Universal Studios Alters Fast & Furious Ride Access and Announces Supercharged Closure

Universal Studios Hollywood has changed its Halloween Horror Nights Express offering: the Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift coaster is no longer included in the standard Express ticket, and guests can only ride it through the limited‑access R.I.P. Tour. The park’s website shows contradictory statements about the policy, and no explanation has been provided.

At Universal Orlando Resort, the Fast & Furious: Supercharged attraction will close permanently on August 17, with August 16 as the final day for guests. The shutdown comes earlier than the originally planned 2027 closure and follows a period of mixed reviews, with criticism focused on the ride’s heavy reliance on projection screens and a slower ride system that many felt did not match the high‑speed franchise.

Both changes affect visitors planning to experience Universal’s Fast & Furious‑themed rides during the upcoming months.
