Fast & Furious has invaded Universal Studios Hollywood.

The long-awaited Fast & Furious Supercharged ride has finally arrived and is the grand finale to the studio tour at Universal Studios Hollywood. The new attraction will have tour attendees see “the high-stakes underground world of street racing at perceived speeds of 120 mph.” It features cast members from the movie series including Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson and Michelle Rodriguez.

While sitting in a tram, guests will be surrounded by a 360-degree, 400-foot screen while wearing 3D glasses. Although the ride is stationary, riders will have the feeling of speeding at 120 mph, with the tram at one point jumping a bridge across a river.

The latest entry to the Fast and Furious movie franchise, Fast and Furious 7, set numerous records and eclipsed the $1 billion mark worldwide in just over two weeks.

“We are thrilled to bring Universal’s incredibly compelling film franchise to life,” said Larry Kurzweil, president of Universal Studios Hollywood, in a statement.
