ORLANDO — Universal Orlando’s newest attraction ‘Fast & Furious – Supercharged’ will soon be racing into Universal Studios Florida.

One of the world’s highest-grossing film franchises of all time, now with eight movies under its belt (and at least two more to come), The Fast and the Furious (also known as Fast & Furious) is set to get its own UO attraction with a scheduled opening date in spring 2018.

Adds UO: “Here’s everything you need to know about Fast & Furious – Supercharged at Universal Orlando Resort”:

• Guests will encounter more of their favourite Fast characters than ever before in ‘Fast & Furious – Supercharged’. For the first time ever, Tej (Chris ‘Ludacris’ Bridges) and Mia (Jordana Brewster) will join the star-studded cast of the attraction, which includes Dom (Vin Diesel), Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), Hobbs (Dwayne Johnson), Roman (Tyrese Gibson) and criminal mastermind Owen Shaw (Luke Evans).
• ‘Fast & Furious – Supercharged’ will be the only place where guests can see. and even take photos with, 15 supercharged Fast & Furious cars, many of them driven by some of favourite Fast family members. Each vehicle, including Dom’s iconic Dodge Charger and Letty’s Turbo Truck, has been crafted by Dennis McCarthy, the man behind the cars for the Fast & Furious films.
• Guests will be able to select a time to ride ‘Fast & Furious – Supercharged’ via the Official Universal Orlando Resort Mobile App or at kiosks located near the attraction entrance. “While you wait for your ride time, you can enjoy other experiences throughout Universal Studios Florida.”
• Guests can ‘live’ an original Fast & Furious story that expands on the films and brings them face-to-face with Fast characters. “As soon as you approach the attraction, you see Dom’s Dodge Charger parked outside – and you know exactly where you are. Inside, you’re immersed in the ultimate Fast & Furious experience. Hit songs from the films’ soundtracks fill the rooms as memorable scenes from the series play around you. You make your way through familiar places inspired by the films, like the Family Room – complete with photos of the Fast family – and Tej’s high-tech War Room. You are invited to attend a race after-party that can’t be missed, and Tej arranges for a custom party bus to get you there. As you make your way to the party, Dom calls with an urgent message. Owen Shaw is headed your way. A high-speed chase ensues, and you must rely on the Fast family to lead you to safety. But will it be enough to keep you and the gang from the clutches of Shaw?”
