Fast and Furious: Hollywood Drift coaster (Opening 2026)

[BriefCasey]

So if this is accurate, does that mean a VERY long softs period? Not sure if I buy that considering they're probably pushing to open it before FFN. The pass member preview thing almost sounds too good to be true.

I had the same question so I asked him twice, and he confirmed again that it will open in the summer. I assume that it is caused by site geography feature. Since it's located right next to studios with very steep hills, a new roller coaster type from Intamin(high-speed controlled spinning blitz coaster) these factors may cause lots of unexpected situations even after enough test cycles.

They need lot more time to tune and adjust extra to ensure to operate reliably. I believe that they can do a preview so early because once they install glass panels with enough ride cycles(and this will proceed quite quickly since HHN is over and they will gain more time for construction), the ride is practically ready to go but not capable of holding a large amount of crowd due to reasons I explained here.

They said that I have very good ideas, asked me to apply for an internship and that's it! Hope this helps.

Hey that's Jerrod's spot!

Hey guys, today I went to USH and bumped into one of the creative people. Since I do architecture, we talked for around 20 minutes, discussing architecture and theming, improvement recommendations.(I also pointed out an ugly wall on the sky bridge queue area, asking them to replace it with glass material) And I heard a very very interesting thing from them.

Here is what I heard

1. Pass member preview of Hollywood Drift starts around mid-December.

2. Unexpectedly, the opening of Hollywood Drift is set to summer 2026 instead of spring.

3. Yes, the Simpson land close permanently in 2028 to accommodate new attractions and experiences (They are considering between Wicked or Pokémon)

4. Waterworld stays forever! There is no plan to replace the show whatsoever.(YESSSS!!)

5. They did a vehicle spinning test on Saturday morning 11/8

But I haven't heard anything about Fast and Furious site expansion.
They said that I have very good ideas, asked me to apply for an internship and that's it! Hope this helps.
