Actor and professional wrestling superstar Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson recently filmed exclusive scenes for Universal Studios Hollywood’s upcoming attraction Fast & Furious Supercharged, which is starting to take shape ahead of its 2015 opening.

Based on the The Fast and the Furious franchise, the new attraction will be the finale to the popular Studio Tour. The ride will put guests into the “high-stakes underground world of fast cars”, having them join the likes of The Rock in a high-paced, frantic escapade.

Currently under construction inside a 50,000sq ft (4,645sq m) building on the Universal backlot, the attraction has been conceived as a new instalment to the film series, with a completely original story. Guests sit inside a tram and will be able to watch as the chaos unfolds around them.

Speaking to The New York Times, Universal Creative’s executive producer, Mike West, said: “We’re going to make it feel like those trams are being pulled through the streets at speeds of over 100 miles per hour.”

The ride's opening is expected to fall in line with the April 2015 release of Fast & Furious 7, which stars Vin Diesel, Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Tyrese Gibson, Tony Jaa, Kurt Russell, Nathalie Emmanuel, Djimon Hounsou, Lucas Black, John Brotherton and the late Paul Walker.
