Universal Permanently Closes Fast & Furious: Supercharged as Orlando Coaster Project Moves Forward
The closure signals Universal's shift toward a higher‑thrill Fast & Furious coaster as the Supercharged showbuilding remains without an announced replacement.
Overview
- Fast & Furious: Supercharged gave its final rides on August 16 and was removed from Universal Studios Florida on August 17, 2026, with the attraction’s name painted over and its listing pulled from the app and website.
- Crews and Universal offered farewell merchandise and a passholder after‑hours event for the attraction’s final night, and the adjacent gift shop remains open with discounted inventory.
- Construction on Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift has reached a major milestone with its final piece of coaster track installed earlier in August 2026 and the new roller coaster scheduled to open in 2027.
- Universal has not announced any formal plan for the large Supercharged showbuilding, and online speculation about temporary overlays, a flexible 'black box' reuse, or a Twisters‑style 360° LED tunnel remains unconfirmed.
- Redevelopment could be slow because the Supercharged building has a complex tunnel and systems to rework and Universal is balancing other projects like Lost Continent demolition and Epic Universe permits, which could keep the space used for seasonal events in the short term.
