Credit: UniversalUniversal has a new Fast & Furious project in the works – and it’s not a roller coaster.
Universal has experimented with Fast & Furious-inspired attractions for more than a decade. Fast & Furious – Supercharged debuted on the Studio Tour at Universal Studios Hollywood in 2015, before a standalone version opened at Universal Studios Florida in 2018. Both relied heavily on screens and received a mixed response from fans.
Universal has since gone in a much more ambitious direction with Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift. The 72 mph coaster uses rotating vehicles to recreate drifting, but its arrival has not been entirely smooth. Nearby Toluca Lake residents complained about riders’ screams, prompting Universal to install additional sound barriers.
It’s also proven controversial due to a lack of accessibility for taller and larger guests.
Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift officially opened to all guests today after a series of soft opening previews. Orlando is set to receive its own version of Hollywood Drift in 2027, while Hollywood and Orlando have both already retired Supercharged.
But one park is about to pivot to an entirely new concept.
Universal Unveils Brand-New Fast & Furious Attraction
Universal Beijing Resort has announced that a new Fast & Furious dark ride will be added as part of the park’s upcoming expansion. Unlike Hollywood Drift, the attraction will be entirely indoors, marking another major change in how Universal is adapting the franchise for its theme parks.
The ride will combine the series’ trademark car chases and action sequences with immersive sets, storytelling, and a dedicated ride system. Universal says guests will be placed directly into the action, with the experience designed around the speed and spectacle that have defined the films.
Universal Beijing Resort announced a new indoor thrill ride based on Fast & Furious will be coming to the park. A new nighttime lagoon show was also announced. Below are the official details:

Few other details have been confirmed so far, including an opening date or specific ride technology. However, the project suggests Universal is not abandoning Fast & Furious as a theme park property, even as it moves away from the screen-heavy Supercharged format that defined its earlier attractions.
Also announced was Nighttime Spectacular at the Lagoon, a brand-new show for the park that is said to feature “light and shadow, music, storytelling, and live interactions.”
The Fast & Furious franchise will next return to theaters with Fast Forever, its 11th and reportedly final movie, on March 17, 2028. Vin Diesel (Dominic Toretto) has said filming is expected to begin in December 2026, with Louis Leterrier returning to direct and Michael Lesslie writing the latest version of the script.
The film is expected to conclude the cliffhanger left by Fast X, while returning the story to Los Angeles and placing a renewed focus on street racing and car culture. Dwayne Johnson (Luke Hobbs) and Gal Gadot (Gisele Yashar) were both teased as returning in Fast X, while Diesel has also said the finale will address Brian O’Conner, played by the late Paul Walker.
