New Theme Park Ride With The Rock To Open at Universal Studios Orlando

PWInsider reports that Universal Studios Orlando is in the process of having a “soft open” for the Fast & The Furious: Supercharged theme park ride before its official grand opening. It’s based on the films and will include several stars as well as Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. The stars filmed scenes exclusively for the ride. It’s already open at Universal Studios Hollywood.

A press release for the ride states: “Join the Fast & Furious family for a full-throttle, high-octane experience where you’ll be immersed in heart-pounding action alongside Dom, Letty, Hobbs and the rest of the crew. You’ll meet up with the team and check out iconic vehicles and memorable locations from the films. Just as the party is getting started an enemy infiltrates your location and a wild chase ensues. You’ll have to keep up with this unbreakable family as they help you escape from danger on this thrilling new ride.”

Johnson also filmed scenes for the final version of Universal Orlando’s closed Disaster ride, playing a fictional action hero. He’s currently working with Disney to update their Jungle Cruise ride to tie-in to the upcoming movie based on the ride.
