced reports that some taller and plus-size guests could not get restraints to close properly and were turned away, prompting guidance to use test seats before long waits.
- Universal has not announced a permanent replacement for the large Supercharged showbuilding in Orlando and is using parts of the site for Halloween Horror Nights while online rumors and a flexible “black box” overlay concept circulate as unconfirmed possibilities.
- Supercharged opened in 2018 to mostly negative fan reaction for its heavy reliance on screens, and critics including a former Universal Creative executive have said it missed the mark, making the shift to a physical coaster a deliberate response to guest demand and a test of whether Universal will design vehicles that fit a wider range of bodies.
