The campaign features a series of original images and an engrossing behind-the-scenes video, including interviews with the cast of its new thrill ride: Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson and Luke Evans.
A collection of six images, each featuring the stars of the ride depicted in a variety of action sequences, will be unveiled sequentially with a group shot of the characters racing alongside a Studio Tour tram.
There’s also a lengthier, more complex look at the making-of this revolutionary new attraction, featuring insightful perspective and commentary from the cast and producers, is also being released, and can be seen in the feature box above.
‘Fast & Furious—Supercharged’ is a technologically advanced, epic ride that reunites stars from the Fast & Furious series in a groundbreaking mega-attraction designed to catapult guests into the high-stakes underground world of street racing at perceived speeds in excess of over 190 kilometres per hour.
This high-octane ride is conceived as a new installment to the Fast & Furious franchise and will debut as the grand finale to Universal Studios Hollywood’s behind-the-scenes Studio Tour that can only be experienced at The Entertainment Capital of L.A.
Vin Diesel, lead actor in the latest release, said the ride is ‘new territory for us’ and makes the hit franchise ‘immortal and immersive’.
“All the fans of our franchise can actually live through and be a part of. It’s a testament to that loyal and dedicated fan community that has always been our #1 champion.”
