Fast & Furious – Supercharged™
Universal Studios Florida · San Francisco
Overview
Fast & Furious – Supercharged is a 3D tram-based ride in the San Francisco area that places guests inside a street chase alongside the franchise cast. An extensive queue features actual vehicles and props from the film productions before riders board a tram that enters a massive 3D environment for the chase sequence. At medium intensity, the ride falls between the park's family and thrill tiers, with medium motion sickness potential from the simulated high-speed environment. The prop queue is widely considered the attraction's strongest element.
ParksLog Verdict
The prop queue — featuring actual film vehicles from the Fast & Furious productions — is legitimately impressive and worth exploring slowly before boarding. The ride itself underdelivers relative to that setup; the 3D chase is the weakest major screen-based experience at the park. Franchise fans will find the queue alone worthwhile. Everyone else should use Express Pass or visit when waits are short. Not a priority over Gringotts, Mummy, or Transformers.

Tips
- The prop and vehicle collection in the queue is the experience's genuine highlight — allow time before boarding to explore the actual film cars on display.
