Fast and Furious: Hollywood Drift coaster (Opening 2026)

Coaster3D's doing estimates and if they can hit 36 seconds per dispatch; it seems the ride should be able to support 1.8k per hour

That's gonna be rough for Horror Nights. Assuming that theoretical capacity is in the ballpark and they can achieve it (meaning no major delays, no downtime), you're looking at 12,600 riders during event hours from 7pm to 2am. It gets worse if they have to close the ride early to appease the neighbors and comply with noise ordinances, which I suspect they will. For context, a typical healthy Horror Nights crowd is double that number.

It should do a lot to soak up crowds, at least.

I'd have to wonder if they're gonna try to shoot to have this operational till 1AM. I know some rides have closed earlier for technical elements (Jurassic and Nintendo specifically), but I wonder if because of the way it's being set up; that they're gonna try to ensure that doesn't become a issue.

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

I recently invested in a reliefband and some prescription-strength Meclizine to help with motion sickness. I don’t quite feel like a teenager again, but after my last trip, it’s made me hopeful I still have some coaster-riding years ahead of me.

I think this will fit a nice niche at USH. For the folks that can partake, it’s a type of experience they don’t have at the park,

Welp. So much for this coinciding with the release of the final film.

Now OD @ Florida though…

Bruh...that just made Universal's crazy 2026 lineup a bit weaker. But its probably good to spread the load.

If Fast X Part 2 actually comes out this decade, I'll be shocked....

Maybe the coaster will show up in the movie for a meta moment.

At least the coaster will have some additional marketing boost after opening.

What on earth is going on with this movie??

I was under the impression since Fast X was a 2-parter the whole thing was filmed together or at least most of the second movie had been completed by the first part released.

If they're trying to resurrect Brian for the movie there could be additional hurdles there. Could also be budget discussions behind the scenes considering the line from the article:

It grossed more than $700 million worldwide at the end of its run against a colossal production budget of $340 million.

Aside from the name of the coaster there hasn't been any confirmation about what the 'storyline' of the coaster is about, yeah?

I read "Brian O'Conner" as "Conan O'Brien" and got excited for a minute. That would be a F&F movie I'd watch!

Honestly, screw it -- Fast XI should just have Dom waking up at home in Los Angeles (cuts the budget like Universal wants), realize the last few films were just a fever dream (also cuts the budget like Universal wants in not having to deal with the cliffhanger of X), then go to Race Wars (returns to car culture like Vin Diesel says they all want to do), win, and when asked how he's gonna celebrate, he looks at the camera and says he's going to Universal Studios Hollywood. Wrap the franchise up in a neat, little bow and promote Hollywood Drift all in one go.
