Yesterday (June 23rd) was a big day for Universal Studios Hollywood as it was the official grand opening of Fast and Furious Supercharged Ride. We were invited to join in on their grand opening festivities at the Courthouse Square on the lower lot of Universal Studios Hollywood.

The unique thing about this grand opening was that the festivities took place more than a half a mile away from the actual Fast & Furious attraction. It may be because of the confined space of that Fast and Furious area, so they needed some bigger space to host the event.

After parking the car and checking in, we jumped on the tram which took us down to the Metro sets

At the event, we were able to see and captured some photos of Vin Diesel, Jason Statman, and Tyrese Gibson as they were walking to the main staging area as the event is about to get under way

Oh yea. The coolest thing about the event taken place in Courthouse Square was the ability to sit, eat, and relax on the famous Courthouse building stairway  that was famously seen in Back to the Future

Overall, we had a great time on this immersive Fast and Furious Supercharged ride.  We highly recommend sitting in car 3 on the Studios Tram and in the middle seats to truly experience and be immersed attraction.

Be sure to visit Universal Studios Hollywood soon to experience this in-person as photos and videos don’t do it justice online.
