— Official Description[3]

Plot[]

Dominic Toretto, Roman Pearce and Letty Ortiz team up with Luke Hobbs to save a member of their team from an "international crime cartel", led by mercenary Owen Shaw.[2]

Ride[]

During the tram tour, guests encounter a 1970 Dodge Charger in the middle of Wysteria Lane. The tram tourist calls security. While the trams are entering the hideout, Hobbs, Roman, and Letty ruin Novak’s call to the guests and inform them of the mission and to keep cell phones off and silenced. Inside the hideout, a party is taking place and everyone is forced out by Agent Novak and his team. Roman arrives late with a group of women, only to encounter Novak himself. The agent pulls out a gun and demands Pearce to the ground. Hobbs, Letty, and Dominic join Roman for support. Agent Novak backs away and the trams proceed. Guests are then asked to put on their 3D glasses.

In a dark parking lot, a group of mercenaries demands the guests to speak up on the witness and a chase ensues. As the tram travels throughout the city, Hobbs, Dominic, Letty, and Pearce provide support for the guests while they fend off the enemies. The trams manage to take cover in a dark room successfully. The team thanks guests on a mission completed before proceeding to end the Studio Tour.
