A BIG Change Is Coming SOONER to Universal Orlando Than We Thought

By Robin Burks Leave a Comment

Disney World isn’t the only theme park making big changes — Universal Orlando has been making some pretty big updates to its parks, too. First, Epic Universe still has that new smell because it’s only been open for a little over a year. But even that park is getting a new ride soon.

Fast & Furious: Supercharged

The Lost Continent and Mythos Restaurant recently closed to make way for something new, while Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit was recently demolished in Universal Studios Florida to make way for a new Fast and Furious roller coaster. But speaking of Fast and Furious, the Fast and Furious: Supercharged ride in Universal Studios Florida will be closing a lot sooner than anyone thought…as in NEXT MONTH.

So Universal previously announced that Fast and Furious: Supercharged would close in 2027, but Universal recently sent a message to Universal Orlando Annual Passholders confirming that the ride will actually close on August 17th, 2026 — as in next month. That means the last day to ride the attraction will be on August 16th. It looks like Universal is moving ahead with whatever will replace it, although there hasn’t been an official announcement as to what that might be as of yet.

Fast and Furious: Supercharged

Fast and Furious: Supercharged is a thrilling motion-based dark ride that drops riders into the world of the Fast and Furious movies. It uses curved screens to simulate street racing, with ride vehicles being referred to as party buses. The ride and queue features appearances by actors from the franchise, including Dwayne Johnson, Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, and more.
