"Fast & Furious – Supercharged" will be similar to the popular King Kong 360/3D experience on the tour, offering wrap-around 400-foot movie screens to simulate the trams racing through city streets at more than 100 miles per hour, as in a scene from the movie series.
The new experience will open next summer and be part of an ongoing expansion of the tram tour, which eventually will begin operating in the evenings with a modified nighttime storyline. And that's also part of the billion-dollar-plus "Evolution" makeover of the Universal Studios Hollywood property, which will include the construction of new hotels (the old Fung Lum restaurant was torn down this week, making room for one new hotel), a Springfield land around The Simpsons Ride for spring 2015, and a Wizarding World of Harry Potter for sometime in 2016.
The park's newest attraction, the Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem ride, officially opens to the public on Saturday, and we'll be there for the "yellow carpet" celebrity event on Friday. Photos to come!

The Studio Tour is the centerpiece of the park & by adding newer, state of the art elements (as well as that new nighttime storyline!) will make sure the tour stays the centerpiece! Cool idea.
With Springfield, potter, the new studio tour, etc. USH is really getting a makeover!
The transformation of this park is incredible. I'm so pleased to see this park, which is largely responsible for starting my admiration of theme parks, getting so many awesome attraction in just a short 5-year span.
