Fast & Furious: Supercharged closes at Universal Studios Florida after 2026 run

Fast & Furious: Supercharged closed permanently at Universal Studios Florida on August 17, 2026, ending the ride’s run and clearing the way for a franchise shift that is already visible on property. Guests who wanted one last spin got their final chance the night before, during an annual passholder exclusive after-hours event.

That last day came with more than a shutdown notice. Universal Orlando handed departing guests a free One Last Ride car coaster, sold farewell shirts with the words One Last Ride and the month of the closure, and kept a live DJ and entertainers on hand for the final celebration.

August 16 final rides

The attraction’s last rides happened on August 16, 2026, before the permanent closure took effect the next day. That schedule gave passholders a final after-hours window, while the wider guest base lost access once the ride shut its doors for good.

For anyone tracking the space as a practical matter, the immediate change was visible at once. The attraction’s name was painted over or washed off from the front wall of the entry facade on August 17, 2026, and the listing disappeared from the official Universal Orlando app. The ride also can no longer be found on the official Universal Orlando website.

Merchandise and the exit shop

The closure did not mean the entire footprint went dark. Custom Gear, the ride’s exit gift shop, remained open on August 17, 2026, with One Last Ride shirts still in stock and many existing merchandise items marked down to 50% off.

That mix of clearance pricing and remaining stock tells the story of a property being wound down in layers, not all at once. Universal Orlando has closed the attraction and removed its listing, but it has not said what will replace the space.

Fast & Furious next year

Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift is set to open next year, and the final piece of track was installed just this month. Universal Studios Florida is therefore moving from one Fast & Furious stop to another, but the next one is a new coaster rather than a continuation of the old ride system.

Universal Studios Florida visitors should treat the former Supercharged location as retired space for now and watch the franchise handoff instead of expecting an immediate replacement announcement. The closure is complete; what comes after it is still a blank stretch of track.
