There are so many great rides at Universal Studios Florida<\/a>, including Revenge of the Mummy<\/a>, Transformers: The Ride 3D<\/a>, and Fast and Furious: Supercharged<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"Universal Studios Florida<\/p>\n

But one of our favorite attractions at Universal Studios Florida<\/a> is closing soon. Even though \u201cit\u2019s never goodbye\u201d in the Fast & Furious universe, it really is goodbye for Fast and Furious: Supercharged<\/a>!<\/p>\n

Universal just announced that Fast and Furious: Supercharged<\/a> is officially closing at Universal Studios Florida<\/a> on August 17th, 2026. This means your last day to ride is on August 16th! Back in January, Universal announced the poorly-rated<\/a>\u00a0ride would permanently close<\/a> in 2027. Universal has not yet announced what will replace Fast and Furious: Supercharged<\/a> or why the closing timeline was moved up.<\/p>\n

\"\"Fast and Furious Supercharged<\/p>\n

Universal also announced in January that a brand-new Fast & Furious-themed roller coaster was hitting Universal Orlando at the former site of Rip Ride Rockit. Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift<\/a> puts riders in the driver\u2019s seat for 360-degree drifting with jaw-dropping maneuvers, notably a 170-foot vertical spike that will shoot guests nearly 17 stories in the air.<\/p>\n

\"\"Hollywood Drift construction<\/p>\n

Universal has recreated four iconic cars from the films that you can hop on and ride. These cars spin 360 degrees and go up to 72 mph. If you can\u2019t wait to ride Fast and Furious Hollywood Drift<\/a> yourself, then you can head to Universal Studios Hollywood to check out the ride, which is the park\u2019s first-ever high-speed coaster.<\/p>\n
