‘Get ready, set and go’ on an adrenaline-fueled thrill ride on Universal Studios Hollywood’s new ‘Fast & Furious–Supercharged’ ride.
Although the supercharged ride won’t shift into high gear (launch) until later this year, Universal has given thrill seekers a sneak peek in the 30 second promo that aired during Super Bowl this year.
The ad features pop singer, Rita Ora as well as Fast & the Furious’ elite heroes – Vin Diesel (Dominic “Dom” Toretto); Michelle Rodriguez (Letty Ortiz); Dwayne Johnson (Luke Hobbs); Tyrese Gibson (Roman Pearce); and Luke Evans (Owen Shaw).
Check out the commercial above.
The movies’ characters also appear in the mega-attraction, which takes guests to the high-stakes underground world of fast cars to save one of their own from an international crime cartel.
‘Fast & Furious–Supercharged’ fuses an original story with sophisticated hyper-realistic special effects with a state-of-the-art 3D audio system and 3D-HD imagery, projected onto the world’s longest and most expansive 360-degree screen.
Spanning nearly 400 feet in length to encircle Studio Tour guests within a newly constructed 65,000-square-foot structure on the legendary backlot, the sprawling custom-built screen will employ 34, 4K projectors and a sophisticated projection configuration system to fully envelope guests in unprecedented realism.
Coupled with an intense blend of thrilling visceral effects, “Fast & Furious—Supercharged” will take guests on a wild ride that begins the moment they board the Studio Tour.
The adventure will culminate with spectacular action sequences that send guests careening through the streets of Los Angeles—at perceived speeds in excess of 120 miles per hour—aided by the elite team of unforgettable heroes.
The ride is part of Universal’s plans to expand its activities and attractions.
Also coming to the park in 2016 is ‘The Wizarding World of Harry Potter‘.
Similar to the version opened in Orlando in 2010, it will include a Hogwarts castle that will serve as the focal point of the environment.
Universal is working with author J.K Rowling and Warner Bros Entertainment to build the Wizarding World. Read on
Further details will be revealed closer to the ride’s launch.
