Film star Vin Diesel

made a grand entrance to help Universal Studios open its Fast & Furious — Supercharged ride during a party marking the attraction’s opening.

Fast & Furious — Supercharged, the latest ride at Universal Studios, got off to an explosive start Wednesday night at the theme park, courtesy of film star Vin Diesel’s fiery grand entrance.

He appeared to speed around a corner and crash through a garage door wall near the attraction during a party marking the grand opening of the attraction.

In Hollywood, it’s a 3-D attraction. In Orlando, it’s 2-D, no glasses required. “We increased the frame rate and the resolution to make the image appear three-dimensional without the need for 3-D glasses,” said Don MacLean, vice president of attraction development for Universal Cre-
