With the impending closure of the unpopular Fast & Furious: Supercharged ride at Universal Studios Florida in 2027, speculation is rife about what will replace it. Many fans are hoping for an expansion of the nearby Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley, given its immense popularity and the valuable real estate the former Supercharged show building occupies.

Why it matters

The location of the Fast & Furious: Supercharged ride is prime real estate, sitting adjacent to the hugely successful Wizarding World of Harry Potter - Diagon Alley. An expansion in this area could further drive attendance, merchandise sales, and repeat visits to Universal's parks.

The details

For years, the Fast & Furious: Supercharged ride consistently appeared on 'worst ride' lists, and its impending closure has sparked a wave of speculation among fans. Online forums are filled with theories, with one user suggesting the space could accommodate a Knight Bus ride. While Universal has not officially confirmed any plans, expanding the Wizarding World would align with the company's strategy of capitalizing on successful intellectual properties.

• Fast & Furious: Supercharged will permanently close in 2027.
• Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift is slated to replace Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit.
