The ride will be equipped with “a state-of-the-art ride system uniquely created to engulf guests within the dynamic Fast & Furious universe,” the park said. Universal Studios officials declined to share other details but confirmed that “Fast & Furious — Supercharged,” which is part of the backlot Studio Tour, will remain in operation. The announcement comes a few weeks after the release of “Fast X,” the 10th installment in the franchise, which revved its long-running engine for more than $700 million at the worldwide box office.
