Universal Orlando is getting ready for its next big, high-speed chapter—and that means saying goodbye to one of its recent headliners.
Fast & Furious: Supercharged will permanently close at Universal Studios Florida in 2027, the park confirmed this week, as it clears space for a new Fast & Furious–themed roller coaster announced on Tuesday.
"As Universal Studios Florida makes way for this exciting new experience, Fast & Furious–Supercharged will permanently close in 2027," shared Universal Orlando in a press statement.
While an exact closing date hasn’t been shared yet, the decision marks the end of a ride that has been part of the park since 2018.

View this post on InstagramSupercharged opened as a standalone attraction inspired by the blockbuster film franchise, taking guests through a screen-based chase experience alongside characters like Dom, Letty, Hobbs and Roman. The ride begins inside a detailed recreation of the crew’s garage before boarding party buses for a high-speed pursuit involving FBI agents and franchise villain Owen Shaw.
When it debuted, Supercharged was treated as a major event. Several stars from the films— including Vin Diesel, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris and Jordana Brewster—appeared at the Orlando opening, underscoring how closely Universal tied the attraction to the movies themselves.
Since it opened, fan reaction has been largely unsparing. On Reddit and theme park forums, guests have repeatedly describedFast & Furious—Supercharged as a missed opportunity—especially for a franchise built on speed. “You kind of expect a Fast & Furious ride to be fast,” one fan wrote, calling the attraction “a slow-moving party bus where you watch a bunch of videos.”

Others pointed to the screen-heavy design, with one commenter summing it up bluntly: “Don’t sell us a show as a ride.” Even longtime Universal fans who enjoy campy attractions admitted they rode it more for the unintentional comedy than the thrills, describing it as “so-bad-it’s-good” or something they’d only board when there was no line. The most common refrain, though, was disappointment—what one guest called “an expectations-versus-reality problem” for a series known for car chases, explosions and excess.
The ride has had a shorter lifespan than many Universal attractions, but it hasn’t existed in isolation. A version of Fast & Furious: Supercharged also operated at Universal Studios Hollywood as part of the Studio Tour tram experience. That segment closed in 2025 as Hollywood began construction on its own Fast & Furious–themed coaster.
In Orlando, Supercharged’s closure comes as part of a larger reshuffling of the park’s lineup. The new Fast & Furious coaster will ultimately take over space once occupied by Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, the longtime roller coaster that closed in August 2025 after nearly 16 years of operation.
For fans of Supercharged, there’s still time to ride—but the clock is officially ticking. And for Universal, the move signals a clear shift: away from screen-based attractions tied to older entries in the franchise, and toward bigger, faster rides designed to match Fast & Furious’ reputation for spectacle and speed.
