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 theatre 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 favourite franchise as a theme park ride, it definitely raises the bar.”
