This attraction will bring guests into the action of the 3.8\u00a0billion dollar Fast & Furious franchise.\u00a0Universal has stated that the attraction is planned to open in\u00a02017<\/strong>, so it is expected that construction will begin shortly after Halloween Horror Nights 25<\/a> comes to a close.\u00a0This would bring some life into San Francisco<\/em>, an often overlooked part of the park. Disaster will close on September 8, 2015 and Beetlejuice will close later this year to make way for the new attraction.<\/p>\n

Disaster!<\/em> had replaced Earthquake<\/em> in 2008, which was a main attraction when the park opened in 1990. Beetlejuice just recently had a reboot in February 2014. They removed\u00a0the rock and roll focus\u00a0from the show and based the\u00a0music based around mash-ups and viral internet videos.<\/p>\n
