Fast & Furious - Supercharged ride immerses you into the world of the films
Having been on the original Fast & Furious ride at Universal Studios Hollywood, Tej and the Turbo Truck are new additions, as is the garage set. In California, the attraction is part of the larger Studio Tour, where guests travel by tram in to the backlot of Universal Pictures' working movie studio. There, Fast & Furious is part of several experiences. In Florida, the attraction is standalone, allowing for additional world building during the queue, which includes the addition of Ludacris's character.
As I move along the line, I notice the props and set dressing. Universal went the extra mile in this department. Red Recaro seats, a titanium muffler and a front clip from an R33 Nissan Skyline GTS lie casually on the other side of chain-link stanchions. I make my way past the engine parts, headers, body panels, coilovers, and various other automotive details, and arrive in a room with a live actor. She sets up some of the backstory for the ride and introduces Jordana Brewster on-screen. Similar to Tej, her character Mia is a new addition and explains the area we're waiting in is the family room, a nod to all the Fast & Furious family photos sprinkled about.
My eyes wander to a corner of the room, to a wall of lockers with two pictures on its side. On top is a photo of Mia, directly below is one of Brian, Paul Walker's character. Next to it, a locker door is partially opened with a workshirt hanging off of it. The name patch reads Brian. On the ground, next to a child's play mat, is a toy R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R, a vehicle both the character and actor were known for driving. Insert tearing emoji. Nicely done, Universal Studios
