Rockit Demolition Fuels Talk of Fast & Furious Coaster, Putting ‘Supercharged’ in Doubt at Universal Orlando
Universal has not confirmed plans, with speculation centering on a high‑speed Fast & Furious replacement following Rockit’s removal.
Overview
- Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit closed permanently on August 18, 2025 and has since been demolished, opening a prominent build site at the park entrance.
- Fan and outlet chatter points to a Fast & Furious high‑speed coaster modeled on the project at Universal Studios Hollywood, though no announcement has been made.
- Observers say a new coaster would likely make Fast & Furious: Supercharged unnecessary, as the current attraction is widely criticized for screen reliance and a lack of real speed.
- Coverage frames the potential change as part of Universal Orlando’s broader shift toward modern, thrill‑oriented, franchise experiences following Epic Universe’s debut.
- Alternative concepts in fan discussions include Ghostbusters, Scooby‑Doo, legacy tributes to Back to the Future and Jaws, and a refreshed behind‑the‑scenes filmmaking attraction, with no official timeline or theme confirmed.
