Fast and Furious: Hollywood Drift coaster (Opening 2026)

Seeing that setup, I wouldn't be surprised if Universal acquires the Vin Diesel wax figure again to have next to it

God they look so good.

I hope they use the cars for photo ops now also have one for the attraction. These looks really nice and think F&F fans are going to love them and want pictures with them

Each specific ride vehicle will be a differing car, representing a different character from the Fast & Furious franchise!

This ride is going to be INSANE

Giant brick box of doom is still ugly

But notice the concept art seems to imply the conversion of the ice cream, luigis, & Duff Gardens area into the Hollywood Drift theme

Duff Gardens becomes Corona Gardens, where you can crack open a cold one with Family.

You can still see the Springfield sign if albeit barely. It honestly seems more like the area in-between the gift shop and the ice cream place is going to become overflow seating; for the sake of food.

man, they absolutely nailed those ride vehicles. just superb work.

72 mph for the coaster sounds nutty, I wasn't expecting to hear that. I'm also surprised those arched windows to the right of the building's front aren't the entrance, but where the actual entrance is gonna go makes sense. I just wonder where will people exit from since the extended queue seems to be in the former SES exit.

Considering Xcelerator is faster to my knowledge, this should be easier to stomach with the more dynamic track layout.

Still though, that's definitely gonna be something to mentally prepare for. The track already looked intense as is. I'm also stoked to see the ride vehicle on my next visit.

There's even MORE rotation than I was expecting, this thing is going to be surreal.

 

[Southerncoasterer]

Over 4,000ft of track!

And you just know it’s gonna be smooth as butter. Hype hype hype.

 

[Rhian]

This is going to be a great ride! Ever so slightly faster than VelociCoaster too.

Losing two theaters for this is still a bummer, but there’s no denying this looks like an absolute home run. Very excited.

I think the vehicles look great, really hope they have a cool photo op with the cars when the ride opens

The building looks…I mean come on anyone could predict it to me compared to epic, HP and SNW the theming is the least interesting universal has done in a while but coaster fans seem not to care

I’ll say this, I’m sure Coaster nuts will love this ride. I’ll be honest and see how it feels but sounds like a every now and the coaster.

The good hopefully lines go there and other attractions have power lines because if this but to me the think this coaster will be for a very specific audience and we will see how that plays out

My food for thought is most younger people will enjoy but will be very interested to see how the average family enjoys or avoids this attraction

Many here don’t yet suffer from going on coasters but once your bodies get to an age where they do that’s it and these rides lose a huge value to you as a park goer

So will be interesting to see in the long run how this coaster affects the park

The blue sky dream is Simpsons replaced by a Wicked stage show/Emerald City mini land

Do we know what we should expect capacity wise? With 16-passenger vehicles, they'll need to dispatch every 40-secs to get the traditional "ideal" 1,440 riders an hour benchmark.

I've stated this a little while back, but if Universal is keen on shoving Wicked to every park they can, Simpsons at USH will be the spot to do it, and if they can expand the show building into the tram stop, you got a large scale E ticket dark ride.
