Fast progress is being made on the new “Fast & Furious” themed roller coaster under construction at Universal Studios Hollywood! It is set to open in 2026. “‘Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift’ will be the park’s first high-speed outdoor thrill ride and will feature “technological achievements never previously employed in a roller coaster,” the park said in a previous statement.
“As Universal Studios Hollywood continues to evolve, the arrival of ‘Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift’ will be a powerful game changer that will infuse a new level of thrill into our already dynamic theme park,” said Scott Strobl, the park’s Executive Vice President & General Manager.
If you see the construction in person, you will see that the ride is being constructed on the Upper Lot and Upper Lot. The ride will launch from the park’s upper lot and descend into the lower lot for a series of banked turns and inversions, including a loop around the Starway escalator. Per Universal, the coaster cars will be able to rotate 360 degrees to replicate the drifting seen in the movie franchise’s famous race scenes.
The ride’s queue will be a large, red brick “garage-style structure” in the upper lot, and the cars will be modeled after those in the films.
