Fast & Furious: Supercharged (Closing August 2026)

[MAC]

Yeah, makes sense. Universal, with the terrific WDW expansions looming in the near future, can't afford to fall behind. I think they greatly overestimated what Epic would do, never expected the capacity and constant breakdown issues, and now they have to readjust their game plan. They spent a ton of money on Epic and their market share didn't increase much, if at all. They probably took some United Sea World business, but WDW stayed strong.

I think it’s a fair stopgap. Especially if they’re going to revamp San Fran one day. No idea what would fit that space well.

I’d like a Great Movie Ride as a stopgap instead, but I don’t sign the paychecks.

If they end up doing that I doubt it'd be a stopgap, that has potential to be an attraction that lasts for a very long time with updates made along the way

That could be the sort of addition that along with a new land would really help solidify USF as a worthy part of the lineup

Also, the rumor is the screen tunnel is being upgraded from projections to LED. That’s more investment than I was expecting to be honest.

Oooo that’s a good sign! This tells me there could be practical effects in the 360 room! If they weren’t going to do that, why else would they need to upgrade to LED? If they left it as is, they wouldn’t need to worry about projections conflicting with the practical.

If they can get the screen tunnel up to par with the screens of Bourne and Monsters Unchained - along with a few practical set pieces/props and some heavy wind and water effects..

I think this could be much better than people are expecting.

Yea, that’s my hope. LED has finally allowed for physical sets and practical moving elements to be blended with screens on rides.

Now the question is, is this only for Hollywood’s tram tour, or are we really also getting it in Orlando too?

We're gonna end up with a Vin Diesel M+G in that space instead.

Only if he’s hanging from a tiny drone

Only if he’s hanging from a tiny drone

And then we find out the tiny drone is family.

We'll be wishing for a Twisters re-theme at that point (or that Supercharged just comes back)

 

[Freak]

I better see Glenn Powel and Vin Deseil riding into the tornado yelling “Ride or die for FAMILY!”

 

[Columbo]

Have now had the idea of an end of night drone show in the park with lots of Vin Diesels hanging from them all enter my head, a thought which frankly I find terrifying
