Using special effects and 3D-HD imagery on what it calls "the
world's most expansive 360 degree screens", Universal Studios
said its new "Fast & Furious - Supercharged" ride throws fans
into a high speed car chase exceeding 120 miles per hour.
Featuring original cast members of the popular franchise, it has
been dubbed the finale to the theme park's behind-the-scenes
Studio Tour.
"Fast & Furious" actors Vin Diesel, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese
Gibson and Jason Statham attended the red carpet premiere on
Tuesday night, which saw a car crash through a billboard to mark
the opening.
"When you put people in a theater or (they watch) a blue ray
DVD, they are watching in the comfort of their home," Gibson
said. "But to physically be inside a tram car and experience
your favorite franchise as a theme park ride, it definitely
raises the bar."
