Universal Studios Hollywood is opening its Fast & Furious-Supercharged ride to park visitors on June 25, 2015, and they’re teasing its upcoming opening with behind the scenes footage of the Fast and Furious movie-themed thrill ride. In the new video, cast members Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, and Dwayne Johnson talk about the ride and what guests of the park can expect when they get on the tram and check out the Fast and Furious Supercharged ride.
The ride will feature cast members Vin Diesel, Luke Evans, Michelle Rodriguez, Dwayne Johnson, and Tyrese Gibson in a “harrowing escapade – at perceived speeds in excess of 120 miles per hour – to save one of their own from an international crime cartel.” Discussing his participation in the ride, Johnson said, “I get a chance to become Luke Hobbs and kick-ass…all in 3D.”
Michelle Rodriguez added, “It’s really a sensory-driven experience, and I can’t wait to see what happens.”

Fast & Furious—Supercharged is a high-octane, adrenaline-fueled thrill ride and new grand finale to the world-famous Studio Tour. The dynamic hydraulic motion-based ride will tell an original Fast & Furious story that fuses sophisticated hyper-realistic special effects with a state-of-the-art 3D audio system and 3D-HD imagery projected onto the world’s longest and most expansive 360-degree screen. Spanning nearly 400 feet in length to encircle Studio Tour guests within a newly constructed 65,000-square-foot structure on the legendary backlot, the sprawling custom-built screen will employ 34, 4K projectors and a sophisticated projection configuration system to envelop guests in unprecedented realism.
Coupled with an intense blend of thrilling visceral effects, Fast & Furious—Supercharged will take guests on a wild ride that begins the moment they board the Studio Tour. Exclusive interstitial content – that was filmed with the cast members – will be featured on the tram monitors, highlighting interactions as they engage guests en route to the ride’s climatic scenes. Along the tram route and featured on the ride, sightings of numerous prop cars from the Fast & Furious series, including Dom’s iconic Dodge Charger, will enhance the story.
