Universal Studios Florida has officially said goodbye to two major attractions in just one year.
Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit permanently closed in August 2025. Now, exactly one year later, Fast & Furious: Supercharged has joined it.
But Universal isn't simply removing attractions and leaving empty spaces behind. At least one replacement is already becoming impossible to miss.
Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift is under construction at Universal Studios Florida, and crews recently installed the coaster's final piece of track. Meanwhile, Supercharged's permanent closure creates another massive opening inside the park — one that could take considerably longer to fill.
Two Universal Attractions Are Officially Gone
Fast & Furious: Supercharged officially closed forever on August 17, 2026, after giving its final rides the previous evening.
The attraction opened in 2018, giving it a surprisingly short run of less than a decade. Universal marked its final days with farewell merchandise, and guests leaving on its final day received a commemorative “One Last Ride” car coaster.
By the morning after its final rides, Universal was already removing signs of the attraction.
The Supercharged name had been painted over at the entrance, and Universal removed the attraction from its official app and website.
That makes Supercharged the second major ride Universal Studios Florida has permanently retired since last August.
Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit was the first.
And unlike Supercharged, we already know exactly what Universal is building in its place.
Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift Is Rising
Universal is replacing Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit with Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift.
The new roller coaster is scheduled to open in 2027, bringing the Fast & Furious franchise back with an experience dramatically different from Supercharged.
Construction has also reached an important milestone.
Universal installed the final piece of Hollywood Drift track this month, meaning the coaster's track layout is now complete.
Plenty of construction remains before guests can actually ride it, but the completed track gives visitors a much clearer picture of Universal Studios Florida's changing skyline.
Ironically, all of this is happening just as the park's previous Fast & Furious attraction disappears.
What Happens to Supercharged?
That's the much bigger mystery.
Universal hasn't announced a replacement for Fast & Furious: Supercharged.
The attraction occupied an enormous warehouse-style building in the San Francisco area. Depending on what Universal eventually chooses, replacing Supercharged could require substantial changes to both the building and surrounding area.
There are already some interesting theories.
One suggests Universal could keep much of the existing ride infrastructure and turn the building into a flexible attraction space. Under that concept, Universal could periodically swap out the attraction's media for temporary experiences rather than committing the building to one permanent franchise.
Back to the Future has surfaced in online discussions surrounding that possibility, but Universal hasn't confirmed those plans.
There are also rumors involving Twisters (2024), although those currently center more directly on replacing the former Supercharged portion of the Studio Tour at Universal Studios Hollywood.
For Orlando, waiting may be the most realistic scenario.
Universal is already using part of the former Supercharged queue and facade for Halloween Horror Nights, making immediate demolition unlikely.
Universal Studios Florida has now lost two substantial rides in a year. One replacement is already rising and preparing for a 2027 debut.
The other could remain a mystery for quite a while.
