Fast and Furious: Supercharged

Fast and Furious: Supercharged is a motion simulator ride located in the San Francisco section of Universal Studios Florida. It is a port of a ride of the same name at Universal Studios Hollywood, where it is part of that park's Studio Tour. It is based on the long-running The Fast and the Furious film franchise by Universal (specifically the 2013 entry Fast and Furious 6), and features many actors from the films reprising their roles as their respective characters. The ride opened on April 23, 2018, replacing Disaster!. The ride features guests joining Dominic Toretto and his crew on buses to protect an important witness from being captured by the FBI and Owen Shaw.

History
Plans for a ride based on The Fast and the Furious at Universal Orlando Resort go all the way back to 2007, when Back to the Future: The Ride was closed. Although The Simpsons Ride later opened in its place at both Universal Studios Florida and Universal Studios Hollywood in 2008, a ride based on The Fast and the Furious was being considered for the space at the time, but the plans were dropped in favor of The Simpsons Ride.

Approximately ten years later, and shortly after the ride opened at Universal Studios Hollywood in 2015, Fast and Furious: Supercharged was announced for Universal Studios Florida. It would later open in 2018, replacing ''Disaster! and Beetlejuice's Rock and Roll Graveyard Revue''. Much like other previous rides at Universal Studios Hollywood's Studio Tour, this ride is an expanded version of the same segment on the tour. The major differences at Universal Studios Florida are the additions of Jordana Brewster and Ludacris reprising their roles as Mia Toretto and Tej Parker in numerous preshow and safety videos, and no 3D effects.

Trivia

 * Series mainstay Brian O'Connor, does not appear in the ride, due to his actor, Paul Walker, having died in a car accident in 2013. A photo of his character can be seen in one of the preshow rooms as a tribute to Walker.
 * The queue line of the ride resembles a repair garage, with many replicas of the cars featured in the films.
 * The ride is notable for receiving negative reception from fans and critics at both parks, primarily due to the attraction being yet another attraction that focuses heavily on projected screens instead of practical effects such as animatronics, following other multiple attractions such as Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon, and King Kong 360 3D (A Studio Tour segment at Universal Studios Hollywood that became the basis for Skull Island: Reign of Kong.)
